Olympics Inspired Graphics Fun

Hat-trick's tiny Olympic Non-Events book which sees Otl Aicher-style icons created to illustrate various well known metaphorical phrases. Thus there is a sporty icon for such non-events as Jumping To Conclusions, Punching Above Your Weight and Swimming With Sharks.






As well as the book, hat-trick has set up a tumblr blog (screengrab, above) showing the icons included in the book and also inviting all and sundry to submit their own non-events to be potentially iconised and added to the site at olympic-non-events.tumblr.com. And just in case any of you were thinking of submitting it, Hat-Trick has already (rightly or wrongly) created an icon for Breast Stroking.
