INSPIRATION
The Olympic medal is such an iconic motif used for design inspiration, but I wondered what could be a unique pov on Olympic iconography.
The Tokyo Olympics highlighted an often overlooked element of Olympic iconography-the Olympic bouquet.
2020 Beijing Olympics also highlighted a unique story through their knitted bouquet.
This tradition dated back to earliest Olympics and the iconography which predated medals—the Olympic wreath.
