The 1976 Winter Olympic Games were originally awarded to the city of Denver, but they withdrew after some financial concerns. But during the bid, Massimo Vignelli designed a few things, including this wonderful candidate poster. This is one of my personal favorite posters from that era, the way the 76 is cropped off acts as a teaser.
This is a poster designed by the awesome folks at Experiment Jetset for an exhibition titled “Club Céramique” by NAiM/Bureau Europa. I love how The Jet mixes in photography with type.
Really digging’ these posters designed by David Bennet for Emil Olsson’s site launch. And it’s not because I’m mentioned in the text. For reelz.
I usually hate when the swiss style is abused and used a gimmick, but this is fun. Graphic designer Mike Joyce has taken vintage punk, hardcore, and indie rock show flyers and redesigned them in the International Typographic Style.
Great minimal poster designs by Icelander, Ragnar Freyr. A nice example of the International Typographic Style.
Pierre Mendell (1929 – 2008) was a graphic designer that studied design under Armin Hofmann at the Schule für Gestaltung in Basel and later went on to form the Mendell & Oberer studioin 1961 in Munich. Mendell is best known for his work identity work Vitra and Siemens.
The MoMA has a small, but great, gallery of some of his work.
