Is there a color part to the challenge. I wasn't sure. Neat idea, btw.

Could you expand a bit in what you mean by Olympic theme?

This one is quite open to interpretation so anything that inspires you about the summer Olympic games: colours, shapes, particular sports, the torch, medals, the rings, the list is endless really. Research the Olympic games and see what inspires you!
