Boxing – Munich 1972, by Otl Aicher
This striking poster from the 1972 Munich Olympics features a vivid, stylized depiction of two boxers engaged in a match. Rendered in bold shades of green, orange, and blue, the image conveys movement and intensity, with the halftone effect adding texture and depth. The composition is clean and modern, with the Olympic rings and Munich 1972 branding subtly positioned at the top.
The Munich Olympics were a landmark event in the history of sports design, with Otl Aicher leading the effort to create a unified and visually engaging identity. The games sought to showcase West Germany’s modernity and optimism, using bright colours and geometric forms to emphasize energy and international unity. Boxing at the 1972 Olympics was notable for the emergence of future legends, including Teófilo Stevenson, who won the first of his three Olympic gold medals for Cuba.
Otl Aicher (1922–1991) was one of the most influential graphic designers of the 20th century, known for his clean, functional approach to visual communication. Tasked with designing the visual identity for the 1972 Olympics, he developed a system of pictograms that set a new standard for international sporting events. His work extended beyond sports, shaping corporate identities for major brands such as Lufthansa and ERCO.
