Excelente trabajo de recopilación. El de Sydney 2000 me parece bellísimo.

I thought our 2012 logo was bad (and it is), but seeing some of the older ones I am re-assured that Olympic posters throughout history have been equally terrible. Tokyo and Melbourne rank highly, but the winner has to be Mexico 1968 – some kind of hypnotic mind-warping propaganda tool to lure you into the stadium!

It’s amazing that through the golden age of poster making they still managed to find sub-par artists.
Then again, art by committee is always going to turn out piss poor.
The 1900 one is an exception and the Atlanta poster manages to have style.
The London poster looks like graffiti of a woman giving head. I can’t decide if that or Mexico win for most eye-bleedingly bad.

I’m disappoined with Tokyo.

Tokyo, Munich, Moscow and Barcelona stick in my head – I don’t ever remember seeing Atlanta, Sydney or Los Angeles – I’m not surprised; they’re pretty shit.
In defence of the London ‘blowjob’ 2008 poster.. At least this horror is being talked about and noone will ever claim they don’t recognize the brand – Is that not one of the purposes of this design?

The 1928 Amsterdam poster shown here is not the right one. See http://www.athensinfoguide.com/olympicposterssummer.htm for the original poster. The IOC never managed to obtain the copyrights for that poster, so for all publications after the games they used the cover design of a book on the Olympics.
Note the text in German: “Olympische Spiele”; in Dutch that would have been “Olympische Spelen”, or “IXe Olympiade” as used on the real poster.

I am from Egypt and I study in the historical development of publications, the Olympics, do you have any information on the impact of technology on the printing of posters and slogans and declarations of the summer and winter sessions? And raw materials used in printing?
And technical schools to which belong these publications?
