🏟️ Misha Bear (Moscow Olympics Mascot) – 1980 – Original Poster by Viktor Chizhikov | Spanish‑market Edition
Caixa d’Estalvis del Penedès promotional issue for the Games of the XXII Olympiad, Moscow
Offset lithograph | 61 × 41 cm | Spain (market; printed in Canada)
🎬 Introduction
A radiant, full‑bleed portrait of Misha—the smiling mascot of the Moscow 1980 Olympics—dominates the sheet. Soft, airbrushed browns and rosy gradients model the bear’s face and fur, punctuated by the iconic five‑ring belt. The concise “Moscow 1980” headline uses confident, modernist typography, leaving the character’s warmth and instant recognizability to carry the composition.
This is the Spanish‑market edition produced as a Caixa d’Estalvis del Penedès promotion using the official organizing committee artwork. The minimal copy and warm, textured palette are quintessential late‑1970s/1980 Olympic graphics, reproduced with crisp fidelity in offset lithography for a friendly, high‑impact display piece.
✨ Why It Matters
Misha, designed by Viktor Chizhikov, is among the most beloved Olympic mascots—an emblem of the Games’ soft‑power imagery and Soviet‑era character design. This Spanish‑market variant, tied to Caixa branding and printed by Litho Canada (Fones & Mann, Montreal), reflects the unusual international production channels surrounding a Soviet‑hosted Games. Such regional promotions surface less frequently than domestic USSR editions and hold crossover appeal: Olympic ephemera, Soviet/Cold War design, and mascot/illustration collecting. For design‑minded buyers, it’s a clean, emblematic artifact of late‑modern graphic culture with a clear provenance trail.
