>> David Brotherton (Disney Art Director): Hi, I'm David. I'm an Art Director at Disney.
I get to design runDisney medals.
(Fireworks Exploding)
The 20th Anniversary was coming up
So we wanted to make sure we designed a special medal for the 20th Anniversary.
We really wanted to capture the heritage of Disney
And the heritage of sport as well.
We wanted to make sure that this felt like an athletic medal
as well as a Disney medallion.
Started with a classic circle shape, really striking bold black.
And brought in a victory wreath for that kind of Olympiad-heritage feeling.
Then our quote ring with quotes from Walt
As well as our banners celebrating the first and the anniversary years of the Marathon.
And then we've got a special two-sided Mickey medallion
That spins with a classic pie-eye Mickey
as well as a modern Mickey.
So you've got two Mickey's on one medal.
Well here you guys go. I hope you love the medal design.
We know that we've got to keep the bar high
I'm proud of this and I'll probably run this Marathon
so I can earn this medal even though I designed it.
