Striking poster for the Mexico-hosted 1968 Olympic Games. The design came from the collaboration of three artists: Pedro Ramirez Vazquez, architect and President of the Organising Committee for the Games, Eduardo Terrazas (MEX) and Lance Wyman (USA). It recalls the patterns of the Huichol, an Indigenous people of Mexico. It is considered iconic for its innovative use of Op-art kinetic typography. The bold, black-and-white linear pattern was applied across all official materials for the Games. The event was historically significant as the first modern Olympics held in Latin America and at a high altitude. Key moments included the "Black Power" salute by U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during a medal ceremony. (Sources: Olympics.com/ Google/ Wikipedia)
