The Posters of the London Olympics 2012


With the amateurism of the Olympics seemingly passed, the unity of nations having fallen behind the leading medal count, and the overall message of peace having been covered by a McDonalds' "Sports" Billboard, it would seem the spirit of the Olympics is gone, totally overtaken by our desire for success and victory. And from a sporting standpoint, It's probably true.

But, in terms of advertisements, it seems the London Olympics were looking for something a little less cookie-cutter. Following in the footsteps of previous Olympics, the city commissioned a number of top artists to create limited edition posters celebrating the games. Take a look and see what they came up with.
