The typeface Olympukes (Olympics + puke = Olympukes) was born out of frustration with the pictograms designed for the modern Olympic Games. Existing symbols were fine for the Games’ events, but did not reflect the attendant skulduggery, manipulation and greed endemic to the business of the Olympiad. Enter Olympukes, a series of pictograms which takes on the ultimate designer’s commission and reflects the complex contradictions of the modern Olympics in a witty way.
