Notes

The pictograms for the 2006 Games in Turin used the transparency of colours to create vivid and dynamic impressions, which gave the idea of the athletic movement of the Olympic sports, as well as a certain depth. They are sometimes compared to the work of the futuristic Italian artists of the 1930s.
