đŸŒ€ïž Barcelona ’92 Olympic Games – 1990 – Original Poster by AmĂ©rica SĂĄnchez COOB’92 skyward typographic play for the XXV Olympiad | Offset lithograph | 70 × 50 cm | Spain 🎬 Introduction A luminous Mediterranean sky becomes both stage and typography in AmĂ©rica SĂĄnchez’s lyrical pre-Games poster for Barcelona ’92. Photographic blues are punctuated by vertical cloud plumes, across which primary-colored letters drift to spell OLYMPIC GAMES. Slender black diver silhouettes arc and plunge through the atmosphere, animating the field like an aerial ballet. The composition balances crisp photography with playful, modular lettering—an unmistakable synthesis of late-20th-century Catalan graphic sensibilities and clear Olympic iconography. Produced within the COOB’92 visual program, the piece channels the city’s design-led transformation: welcoming, international, and forward-looking. Multilingual titling grounds the work in global reach, while the official production credit affirms its role in the early identity drive for the Games. ✹ Why It Matters Dated 1990—two years ahead of the event—this is an early, officially licensed statement of Barcelona’s Olympic brand, a pre-Games issue sought by collectors for its place at the outset of the campaign. SĂĄnchez’s witty fusion of toy-like chromatic type and athletic silhouettes creates a kinetic, optimistic image that resonates across Olympic memorabilia, Spanish graphic design, and typographic poster collecting. Its ties to COOB’92 and period partners (including TelefĂłnica) capture the corporate–civic synergy behind Barcelona’s cultural renaissance, making it a compelling artifact of the city’s most defining design moment. 📐 Poster Details - Year: 1990 (for the Barcelona 1992 Games) - Country: Spain - Size: 70 × 50 cm - Studio / Publisher: COOB’92 S.A.
