Ever since the first Games of the modern era in Athens in 1896, posters have played an important part in the popularisation of the Olympics. They have also served, once every four years, to identify both the host city and a particular aesthetic linked to the global image of the Games of that year. Bearing this history in mind, COOB'92 developed a highly ambitious project, which involved 58 different posters grouped in four collections: shops the official Olympic posters, the painters' posters, the designers' posters and the photographic sports posters.

For the four official sports posters (the work of Josep M. Trias, Javier Mariscal, Enric Satué and Antoni Tàpies) and the eight painters' posters (by Êduardo Arroyo, Antoni Clave, Eduardo Chillida, Jean-Michel Folon, Josep Guinovart, Robert Llimós, Guillermo Pérez Villalta and Antonio Saura), in addition to the normal print run there was a limited edition in silk-screen and lithograph signed by the authors, which COOB'92 used as prestige gifts for the VIPs who visited Barcelona.
