Tamlyn Wright, Principal at Silent House, served as Production Designer for the 13th annual NFL Honors ceremony, which was held Feb. 8, 2024 at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas. Reprising a role she’s played for the NFL ceremony since 2022, she once again dreamed up a design that embraces the city hosting the Super Bowl. For 2024, accordingly, her design “oozed Las Vegas.”
“My initial designs were all gaming, luck, cards, dice, and neon,” the designer notes. Wright also looked at Googie architecture, a type of futurist architecture in the 1950s that was influenced by car culture, jets, the Atomic Age, and the Space Age, to evoke an iconic Vegas feel. “In a fun coincidence, Resorts World is on the site of the old Stardust, so I took the Stardust symbol and made that a little twinkle for the eyes, a bit of a wink to old Las Vegas. I needed a starscape for the background, so they’re my ‘Las Vegas’ stars.”
