Robert Miles Runyan (1925-2001) - Official 1984 Los Angeles Poster with the Olympic Rings, 1984

$0.00

35 x 24 ″

Poster for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics by Robert Miles Runyan, featuring the official “Star in Motion” emblem he designed, which was widely used on promotional materials and memorabilia. The star is a universal symbol of the highest aspirations of mankind; the horizontal bars portray the speed with which the contestants pursue the excellence, while the repetition of the star shape connotes the spirit of competition between equally outstanding physical forms. The symbol colors— blue, white and red—were in part chosen for their traditional significance in the awarding of prizes for first, second and third place.
