Kyiv 2017: Celebrate Diversity

The artwork and slogan for this year's Eurovision Song Contest have been revealed by The National Public TV and Radio Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Celebrate Diversity

The central message in this year's Eurovision will be Celebrate Diversity. The logo is based on a traditional Ukrainian bead necklace known as Namysto. Namysto is a protective amulet and a symbol of beauty and health. The Namysto is made up of different beads, celebrating both diversity and individuality.

Incorporating this beautiful and meaningful logo based on a traditional amulet gives not only a sense of history and heritage but also a modern look and feel. As the production grows from these themes, we are very much looking forward to seeing what is sure to be a fantastic event in MayJon Ola Sand, Executive Supervisor of Eurovision Song Contest
