OLYMPIA and the Olympic Logo

Check styleframes and production gifs below. Inspired by the five interlocking rings that make up the olympic logo, the creatives have illustrated a series of athletes that match the colors and form of the Games’ signature symbol. 

Henrique Barone, Rafael Mayani and Conor Whelan, with music and sound by John Black  have hand-drawn ‘Olympia’ in a sketched style that illustrates each figure through simple geometries and singular colors. The five sports represented by the athletes include: hurdles; discus; javelin; high jump; and long jump. A sequence of animated gifs depict each colorful character using their ability in a particular sport to interact with one of the olympic rings — leaping through them, throwing them, and vaulting over them. process gifs show the production from simple sketch to developed figure, and finally a finished animation.
