Reminiscent of Otl Aicher's Munich '72 work, these proposed posters for the London 2012 games by Alan Clarke are phenomenally simple (and large enough files to be downloaded and printed if you like).

Okay, I don't usually assign homework, but if you live within 500 miles of San Jose State University I'm afraid I'm going to have to make visiting this show mandatory. Spiele: Otl Aicher's Olympic Graphic Design chronicles Aicher's work for the 1972 Olympics in Munich, and promises to be the definitive collection of International Style work in recent memory.
Munich....Sans Spielberg
In honor of the Olympic opening ceremonies today, I'm posting about a great site featuring Otl Aicher's work for the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Not only was it great work for the Olympics at the time, it remains some of the best work (in my humble opinion anyway) for anything, period. Classic like Reeboks.
They don't make them like they used to...
A fantastic Flickr set with posters from the likes of Otl Aicher, Wim Crouwel, and my personal favorite poster designer of all time, Josef Muller-Brockmann. I can hear you now, "What do you know, Jason's favorite poster designer is Swiss....big surprise."
(in oddly German accent) STOP BEING INSOLENT AND VIEW ZEE POSTERS!!
