As the 2010 Winter Olympics draw to a close, I can’t help but reminisce about all the lovely, Olympic inspired designs I’ve stumbled across recently. Among my favorites are those in this collection of designs that whimsically parallel the spirit of the games in the form of print assets, television spots and throwback posters.

While poking around designerfix.com, I also found this list of wonderful Google Olympic logos from past to present. The latest are definitely the greatest.

And even though the logo for the 2012 games looks like something the 80′s threw up (sorry London, it’s hideous), I’m still looking forward to seeing what other goodness designers piece together to celebrate the world of Olympic sports.
