Eurovision 2023: 'United By Music' the slogan for the 67th edition of the contest
-
One day before the Semi-Final Allocation Draw BBC has unveiled the official logo and slogan “United by Music” for Eurovision 2023.
As we are heading into the core of the national selection season and one day ahead of the Semi-Final Allocation Draw set to take place on January 31 at St. George’s Hall in Liverpool along with the Handover Ceremony, the hosting broadcaster, BBC, has released the official logo for the 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.
The venue set to host the Semi-final allocation draw has been decorated with the art theme and the slogan 'United by Music' featuring the outside decor.
The art theme is mainly dominated by the colors of the Ukrainian flag, yellow and blue, paying repsect to last year's winners. In addition a touch of pink and dark blue navy color feature the artwork giving through the contradiction with the first two colors a more vivid look to this year's art theme.
The artwork demonstrates a neckless of heart lined up quite to the neckless we saw back in the art theme of the Eurovision in 2017 in Kiev.
