About this poster

In Walter Herdeg’s photomontage for St. Moritz, a cheerful woman waxes her skis, watched by the friendly St. Moritz sun. The bright colour scheme is as characteristic as the sun design itself. This motif is the recurring hallmark of Herdeg’s St. Moritz posters and was registered with the Swiss Federal Agency for Intellectual Property, making it one of the earliest applications of corporate identity to a travel destination. Even in small format, this vintage poster for St. Moritz brings a charming touch of nostalgia.
