This story is about my design hero, Otl Aicher.


An early design “hero” of mine is German corporate identity and graphic designer Otl Aicher, who led a transformative influence on revitalizing Germany’s war-torn image with his work for the 1972 Munich Olympics. I deeply resonate with Aicher’s service-oriented approach to visual design.
