When great events are taking place, most of us are elsewhere. Whether it’s the October Revolution or the funeral of the Princess of Wales, most people find themselves buttering a slice of toast or emptying the dustbin. So what will you be doing when the London 2012 Olympics rolls around?

Hat-trick Design have released a series of witty and practical icons to celebrate the various Olympic non-events which will be running simultaneously alongside the main competitions. The alternative Olympic programme is set to enliven our offices and homes throughout the year.
