Cakir, the games' official mascot.

The logo of the games is a combination of the elements of The Olympic Games, the Olympic flame, deaf communication, Samsun Pheasant Bird, Turkish Tulip, Peace and Friendship.[11]

The official mascot of the 2017 Summer Deaflympics was unveiled on June 13, 2017. It represents a local male resident wearing regional outfit. The name of the mascot was chosen as "Çakır" (literally "greyish blue") following a voting on the official website of the Deaflympics.[12][13]

The Olympic torch was brought from Lausanne, Switzerland to Batı Park in Samsun by the Turkish Olympic champion in wrestling, Taha Akgül. The torch relay began with lighting of the torches of the Turkish sportspeople as "Olympic ambassadors", the footballers Gökhan Gönül and Sabri Sarıoğlu, world-record holder female diver Şahika Ercümen and media presenter and sportswoman Ece Vahapoğlu. Led by the Minister of Youth and Sports Akif Çağatay Kılıç, they marched to the Mustafa Dağıstanlı Sports Hall, where the torch was handed over to the mayor of the Samsun Metropolitan Municipality, Yusuf Ziya Yılmaz.[14]

This is currently based on the schedule released by the official website of the Games.[15]

This is the table of the medal count of the 2017 Summer Deaflympics, based on the medal count of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). These rankings sort by the number of gold medals, earned by a National Olympic Committee (NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC Country Code. Although this information is provided by the IOC, the IOC itself does not recognize or endorse any ranking system.

Final medal table:[16][17][18]
