OLYMPIC POSTERS. I always loved the graphics and logo in the Mexico 1968 Olympic poster. Its my favorite Olympic poster of them all. There are no illustrations. Its just design and typography. Here are a few others I love for their simplicity.

DESIGN BY LANCE WYMAN

Inspired by the psychedelic style of the day and referencing the expanding-lines pattern found in 

 works by Mexico's Huichole Indians

DESIGN BY YUSAKA KAMEKURA

Olympic rings are superimposed on the emblem of the Japanese national flag, 

representing the rising sun

DESIGN BY ERNST ROCH AND ROLF HARDER

Titled "The Invitation", the five Olympic rings resound symbolically in successive waves, 

inviting athletes from all continents to the 1976 Olympic Games

DESIGN BY WLADMER ARSENTJEV

A section of a running track creates an architectural silhouette typical of Moscow, 

topped with a five-pointed red star
