The name of such a tune, please?

Dear All,

Events, for example the whole of Olympic Games can have a main tune, a sort of musical counterpart of their logo, but I don't know with which word we can refer to such a melody. Please, would you be so kind as to help me with this? Emotion: embarrassed Thank you very much.
