The summit is a key moment in which NATO makes decisions that are important to our peace and security, especially in these turbulent times, with Russia waging a large-scale war on the European continent following its illegal invasion of Ukraine.</p><h2>NATO Summit 2025 logo</h2> <p>Each NATO Summit has its own logo. The logo designed for the 2025 Summit reflects the strength of cooperation within NATO, and its adaptability in times of flux. The stylised blades of a wind turbine, combined with the Dutch coastline, visually represents movement in the logo. The logo will be used in communications about the Summit and will be on display in The Hague before and during the event.</p><div class="block-audio-video block"> <video playsinline data-playtxt="Play" title="Animation logo NATO Summit 2025" data-pauzetxt="Pause" data-enablead="Audio description on" data-disablead="Audio description off" data-enablevolume="Sound on" data-disablevolume="Sound off" data-enablecc="Subtitles (CC) on" data-disablecc="Subtitles (CC) off" data-enablefullscreen="Full screen" data-disablefullscreen="Exit full screen" data-poster="//www.rovid.nl/bz/dco/2024/bz-dco-20241107-iddko9ar9-still-middel.jpg" poster="//www.rovid.nl/bz/dco/2024/bz-dco-20241107-iddko9ar9-still-middel.jpg" data-noplugintxt="Unfortunately, this video can not be played.
