All major events organised by the EOC, including both the European Games and the European Youth Olympic Festival, will use the logo.

In the build-up to releasing the logo and the EOC’s “new look”, the organisation are releasing a commemorative mosaic of images from Baku 2015 across their social networks.

It is claimed that the mosaic captures the “passion and excitement” of the Games, which took place from June 12 to 28 and featured representatives from all 50 European National Olympic Committees.

“Baku 2015 was a landmark moment in European sport, it featured first-class athletes, with both world and Olympic champions competing, in a fascinating, thriving and young European capital,” said Patrick Hickey, EOC President.

“Baku 2015 has given the European Games concept a superb lift off, setting it up well for a second edition in 2019 and further editions in 2023 and beyond.

“It also provided European athletes with a perfect springboard for their preparations for this Olympic year.

“We are always looking to the future and part of that involves establishing a new logo and look for the EOC.

“This beautiful mosaic design commemorating Baku will feature strongly in that logo, which will reflect key European cultural influences past and present.”

Baku 2015, which saw 5,864 athletes compete across 20 sports, was not without its critics as the build-up to the Games was overshadowed by protests about Azerbaijan's human rights record and its relationship with Armenia.

Prior to the start of the Games, The Netherlands withdrew as hosts of the 2019 edition, having been the EOC’s original choice.

Hickey stated last November that Russia was the preferred option to host the second edition of the Games, but claimed the EOC would be guided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), following claims that the country were involved in systematic doping.

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko claimed last month that the country was too busy to host to any more events until 2020 following the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but Hickey has insisted they have an agreement with the Russian Olympic Committee.
