Signs That The Olympics Are Near and What They Share With Artistic Signs

London 2012 Olympic Games

Friday July 27, 2012 is the official start to the London England Olympic Games.  In an earlier post it was mentioned that the London Olympic Games Design Font would be a trend for 2012.  Now that we have reached the beginning of this year’s games there are a few more items that should be noted when speaking about the upcoming Olympics.  Many of the ideas behind this year’s event are along the same lines as best practices for custom signs.

Design

The London Olympic build was custom designed with sustainability in mind.  Permanent venues were sites that were refurbished to accommodate the games.  Temporary venues were custom designed so that once removed there would be very little disruption to the area where they were constructed. Knowing what you want your design to accomplish is something the designers at The Sign Depot always have in mind

Be Memorable

Structure is one thing, but you need to be memorable as well. Art In The Park area near the Olympic Park will be noticeable to everyone attending the games.  This area will surely find it’s way into many pictures/tweets/status updates in what is deemed as the most “social” Olympics yet. Creating a buzz and being noticed will be things to watch for during the 2012 Olympic events.  Those will be the memories that will live on after the torch has been put out.

Make A Bold Statement

Being a Canadian company we definitely endorse this video! Finding ways to stand out from your competition is always the way to rise to the top.  Choosing unique and artistic ways to convey messages through signs is something we defintely have in common with the London 2012 Olympic Games.  Finding ways to be bold with sophisticated style is not and easy task but taking risks and stepping up to challenges are traits that we find commendable.

We even wonder if our post on Findabilty inspired the Canadian Olympic Team
