Check out these awesome alternative Olympic rings by Italian artist Leonardo Dentico.

The Olympic rings are cool and everything but, let’s face it, not only could they do with a bit of updating but with all the build up to the London 2012 Olympic Games we aint half seen a lot of them and they’re becoming just a tad boring.

Which is why we love this effort from the graphic designer. With a backdrop of the Houses of Parliament the rings keep their traditional colours but are this time made out of things relevant to the games. We’re particularly loving the race track and the basketball court.
