I'm exited. I love the Olympic Games, summer and winter likewise.

So I wanted to see how the logo designs evolved from the very first Winter Games over the years.

The designs appear to have changed from monochromatic colors and design to multicolor ones.
The logo design seem to take on the trend to simpler and cleaner colors and shapes. Take a look at the logos from Winter Olympic Games 1924 till 2010.
