"Fileteado Porteño"

Fileteado is a type of artistic drawing, with srylised lines and flowered, climbing plants typically used in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is used to adorn all kind of beloved objects, taxis, lorries and even the old "colectivos," Buenos Aires's buses.
Filetes (the lines in Fileteado style) are usually full of colored ornaments and symmetries completed with poetic phrases, saying and aphorisms, both humorous or roguish, emotional or philosophical. They have been part od the culture of the Porteños (inhabitants of Buenos Aires) since the beginnings of the 20th century. 
From Wikipedia.

This style is the style that I want to represent in my logo design for the Olympics... that is why it may look a little feminine or adorned... It's very popular and you see it quite often in the streets of Buenos Aires

The top row are the old ones I post earlier... I still need to incorporate the rings... Some feedback anyone?
