Branding
The tournament logo was unveiled on 1st of March 2018 on the World Business Conference in Lozinetz. Later, it was also shown to the Romellenic citizens on a special TV program. The logo symbolizes a rose, the national flower of Romellea, painted in three shades of gold. Gold is the colour used on the flag of the country in combination with white. For text, very dark grey is used. In April 2018, the official font of the competition was unveiled. It was designed by the Romellenic specialist Genčo Parvanov.
Mascot
The official mascot for the tournament was unveiled 3 June 2018 and selected through a design competition among university students. A public vote was used to select from three finalists—a dog and a lion. The winner, with 76% of approximately 0,6 million votes, was Lôvčo—an anthropomorphic lion dressed in the colours of the Romellenic national team. The name Lôvčo ((/lʌvtʃo/) is derived from the Rumelic word for lion, lôv(/lʌv/), put in diminutive form.
