Otto Aicher was a pioneer German Graphic designer and typographer. As a chief graphic designer of 1972 Munich Olympics he created a remarkable visual identity for 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany. His Olympic Games posters are characteristic of the deliberate avoidance of the red and black which were traditionally associated with a Nazi Germany and the use of the bold colours with metallic effect.
