Spotted these posters online for the London 2012 Olympics depicting tennis, fencing, cycling and diving. I'm not sure if they are actual posters in production or proposed - all I know is that I really like them and applaud Alan Clarke for designing them.
The Olympics is a great venue that draws international interest and is ripe with opportunities for brilliant design. These posters are a step in the right direction and take the events to a higher level.
On the other hand, this logo for the 2012 Olympics (designed by Wolff Olins and costing some $400,000) is not well designed and feels trapped in a time-zone in some mall in Sherman Oaks circa 1983, sandwiched between an "Esprit" store and a "Hotdog on a Stick" stand.
Ouch.
