Logo
The games' logo is an abstract of a black grouse that symbolizes the wealth of khanti culture which resembles a hand of a man, the main device for communication of deaf and hard-of-hearing athletes and a bird. It consists of 4 colors which are red and orange that mean motion and energy and blue and violet that mean firmness and endurance. The ethnical ornament of khanti “hare’s ears” which is used in household items and clothes of khanti and mansi in the middle of the logo symbolizes motion. Overall, the logo represents host city, Khanty-Mansiysk as a confluence of two great rivers – Ob and Irtysh.[3]
Mascot
The games' mascot is a baby mammoth, a symbol of Russian north that represents beauty and strength of Siberia and is described to have kind eyes crystal clear like rivers and lakes of Ugra and open as Russian soul.[4] The name of the mascot was chosen as "Spartak" from an online voting process.[5][6]
