The tagline of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games - seen throughout Sochi - was 'Hot. Cool. Yours.'
But there has been another slogan on display here.
Located on the side of the new Formula 1 grandstand, currently being built near the Olympic Park, the phrase 'Russia - Great, New, Open' provides a better insight into how President Vladimir Putin wants the world to perceive his country now.
But with the final medals awarded, and the Olympic flame extinguished, has Russia achieved what it set out to do? Were the first Olympic Games to be staged in the country since 1980 a success?
And what are the wider implications for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as it now turns its attention to future Games?

Host nation Russia finished on top of the medal table as the 22nd Winter Olympics came to a close in Sochi on Sunday after 17 days of competition.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach officially closed the Games during an extravagant 130-minute ceremony.
South Korea were given the Olympic flag as Pyeongchang hosts the 2018 Games.
Britain equalled their best Winter Olympics performance with one gold, one silver and two bronze medals.
The build-up to the Games was overshadowed by concerns over the threat of a terrorist attack and the impact of protests against Russian anti-gay legislation.
But Bach said Russia and the Black Sea resort city of Sochi had 'delivered all that it promised' and risen above the concerns to deliver an impressive Olympics.
'These were excellent Games that may lead to the reversal of some criticism of the Russian organisers that preceded the Olympics,' he said.
Bach used his speech at the closing ceremony in the Fisht Stadium to emphasise Olympic values.
'By living together under one roof in the Olympic Village you send a powerful message from Sochi to the world, that of a society of peace, tolerance and respect,' he said.
'I appeal to everybody implicated in confrontation, oppression and violence to act on this Olympic message of dialogue and peace.'
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who watched the ceremony from the stands and

Slovenia's Tina Maze won her second Sochi Olympic title with victory in the women's giant slalom.
Maze, 30, who shared downhill gold with Dominique Gisin earlier in the programme, led by 0.52 seconds after the first run.
She was as solid in the second run, winning by 0.07 seconds in 2:36.87.
Super-G champion Anna Fenninger of Austria claimed her second medal with silver while German defending champion Viktoria Rebensburg won bronze.
Celebrated violinist Vanessa-Mae, competing for Thailand as Vanessa Vanakorn, was the 67th and last finisher on her Olympic debut with a time of 3:26.97 - 50 seconds behind Maze.
The Slovenian, who won silver in giant slalom and super-G in Vancouver four years ago, led Sweden's Jessica Lindell-Vikarby after run one and held on despite only posting the 11th fastest time in the second descent.
She celebrated by belly-flopping onto the wet snow and pretending to swim the breaststroke.
'I have dreamed about a day like this, even though it is raining,' she said. 'I feel proud, I think I will realise what I have done many years later.'
Maze is the oldest Olympic women's giant slalom champion and the second female to do the downhill-giant slalom double at a Games after Switzerland's Marie-Therese Nadig in Sapporo in 1972.
American Julia Mancuso, who won bronze in the combined event, crashed out on the first run, while Germany's double Sochi me
