Kommando Otl Aicher<\/strong><\/p>\n When graphic designer Otl Aicher was nominated as main commissioner for the public image of the XX. Olympic project in Munich, this was no coincidence. At this time he was directing the HfG Ulm design school. In one of its first meetings, the Olympic Committee’s design council decided that the communicated image should be “dynamic, unpathetic and free from ideology”.

Any association with a nationalist or military image should be avoided. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –<\/p>\n Jan van Eyck Academie – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –<\/p>\n See – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Tuesday, the 25th of april 2006, 14:00, at the Jan van Eyck Academie.
