Is this too close?

Can anyone figure out what country and/or event that Visions is trying to create a link to? "Rushin" and "Socheap" might give a slight hint. The mock Cyrillic typeface could be a bit of a giveaway. But the guy in the red hockey helmet makes it pretty clear.

But while the International Olympic Committee comes down pretty hard of people who try to use the Olympic names and symbols to promote their goods or services, this is probably safe. Close enough to get people's attention, but far enough away that Visions can avoid a lawsuit. It is a fine line, and Visions seems to managed to balance on it.
