I can't even count how many times I've gone to this wonderful archive of the 1972 Olympics in Munich, featuring the print design work of Otl Aicher. If I could, I would live in that year and that palette of Otl Aicher; it just works so well: it's attention getting, its clean, its vibrant, and its not tacky. Visit 1972municholympics.co.uk for much more, and don't be startled by the "price list." You can get vintage matchbooks for £3 or postcards for £5. Pretty reasonable prices for genuine vintage olympic designs by the legendary Mr. Aicher.
I've always wondered why Montreal just used the exact same ball and stick guy graphics for the event logos...
