The new becomes old quickly, especially in Los Angeles. It has been only twenty-six years since the City of Angels hosted the 1984 Olympics, but the celebrated and successful event is now just a memory. However, the famous Stars in Motion logo, by the late designer Robert Miles Runyan, 
can still be seen on benches scattered around Exposition Park, the site of the opening and closing ceremonies as well as for the track and field events. Displaying the ‘speed graphics’ style that was popular for corporate and event logos, the patriotic symbol was the center point of one of the most influential signage and graphics programs of its day.
