Story Highlights

With various sports taking place at different venues across an expansive city, developing a cohesive graphics package for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was critical. Coming off of the postponed 2020 Tokyo Summer Games six months prior, the turnaround time to come up with something that was aesthetically pleasing and functional was the biggest challenge. The herculean effort was recognized with the 2023 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Graphic Design Event/Show.

At the ceremony, NBC Sports' Vice President, Creative, David Barton, dissects how winning this award validates the work of the entire graphics team and ran through the list of notable colleagues that contributed to the project.

Those credited on the project included:

Senior Graphic Designers

David Barton, Wade Echer, Chad Hudson, Mark Levy, David Melfi

Graphic Designers

Bianca Beck, Stephen Belmont, Jonathan Berry, Alex Boccard, Ian Bonilla, Eric Brown, Christopher Brown, Selena Cohen, Robert Cordle, James Coulson, Terry Daily, Joshua Davis, Kenneth Dayhoff, J.marty Dormany, Christie Grams, Shawn Hendrickson, Michael Kerner, Catherine Krebs, Jennifer Lorentz, Random Luttrell, Raymond Martinez, Christian Odar, David Robbins, Jeffrey Smalls, Bridget Smith, Ann Adele Smith, Tyler Stocker, Mark Stroming, Stefanie Toigo, Jessica Torrico, Daniel Velez, Vincent Velez, Masahiro Wakabayashi, Nanzi Wang, Bradley Wasilition, Kristy Weir, Emma Wiatrzyk, Noah Woode, Tim Woulle, Chung Wu, Anna Zavorina
