Yeah, modern Olympic posters suck! Wherefore art thou graphic illustrators?

This poster also doubled as a homoerotic Nazi deodorant ad.

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!

most of them are really nice looking, especially the 1930's to 1950's era. Then you see London 2012 and want to cry. Why o why did they think that abomination looked good??
