Design until 1974

At the top is the lettering ''Dynamo sports'' and a box with the comment: "You read today". There are always 4 boxes, which have numbers of certain pages and to highlight the ever changing themes. The number of pages is limited to 8, on thin, rough paper. Color is red and white for the highlights of the logo "Dynamo sports" and black-red or blue-black for emphasis.

Or there are vertically juxtaposed joists that form this close to a cross a line. At the time this newspaper was printed in the East, just three television programs and a handful of radio stations existed; there was no Internet or mass media. ''Dynamo sport'' was an ideal medium for the Ministry of the Interior of the GDR, but this does not necessarily mean that important information was printed in a sports newspaper. Authors were not at all mentioned. Athletes were interviewed at most and rarely had the opportunity to write a new column. Often there inside are only reports.
