The Sochi Winter Olympics officially began on February 6th, 2014, but the controversy surrounding these Olympics began much earlier. The slogan featured on the Sochi Olympic poster, “Hot.Cool.Yours.”, got us thinking… how does the art/branding from the Sochi Winter Olympics compare to the past. The Art of the Winter Olympics timeline displays the posters from each of the past Winter Olympics. It is interesting to see how design trends have changed.
