Digital Edition – 1980 Moscow Olympics Poster – B. Gyurkovich (Hungary) – Olympic Rings World Map Design

A high-resolution digital edition of a stunning modernist 1980 Moscow Olympics poster — designed by Hungarian artist B. Gyurkovich and published by Plakat Publishing House, Moscow. Download instantly and print at your preferred size and paper stock.

The design is a bold, geometric reimagining of the Olympic rings: five colourful 3D discs, each containing a stylised map of one of the world’s continents, rendered in a clean “cut-out” aesthetic with a deep purple, bright orange, and yellow palette that remains remarkably vivid. A unique collaboration between a Hungarian designer and the Soviet state — and one of the more visually inventive pieces from the Moscow Games series.

The bottom margin preserves the original Soviet printing plate information, including the artist’s name, editors S. Ilyina and A. Kolomeitsev, and the 1980 publication date.
