La designer Renata El Dib a pensé ces posters fantastiques pour la marque de crèmes glacées Kibon. Ces posters ont été pensés en double impression, avec d’un côté un imprimé rappelant la texture de la glace et de l’autre côté un imprimé faisant référence au cornet de glace. Une idée simple mais très bien exécutée.
Graduate designer Jordon Cheung provides an alternative to the official London 2012 Olympic memorabilia with these posters and prints illustrating equipment for the Games.
The 17 Days of Summer series includes the Torch at its centre and medals close by, surrounded with bikes, rackets, javelins, oars, balls, sportswear and more, all picked out in a palette of five colours.
There’s also a series of prints combining sporting equipment with the first letter of the relevant event.
“Designing anything linked to the games is very restrictive, so I opted not to include any official branding,” says Cheung. More on that here.
He recently graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London, and the posters are available from Fab UK.

London designers Rizon have created a series of unofficial posters for businesses to sidestep strict marketing rules that prevent them publicising their involvement in the London 2012 Olympics.
Their Underground Supporter posters can be downloaded here and are designed to avoid infringing the guidelines published by Olympic organisers LOCOG.
“Working in the field of licensing and merchandising, the draconian way LOCOG has enforced the brand rules around small and medium enterprises wanting to show their support of the games has incensed us,” says Rizon’s managing director Dave Collins. “Total control for sponsors is not the Olympic spirit and certainly not in the spirit of British fair play.”
He thinks LOCOG cold have generated revenue by creating a discrete official program called the ‘official supporters program’. For a small fee businesses would be able to download a pack of approved marketing materials allowing them to demonstrate their support for the games.
New London Architecture chair Peter Murray wore a T-shirt listing all the architects and engineers involved in London 2012 but unable to promote their contribution at yesterday’s Creative Industries Summit and made the design available to download via Dezeen Wire.
