From dazzling diamonds to beating hearts to burning flames, Eurovision organisers know how to dream up a logo.
Some months back, we asked you to vote for your favourite Eurovision logo of the 2010s. And now the results are in!
After counting a total of 2,805 votes, we can confirm that Eurovision 2019’s star is your favourite Eurovision logo of the 2010s.
Eurovision 2019’s star is your favourite Eurovision logo of the 2010s
The last Eurovision of the 2010s took place in Tel Aviv, Israel. The logo consisted of layered triangles designed to resemble a star, reflecting “the stars of the future” coming to Tel Aviv. It suited the contest’s slogan, “Dare to Dream”.
The geometric creation received 498 votes or 17.75% of all votes cast.
In second place is the dandelion clock from 2016.
The Stockholm logo depicted a variety of sparkling seeds, which combined into one glittering seed head. According to the powers that be, the logo can be interpreted “in different ways, and we liked the idea to start from a dandelion. Most people can relate to it. It has an enormous growth potential; it is widespread across Europe and it can move’’.
The flora-inspired logo attracted 387 votes or 13.8% of all votes cast.
Rounding out the top three is another Swedish concept — the 2013 butterfly.
The Malmö-held contest opted for its own take on the much-loved flying insect. The creature’s wings featured an array of colours and textures. It represented something small which can start powerful. Such big movements nod to a phenomenon known as the butterfly effect, whereby a flap from one butterfly can start a hurricane.
The 2013 mascot took home 358 votes or 12.76% of all votes cast.

My Top 5 Logos:
My Overall favorite Eurovision Logo of the 2010s: The Heart (2011)
I think the Malmö 2013 logo is the frigging queen of the decade. It doesn’t have that 3D dated touch and it is also a perfect illustration of the diverse cultures and music genres that take part in Eurovision.
I loved the simplicity of 2011, but it was done very well.
2020’s logo would have crushed all of these.
The 2019 star was good enough and they did a fine work implementing it in different aspect of the show, but I’m tired of ESC logos that are 3D objects. It’s quite dated.
2017 is hugely underrated here. It wasn’t a great year production wise, but the logo and the whole branding was really good, best of the decade IMO.
I liked a lot of the 2018 sub-logos, however the one they chose as the main logo was pretty weak, looked more like a beginner Adobe Illustrator exercise than a logo. Shame, because they had some good options.
What kind of things would you like to see in the future?
2017 was a fine year. The venue was big enoug, the stage didn’t look small or cheap and the camera work was more that decent. The interval acts could be more exciting but they did have Onuka in the final, that was pretty great. So why people complain about the 2017 production?
I didn’t write 2017 was substandard, only that it wasn’t great and I’m standing by it.
I don’t know what “people complain about”, for me the problem is not technical details (arena size, camera work etc.) but the overall experience. IMO the stage design was meh, the postcards were generic and uninspired, most of the interval acts were boring and though I liked the hosts, the script they were given was kinda cringy. Unlike most editions of ESC, this one felt like the people making it didn’t put their heart into it.
Yeah, that may be because it largely wasn’t a local production. Because of the messy circumstances, people were drafted in as a necessity. There was no national pride for these people, although of course they did a great job – but because of time limits and other stresses, to actually make a functioning show was the priority.
This poll should also reflect the overall graphics/branding of the respective years.
I’ve always like 2015’s sycronized sperhes and 2012’s flames. Did they create a new font especally for that?
I wasn’t a fan of 2016. It looked like a garish disco ball.
I appreciate both 2017 and 2018.
damn, even stockholm 2016 couldn’t beat the recency bias in this one
(i personally think 2015 and the 2018 logos are the best ones)
