Seeing as we are still in the grip of ‘Olympic fever’ I thought I’d post some excerpts from the brochures that accompanied the ’68 games in Mexico. There were at least 2 volumes and they included everything from historical background, art and architecture of the region, design styles and transport layouts.

The design team responsible for the look of the games was headed up by Lance Wyman alongside Eduardo Terrazas for urban design Beatrice Trueblood for Olympic publications, Manuel Villazon for the student design team and Peter Murdoch for special projects. I also have some from the Munich games which are widely considered the pinnacle of Olympic design.

Well Mexico.
