Here I have found a piece of contemporary design referentially influenced by Egyptian Hieroglyphics. It is a poster for the London 2012 Olympic games using pictograms to represent all of the athletic events. Created by the organizing committee the pictograms are simplistic and easily depicted giving no need to typography. Pictograms that depicted objects or beings are what Hieroglyphs consisted of, they can be found in everyday life to represent or convey resemblance to a physical object. http://www.allposters.co.uk/-sp/London-2012-Olympics-Pictograms-Posters_i7347678_.htm
