Doesn't this look a lot like a jock strap?

In reality, it's the recently unveiled logo for the 2016 Summer Olympics (http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/news/story?id=5976541).

QuoteRIO DE JANEIRO -- The logo for the 2016 Olympics in Rio was unveiled Friday before more than 1 million New Year's revelers on Copacabana beach just before midnight.

The flowing symbol resembles three figures -- orange, green and blue -- embraced at the arms and in a flowing dance.

"The logo for Rio's 2016 Games conveys passion and transformation. The passion of all Cariocas and Brazilians for sport and celebration," said Carlos Nuzman, president of the Rio Olympic organizing committee, "Carioca" being a nickname for Rio's citizens. "And the transformation that the Games are already bringing to Rio and to Brazil."

Olympic organizers have said the Rio 2016 brand was created to reflect the city's culture and represent its natural wonders and joyful residents. Organizers said the logo was based on four pillars: contagious energy, harmonious diversity, exuberant nature and Olympic spirit.

I guess it's kind of fitting for an Olympic symbol then.

It does quite a bit, either that or a screwed up hourglass.

Being Rio, it COULD be a thong.

I think it looks like an orange guy with a scythe on his left foot kicking a green guy in the balls with his right foot.  Or a jock strap.

Interesting design, whatever it is...maybe a new design for the Rorschack test?
