Very sad to miss all my friends @nprofile1q... this year, but with starting my masters at Reading, the timing just didn’t work out.

I’ll miss hanging out in front of the Cooper Union the most. 😢

@nprofile1q... Right?! Though, my restoration will not be this extensive. I just want the poster rips to be fixed and the tape residue on the right side to be removed and then it all permanently adhered to acid-free backing paper so I can then get it framed.

There are a few cracks in the blocks of color, but I don't need them to be filled in with color, I like the "real" feel of the poster.

@nprofile1q... One of my favorite types of YouTube videos to watch! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/28eUwJg4JA0

@nprofile1q... Glad you enjoyed it.

@nprofile1q... Yep, 100% the same when I saw the poster for the first time several years ago. My thought was, "Wow, that looks like Vignelli, but I've never seen that before … wait, DENVER 76?! There were never any DENVER Olympics…"

@nprofile1q... Nice!

@nprofile1q... Which, of course, Massimo Vignelli is the most famous of the founders of Unimark, but there is zero proof that he had anything to do with the Denver 76 designs.

@nprofile1q... Designed by Unimark International (but not Massimo Vignelli himself)

And again: Didn’t know about the 1976 Denver Winter Olympics? Well, they never actually happened: https://realdougwilson.com/writing/denver-76-part-one-the-story

@nprofile1q... They actually found me due to my blog posts and wanted to learn more about the value. I convinced them to sell it to me *before* they tried to do their own restoration and framing. 😬
