I found this poster from the 1972 Olympic games in Munich at my university.
Does anyone know what this imagery signifies? They don't seem to be the the colors from the Olympic rings.

Ultimately you’d have to ask the artist (and get a time machine) but according to Victoria and Albert Museum:
> Munich 1972 Poster from Edition Olympia 1972, third series Max Bill was a Swiss architect, designer, painter and sculptor who engaged with modern science and mathematics. This design might be read simply as a colourful pattern, but it also interprets the scientific concept that all colours meet together to make light (seen at the centre of the image), giving it a deeper meaning.
Also: it was the 70s
