This Eurovision 2017 slogan and logo video will make you fall in love with Ukraine’s concept

  • Posted on February 3, 2017August 14, 2018
  • byWilliam Lee Adams
Eurovision 2017 slogan logo celebrate diversity

Croissants, sausages, Chinese anal beads, Yulia Tymoshenko’s hair plait — in recent days Eurovision fans have said the Eurovision 2017 logo looks like any manner of things. In reality it is a namysto — a traditional Ukrainian necklace that represents protection, beauty and health, with each bead on the necklace having a unique design. It beautifully captures the theme of this year’s contest — “Celebrate Diversity” — while nodding to Ukrainian culture.

If that explanation doesn’t sell you on the logo and theme, then surely this brand video will. Produced by the Ukrainian creative agencies banda.agency and Republique, the video explains their motivations behind the logo in simple and powerful terms.

It also shows how the logo works in any number of guises — whether on the side of a bus or on a pencil or as the motif for an umbrella. The umbrellas are so gorgeous we seriously hope it rains every day!

“A traditional Ukrainian necklace in a modern interpretation is the symbol for this year’s song contest,” the video explains.

“Many different beads and many different characters come together to celebrate diversity and have a great time.”

We hope it rains at #eurovision so we can use these fabulous umbrellas! The beads of the #eurovision logo work well in a variety of guises, from buses to stamps to the umbrellas above. Based on these renderings, it's looking good, Ukraine! #eurovision2017 #ESC2017 #celebratediversity

A post shared by wiwibloggs (@wiwibloggs) on Feb 3, 2017 at 2:57am PST

“It was important for us to create a playful platform that speaks to all kinds of audiences.”

“Simple, and easily recognizable, all around the world.”

“With a little bit of imagination the beads have a lot more to offer.”

The beads of the #eurovision logo work well in a variety of guises, from buses to stamps to umbrellas. Based on these renderings, it's looking good, Ukraine! #eurovision2017 #ESC2017 #celebratediversity

A post shared by wiwibloggs (@wiwibloggs) on Feb 3, 2017 at 2:55am PST

We don’t know about you, but we are 100% feeling this. The motifs they’ve created look modern and cool and tie in with the theme so perfectly. It makes us want to celebrate diversity not just among people, but also within Ukrainian design!

If I was helpful is great, I had the impression that you like only positive comments.
All countries are happy to host, I’m sure of that.
What I know is what I saw on tv, things that the embassy will never tell because is not polite : tourists are targets for people that don’t want to be violent, but try to find a way to take advantage (anywhere in the world).

@ Purple Mask
It seems that you keep asking until you have the answer that you like.
Maybe is not a danger of physical attack, but you must take care of your money, phone, and anything that might attract pickpockets. You should do that anywhere you go or live, and I am not sarcastic. The desire to feel safe should not become naivety.

an esc fan I’m describing all possible ways if person needs any kid of defence. short knife bought in any local shop would be good weapon to stab your attacker in the leg and run. sprays and shockers also available but it’s kinda girls thing. still I see no reason why any normal person would need it during stay in Kyiv. at the venue, at the hotel, at any local club, on the main streets of city there’s cops and own security guards. if someone feels insecure to spend time in area near cops or guards then I’m afraid there’s… Read more »

Purple Mask Kyivans are pretty excited about hosting Eurovision and we all want the guests to have the best experience here. Everyone here is really worried that our city won’t look at its best come May, and we keep scolding our authorities about not enough preparations being made so far (at least it looks like that). So yes, we’re very happy to welcome the Eurovision audience. Kyiv is no stranger to tourists and people of different races, I think you won’t be annoyed by excessive attention or astonished gazing. If you’re worried about crime, well, there has been a surge… Read more »

@Oxana: I do like your sense of humour. 🙂 Actually I have access to a lot of research and reports about Kyiv and Ukraine – what I was asking was for a personal perspective from the people who live there. (Because one can’t get a personal perspective from reports and statistics). Are the residents of Kyiv happy to welcome the Eurovision audience, or will there be a violent backlash against it? I know you personally have already answered this question, so thank you for that. Is there anyone else from Kyiv or nearby in Ukraine that has a personal perspective?… Read more »

You are Ukranian, there is no doubt, but you scare esc fans.
We can’t travel with a knife, maybe a little knife (like those for picknicks) should be part of the merchandise, to put it at the keychain.
Anyway, I think that as long as is not about physical violence, tourists must be wise too.
Apart …… from that, please youtubers that want to record, don’t show the stage, I don’t care to see the stage from every angle, show the green room. The Green room is the main attraction that can’t be seen on tv.

The ‘merchandise’ is the coolest I have seen yet! I do hope it is official, if not please Kyiv, go with it! What about the necklaces themselves? Will they go on sale as well? Any date about the merchandise going on sale? BTW best slogan ever since its conception in 2002!

Purple Mask why don’t you do some research in official reports to see if many tourists has been robbed/killed or abused in any way in Kyiv? what kind of safety do you expect to see? no one will guarantee you safety on deserted road at 2am so take a knife with you if you have guts to stab someone and run. otherwise in city during the day your perfectly safe. in taxi at night, or in club at night, at the hotel you’re safe. if you’re in doubt then just stay home. because if you will be scared about your… Read more »

I don’t know Ukraine like a local knows it, but I guess nobody can say it is 100% safety anywhere.
Just don’t give your phone to anyone who says that has an emergency to make a phone call (might run away with your phone), don’t buy from anyone who sells you something on the street, without touching yourself that object every second (might change the object), keep your money inside your jacket, not in the jeans pockets, …
They usually think that western tourists are very naive.

I like the beads idea and see what interesting art concepts they might create out of it. My only slight concern is the red-on-navy-blue colour pattern which is difficult for eyes. But with other colour patterns it will hopefully be more appealing

@Gros Matou: See, that is very annoying. In a previous thread I had directly asked people on this blog about two concerns about the event in Kiev, one of which was accommodation and the other was security. I received some positive feedback from Ukrainians. Now your comment has just contradicted what I have been told.
I would please like more information. Thank you.

At first I thought that the logo would either cause epilepsy or be deemed too bland, I now figured out that the colors used in it are also the colors of Wiwibloggs.

@Gobio I didn’t notice until I read your comment. It’s true that in the video the logo seems more pink and black than red and black!

I love this logo and the whole branding of the contest.

A lot of the previous logos didn’t really fit for March and it was usually just the symbol on a black background.

This has to be my favorite logo, theme and branding ever.

I want all of the items 🙂

Congratulations Ukraine.
