Description:
The 1992 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXV Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event celebrated in Barcelona, Spain, in 1992. The International Olympic Committee voted in 1986 to separate the Summer and Winter Games, which had been held in the same year since 1924, and place them in alternating even-numbered years, beginning in 1994. The 1992 Summer Games were the last to be staged in the same year as the Winter Games.

Collectible Original MASCOT COBI
ALUMINUM by Javier Marisca
JAVIER MARISCAL
Born in Valencia in 1950, Javier Mariscal studied graphic arts in a Barcelona design school in 1970 and started creating characters two years later. His first comic strip publication, El Rrollo Enmascarado, was censored by Franco's government in 1973. Disappointed, he took a break from creating and took advantage of this time to travel, before returning in 1978 with Gran Hotel, an exhibit that helped him gain recognition.
Mariscal started hanging out with interior design celebrities such as Fernando Salas. His orders from customers increased in the 1980s and saw him making furniture and objects for luxury hotels, restaurants and stores in metropolitan Europe. In 1988, he was chosen by the Olympic committee to design the mascot for the upcoming 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. By creating the Cobi character, he came full circle with his first years of graphic design and became known to an international audience, including children. The little dog, featured in a variety of formats and adapted to all sorts of objects, remains one of the best marketing ideas in the history of the Olympic Game mascots.
