Sad to hear that the peerless, legendary Syd Mead has passed away.
No-one imagined the future quite like he did and without him sci-fi would not be quite as vibrant and relevant.

A toast to Syd Mead, legendary futurist and, as far as I can recall, only westerner to do official design work for Gundam. He was even tapped to design for the 1980s live-action film that never came to be.

Rest in peace. You helped shape the look of the future for so many.

Syd Mead was a visionary and one of our main inspirations.
Rest in peace.

Without Syd Mead, no Daft Punks helmets.

He's not too happy about those either:
"Not only is the Daft Punk version poorly proportioned but the ornament is a badly executed variation of Greco-Roman motif. I don't really care at this point."

The legendary Syd Mead passed away today. What a force of inspiration and creativity. His designs and aesthetics are so unique, designing and inspiring so much of what we love today.

Hence why his designs translated so well to the big screen. Here, the famous Blade Runner spinner, as envisioned by Mead, and as built on set.

Syd Mead has died. A huge loss. Sci fi would not be what it is without him.
