Olympic Pictograms Inspired by Henri Matisse

The 2024 Summer Olympics are coming, and I am so excited. Something about an international event where everyone comes together always fascinates me. This year, the host country is France, and while their pictograms are based on coats of arms, I feel they lack clear distinction and do not easily explain what each sport is.

Here's my take on a few sports. My inspiration comes from the work of Henri Matisse. His collages and paintings in his later years are crisp, using bold colors and distinctive shapes. I feel they are a perfect style to emulate the Olympic pictograms. Thoughts? Should I do all 32 sports?

I really love them in just black and white too.
