German designer, Otl Aicher was probably best known for his work in creating the entire identity system for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich Germany. Looking through Flickr, you can find an incredible collection of Aicher’s work, ranging from the Games to his projects with Herman Miller. We recommend you to check out alphanumeric.‘s photostream of Aicher ephemera. And if that isn’t enough, someone has archived many of the elements produced for the 1972 Munich Games.
