Otl Aicher’s 1972 Munich Olympics Design Work

Color, type, iconography — seems like a huge influence on iOS 7. Run a Google image search and some of these just jump right out at you. (Thanks to DF reader Samuel Iglesias.)

Update 1: More examples, at Designspiration.

Update 2: The one I call out above (linked on “jump”) is in fact by Max Bill, set within Aicher’s grid. You can see Bill’s signature in the top right corner. (Thanks to James Goggin.)
