Beckminster Methodist Church, Wolverhampton

A rather topical entry here, with an Olympic themed poster - it was actually on display during the games, but I didn't have time to get it photographed and posted as I was too busy watching them.  However, now that they are over let's get back to the poster.

Nice classic poster design, with some white shadowing on the letters adding depth, some nice alliteration drawing the whole slogan together and a common mis-drawing of the Olympic rings, turning them into a sort of complicated Venn diagram, which may just be enthusiastic ignorance, or it may be a cunning plan to avoid falling foul of the draconian Olympic copyright laws that saw so many shopkeepers threatened with prosecution...

I can only presume that the race referred to in the poster is a metaphorical one, as the only straight race in the Olympics is the 100m sprint as all the others are at least slightly curvy.
