Munich O.G 1972 Poster
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On this occasion, I want to talk to you about the splendid work of German designer Otl Aicher for the advertising campaign of the 1972 Olympics. His work reflects images and abstract forms with a vibrant and playful use of color. Each poster features a combination of bold and contrasting colors, capturing the dynamic and energetic spirit of the Olympic Games. The typography used in the posters is clear and modern, which brings harmony to the design. The Munich 1972 Olympic Games posters are considered iconic examples of modern graphic design, reflecting the cultural and design trends of the time.

During the 1972 Olympic Games, the princely family of Monaco suddenly appeared at the Bratwurstglöckl restaurant. Everyone ordered the house specialty, except for one thing: Princess Caroline was horrified by the pork sausages. No problem, they reached for the emergency sausages and served classic Viennese, with sweet Munich mustard at the princess's request.

In the third issue of Jon Sable, Freelance, cover date August, 1983, a part of his past was revealed. The illustrator for his children's books Myke Blackmon was given a manuscript by Sable's agent Eden Kendall called "A Storm Over Eden". Reading it, she learned Jon was competing in the 1972 Olympics and ranked 4th in the Pentathlon. He met and fell in love with gymnast Elise McKenna who was competing for Kenya, Africa. During their first date, the Munic hostage crisis happened. After the Olympics, he returned to Africa with her. The two were married and he became a Hunter Guide. They had two children. After a few years he found himself hunting a group of poachers and killed one of them. He was asked to become a Game Control Officer. Not long later, the poachers came to kill him, but he wasn't home so they killed his wife and children instead and burned down his house. ("A Storm Over Eden", Jon Sable, Freelance 3#, First Comics Event)

This man is legitimately the GOAT when it comes to this sport but I still find it odd that he could somehow miss that entire event but yeah, he was genuinely so focused that he did not know that that had happened in the same Olympic village he was living and training in.

Olga Korbut
Olga Korbut performing the banned 'Dead Loop' the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany.
The dead loop which is performed by standing on a high bar and then executing a backflip before grabbing the bar again was performed by Olga. It was the first and last time performed at the global level.
Why was it banned?
High risk of injury, many teens ended up with severe injuries including broken necks.

The Munich Olympics massacre was 50 years ago today. May the memories of the athletes and coaches be a blessing. May the names of the terrorists and their memories be erased.
