I came across this inspiring site yesterday which extensively documents the past posters of the Olympic games. It’s amazing to see how the graphic style of the country hosting them comes through in the designs. The standard in the collection is pretty high by and large, but a couple of years really stand out… Mexico – 1968, Munich – 1972, Russia – 1980 to name a few.

I have to admit that I have a serious fascination with certain antique objects. I collect a few on a small scale. Cameras, clocks, old signage and paper weights are the main contenders. Luckily this fascination has made its way into a project I am currently working on. An identity for a good mate of mine who is a videographer and photographer by trade. As always, I've been loving the research and concept stage of the project. Given my interest in antiques, I was searching Flickr specifically for images depicting old cameras coupled with their old-school branding. A few gems have turned up throughout the process, the main bulk are from this account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/s-demir/
