Theme Artwork
'FUSION OF HEARTBEATS'
Taking inspiration from the combined colours of the Ukrainian and UK Flags, is a joint design collaboration between Ukrainian Starlight Creative and Superunion Agency UK.
Olena Martynova (CEO, Starlight Creative) says:
Creativity and music both have the power to unite and inspire. We are so proud to be part of the creative concept for such an important musical event when more than ever, we need to come together as a global community. For Starlight, it is an opportunity to represent Ukraine on an international stage, showcase our creative and musical ability, and create something that honours our strength and the power of unity.
Stuart Radford (Superunion’s Executive Creative Director) & Creative Director Katherina Tudball says:
We are thrilled to create the 67th Eurovision Song Contest visual identity in partnership with Ukrainian agency, Starlight, and the BBC. For this year’s theme, United By Music, our solution was inspired by research showing that when experiencing live music together, human hearts synchronise to beat in unison. This insight led to the creative concept of 160 million hearts beating as one, an idea that captures the universal spirit of Eurovision.
(The global audience for Eurovision last year was 160 Million)
As quoted in the official EBU Eurovision site
“The colourful ECG (electrocardiogram) effect produces a string of hearts, each one responsive to rhythm and sound, to illustrate the collective beating heart of all Eurovision contestants and viewers alike.
We are all ‘United by Music’."
The typeface used is called ‘Penny Lane’, inspired by the twentieth-century cast-iron signs displaying Liverpool street names and a nod to the city’s rich musical heritage.”
