Congratulations to Julio Leon of Burbank for being the winner in our
Pick-The-Float meeting held on February 4, 2010. On February 10,
2010 his
design was submitted to Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association's Theme
Draft Meeting and was officially accepted by Pasadena on February 18,
2010. |
|
On Saturday, February 20 the Design Committee held a brainstorming
meeting. 2011 the City of Burbank will turn 100, the main theme of
our brainstorming session was celebrating Burbank and what makes up the
City of Burbank. Several ideas and icons were presented. On
Saturday, February 27 the Design Committee met again and was presented
with five variations to review. |

|
On Saturday, March 6 the Design committee met and was presented with two
more consolidated drawings. From these two (not displayed) another
draft drawing was created and presented to the Board of Directors on
March 11, 2010 for their review. The drawing below was reviewed by the
Design Committee on March 13. |
|
 |
 |
On March 27, the Design Committee reviewed this updated drawing and
recommend that the car be moved out to "hover" past the front of the
float, this will also mean that the float title will also need to be
moved to the front bumper of the car. This revision now shows the
Bob Hope Airport on the off-camera side of the float. |
|
The Design Committee solicited ideas for images to use in the
"filmstrip" around the base of the float. Bob Hope was one of the
many candidates that everyone liked. |

|
On April 26, 2010, we received approval to use Johnny Carson's image
from Carson Entertainment Group, however we were notified that the image
we submitted was backwards. Johnny's part on his hair was
reversed, so we moved his part. |
 |
Another "filmstrip" idea is Walt Disney holding Mickey Mouse. |
|
April 26, 2010 This draft of the overall float now shows the car
hanging off the front of the float. |

The above drawings were release on May 22, 2010 and represent to first
scale drawings of the float showing basic dimensions and layout.
The drawings don't reflect the official float title "Centennial
Celebration". |
 |
We have received permission to use the new Cartoon Network logo on the
side of the float in the film strip area. |
 |
|
On July 1 we received the final color rendering
(above). |
|
After we received final approval on color rendering, we were approached
by Woodbury University to be included on the float. Since the
float was heavily representing entertainment, the Board of Directors
felt it would be good to show that Burbank is a well-rounded city and
treasure our education institutions by including Woodbury University. |
 |
 |
On October 1, 2010 we had a visit from a Nick cartoonist, Clint Bond,
who gave us some hints and tricks to look out for when we create
SpongeBob. The drawing on the left is some of his discussion
points. |
|
Other items planned for the film strip include the various versions of
the City Logo used throughout the years. This one on the right is
the original "cantaloupe" design making reference to the cantaloupe that
was grown in Burbank. |
 |
 |
As Burbank grew from a farming town to an industrial town, so did the
City's logo, now showing the influence of aviation and industry in the
City. |
|
Today's logo still includes references to our aviation history, but also
to the entertainment industry, which is now such a major part of the
city set on the foothills of the Verdugo mountains. |
 |
 |
To the right is the final design that will be used on both sides of the
float showing who we are. |
|
Below are additional filmstrip panels not displayed on
the rendering and will be on the back and off-camera side of the float |
