The first European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) was held in 1991 under the name of the European Youth Olympic Days. The idea was launched by Jacques Rogge, at the time the President of the European Olympic Committees (EOC), and today's President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Rogge's idea was supported by the EOC, and in 1991 Brussels was the first to host the potential Olympians in summer sports (athletics, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, swimming, table tennis, football, hockey, judo).
Two years later the EYOF Winter was also held, and since then the event has taken place both in summer and winter sports every two (odd) years.

Official EYOF mascot

By the complementary colours and forms of these elements, while being gently ascended and spread out, the shared rhythm is reinforced and synchronously expressed.
The forms and colours of logotype elements and the way they are grouped play the supporting role, in so far as they highlight the message communicated by the emblem itself.
