The Evolution of Daft Punk Helmets

A fairly thorough infographic of all the Daft Punk helmets throughout history compiled by Daft Club member, the chart demonstrates Daft Punk's progressively less-is-more evolution of their headgear, starting from the heavily configurable LED helmets which featured hearts and smiley faces and other messages of peace, love, understanding and respect. This design was in keeping with the heavy pop disco flavor of Daft Punk's 2001 album Discovery. 
The duo's helmets and overall appearance became very stripped down with expressionless helmets and neck-to-toe black leather in accordance with 2005's Human After All, which showcased a far more sinister sound. 
As part of the Alive 2007 tour, those helmets and costumes were augmented with glow-in-the-dark versions that invoked memories of 1982's Tron, the sequel to which, Tron: Legacy, Daft Punk scored, and their modified appearances for that film are tracked on the chart as well.
