Dream Project of My Career

I just watched some On Demand programs promoting the Summer Olympics next month, and I was reminded of how much I am infatuated with the Olympics and the ideals and the visual branding campaigns that they’ve had (yes, including the London 2012 campaign by Wolff Olins).

I have long since dreamed to be a part of an Olympic Games visual branding team, preferably where the host city is in the States (although anywhere is totally fine with me; that way I get to take on the challenge and learn about other cultures). The Chicago 2016 campaign is too soon, and it seems like they've got it covered already, although they had to redesign their bid logo. So hopefully, 2024 or 2028, since 2020 is probably still too soon in my career.

Flush.

nice, my friend's brother actually worked at a design company, and they got to work on the logos for one of the recent past Olympics. Theirs was not chosen though.

That’s cool. Yeah, it’s such an honor (for me at least) to work for the design team for the Olympics, especially when that candidate city wins the bid. There must be an intense international pressure to do well and it’s an overwhelming challenge, but in a good and eye-opening way.
