The Piece
This dynamic vintage poster was created for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, specifically representing the Equestrian events. Designed under the direction of Otl Aicher, the work features the iconic visual identity of the games with a solarized, high-contrast graphic style. The image depicts a show jumper in vibrant yellow and blue against a bright green background, capturing the athleticism and energy of the sport through stylized horizontal bands of color.
Why It Matters
- Otl Aicher's 1972 Olympic design system is considered a masterpiece of corporate identity and modernist graphic design, utilizing a strict grid and color palette.
- The "cheerful games" aesthetic marked a significant cultural shift for Germany, presenting a democratic and open image to the world.
- An authentic piece of sports history and a celebrated example of 20th-century visual communication.
