All volunteers were dressed in the same uniform, marked with the logos of the competition.http://eyowf2013.ro/volunteers EYOWF 2013 EYOWF 2013 Volunteers Department 19 February 2013 Marketing Logo The logo was designed in the shape of a snowflake in the five Olympic colors. The main idea behind it was that each snowflake is different from another, and while they are so fragile independently, they become together, similarly to how each athlete has their own strengths and qualities, and how team spirit makes them even greater.http://eyowf2013.ro/about-eyowf/eyowf-2013-logo-and-mascot EYOWF 2013 EYOWF 2013 Logo and Mascot 18 February 2013 thumb|Martin, the Carpathian Brown Bear, was official mascot of the competition Mascot The Carpathian Brown Bear Martin was the official mascot of the festival.
