Another summer Olympic games will start today, this time taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There’s always an excitement behind any Olympic games, from the announcement of the logo and identity, to the mascot a few years prior. The opening ceremony is probably one of the highlights of the show, it’s always kept in secret what will be shown. We here at Abduzeedo are getting into the spirit and looking forward to 17 days of sports and of course Olympic related posts. The OLYMPIA one from Behance had to be the first because it’s just beautiful.

OLYMPIA is an homage to the Games and especially the athletes and their amazing moves. I love how stylish the animation is, there’s a lot of dynamic and everything feels super fluid. The project was done by Henrique Barone, Rafael Mayani and Conor Whelan from Vancouver, Canada and CypherAudio from Toronto, Canada.
