E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Movie Poster Magnet - Design Spotlight

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic artwork from the 1982 film, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." The design encapsulates the movie's heart and soul, instantly recognizable for its powerful simplicity.

A Touch of the Divine

The centerpiece of the artwork is a poignant visual representation: the silhouettes of Elliott, a young boy, and E.T., the alien, mirroring the iconic "Creation of Adam" from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. Their fingers, bathed in a celestial glow, almost touch. This single detail encapsulates the film's core themes of connection, friendship, and the bridging of interstellar distances.

Celestial Backdrop

The artwork masterfully utilizes a dark night sky, speckled with stars, as a backdrop. This minimalist approach draws immediate attention to the central figures, intensifying the magical and otherworldly quality of the connection. The contrast between the darkness and the glowing touch highlights the vulnerability and hope at the film's core.

Symbolism of Connection

The outstretched hands and the light between them embody the film’s central narrative: a profound bond formed despite vast differences. The glowing contact point symbolizes communication, empathy, and the possibility of understanding across universes. The poster speaks volumes without any need for complex visuals, creating an enduring legacy.

Instantly Recognizable

The design, particularly the glowing finger contact, has become a universally understood symbol of the movie itself. Its elegant simplicity and deep emotional resonance make it an unforgettable image, cherished by generations.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
