"For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art."
-Avery Brundage, American sports Administrator and President of the International Olympic Commitee (IOC) from 1952 to 1972. 1887-1975

the Olympics is a celebration of some of the best athletes in the world. therefore, the design carrying such an event must be exceptional as well. design associated with the Olympics for the 20th and 21st centuries has been modern, fresh, and instep with the design of the given era. new ideas have been introduced as well as new ideas for inventive typefaces (i.e. the Mexico Olympics circa 1968). and the Vancouver Olympics is no different. the look and feel of the design elements present are clean vibrant and keep in step with today's design aesthetic.
