a sketch for latin america brand contest
I thought Olympics as well, mostly because of the colors or the "ribbons," which are, if not identical, very similar to ones in the Olympic rings. People can't really give a very good critique unless they have more context, like what is this logo for? Where will it be used? Also, I think you'll find a lot of resistance here for no other reason than this is for a design contest. The vast majority of users here (myself included) do not approve of commercial design contests. Troll a bit and you're sure to find several threads which will explain that position more fully.
It's really hard to critique a logo without context. Is this a business? An event? An organization? What are the objectives? Granted, if this is a contest, those things are usually missing and, as such, are one of many reasons why contests are usually a bad idea.
At the moment, we can only judge aesthetics.
Looking at the letter forms, I'm seeing inconsistency in stroke weight. Compare your strokes in the 't' with the 'a'.
To me this looks like a close relative of the Chicago typeface of Mac OS fame. Too computer-ish and perhaps scifi-ish.
I think I understand where you are coming from with the reference but I'm not sure how much of it comes through in what you have posted! I agree with the others that the aesthetic seems more like Chicago.
You may have seen this post which might point you in the direction of some more influences, Lance Wyman perhaps.
