Was looking over some of the past Official Records, and apparently Grenoble 1968 has quite distinctice pictogrammes (as it was called back then vs. 'pictographs' as they are called today.
Too lazy to reprint them, so you'll have to look for yourself at: http://www.la84found...1968/or1968.pdf U gotta have PDF capability in order to view the on that link.
Can u imagine what they would look in color -- or cleaned up?

So, here are the pictograms. They were realised by a french man named Roger Excoffon, who was famous to design fonts.
He also designed the Grenoble's medals
If you want to do the same to you pictures, you could use the EXCOFFIZER.....
Personnaly, i like much the one for Biathlon !!!

These are great. Olympic graphics today are crap compared to the ones in the past.

I don't like much the pictograms. Rather, the whole graphic look of the games looks brilliant, especially the posters.

The more I see these things, which I never paid any attention to in the past, the more I think Mexico City's were brilliant.
"Don’t pay any attention to the nonsensical claims of that windy city. Its people could not build a World’s Fair even if they won it."
