I just think the blood drops should look less like circles compunded withe trinagle shapes and more like drwan shapes…

Hi! I used circles in order to make the connection to the Olympic rings, which are perfect circles, clear...and actually, the top of the drops are not triangles, but made with lines I drew...but it’s true, perhaps the drops aren’t very clear: a friend mentioned to me that they look kind of like raindrops…
Which got me thinking that I should have made the bottom of the temple morph into a kind of pool of blood?...but then maybe this would get too gory…

either rain drops or blood drops look the same stylized 
I’m thinking of a cross-breed idea, if I can make it into a t-shirt we’ll call it a collab

I’m leaving it as is...I like it this way, that’s why I designed it....

You misunderstood me, what I said is if I am able to transform an idea I had from this I’ll share the credits with you LOL
But design is not about the author linking it’s about conveying messages that can be understood. If you want to do what you like then call it art or illustration

About My Design:
I think it is scandalous that the Olympics, which are supposed to represent a peaceful manifestation of energy, by way of Olympic games (as apposed to war) are being allowed to take place in a country which is now making a farce of human rights, to the point of killing the people who are demonstrating to gain the liberty to simply live and worship as they please. I have thus changed the Olympic rings into drops of blood, and the written message of course is an ironic allusion to the fact that few countries, if any, are willing to give up their mercenary gains in order to protest in favor of the Tibetans.
