Last week on the Colbert Report (episode aired on 2-11-2010) guest David Ross, museum curator, discussed Olympic posters, past and present. He briefly touched on the different visual styles for the olympic games throughout history, and how the heroic figures and powerful imagery has disappeared over time. It is very interesting to hear how corporations have influenced the change in design, taking it into a more corporate identity feel, moving away from the preceding heroic imagery of strength.
