This image got rejected for copyright infrigement. Don't really understand why. Maybe it's the font? And if not - then what?

I think it may be the word 'Olympic' which is the problem. Change it to 'Games' and you shouldn't have a problem.

Correct, it's the word "Olympic". The Olympic Committee protects their trademarks viciously.
