In 1984, Los Angeles was the host city for the Summer Olympic Games. At that time, Robert Miles Runyan had been in business for well over 20 years and was a world-renowned graphic artist and designer.

After 3500 submitted drawings and countless hours of research from many companies, Runyan's logo "Stars in Motion" was conceived and incorporated with the Olympic Rings to designate the 1984 Summer Olympics.
