BelTA: The logo and mascot of the II CIS Games have been approved
Belarus has approved the logo and mascot of the II Commonwealth of Independent States Games, which the republic will host from August 3 to 15, 2023.
The relevant decision was made at a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of international sports competitions in Belarus, BelTA reports.
The logo reflects a number of elements characteristic of Belarus — an ornamental eight-pointed star that blooms into a bright cornflower, a symbol of hospitality and friendliness.
"The eight-pointed star has a great mythological depth, and the cornflower is one of the unofficial symbols of Belarus. In our dynamic stylization of the logo, the cornflower acts as a national flower," commented Vitaly Ostrovsky, head of the marketing Department of the NOC of Belarus.
The games will be held under the slogan "Strong character — a bright game!", which conveys the main goal of the competition in a succinct form.
An original Belarusian lynx named Rysia was chosen as the mascot of the games. It is he who has the characteristics that are ideal for a sports mascot — agility, speed and wit.
