Azerbaijan 2012 Eurovision logo unveiled
Baku, January 25 (AZERTAC). “Light your fire!” has been determined as the motto for the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku.
The slogan and the theme art for the contest were unveiled in a spectacular show at Baku’s Buta Palace on Wednesday.
Fire and buta (national pattern of Azerbaijan and many Eastern countries) are the main elements of the 2012 Eurovision logo.
If the 2011 contest took place under the slogan Feel your heart beat!, Baku 2012 will go into the history books under the motto Light your fire!
Azerbaijan has been known as the Land Of Fire for a while now and the symbol of fire and flames is used extensively across the country. The people of Azerbaijan also take great pride in this association with fire.
"Since the dawn of time, mankind has come together around fire to communicate through the telling of stories, song and dance. The Eurovision Song Contest is where people come together to celebrate and communicate through song and dance," the creators explained the idea behind the theme art.
All of that can be seen visually in the theme art of the 2012 edition of Europe's favourite TV show.
