All Aboard is the slogan!

- Fist tickets available this month
- The red carpet will be blue and it's schedule to occur on the 6th of May

 

[DanielLuis]

Red Carpet is no more - next year the opening ceremony will be named Blue Carpet and will take place on May 6th!

 

[DanielLuis]

The press conference with the full details about the slogan, visual identity, tickets, participating countries, et cetera will start soon. I don't know wether it will be broadcasted on RTP 3 or not, but I think so.

The logo is cool! Totally not what I expected, but really great. About the slogan, I'm not that enthusiastic. It feels kinda.. cheesy. I get the reference to the ocean theme but.. meh.

Is it still going? I thought it had ended...

 

[JonnyWest]

"Europe is a collective of many, and this has also inspired RTP’s design team to introduce multiple logos for 2018, rather than a single image. The main logo depicting a shell comes with twelve other derivations, which are predicated on the concept of the varying life in the oceans and depict the wonders of a floating world, such as plankton and a range of other organisms which are essential for balance in aquatic ecosystems."

The conference hasn't actually even started yet!

 

[SwissKung]

That is the ugliest eurovision logo I've ever seen, It looks more like a pile of blue pringles than a shell.

Slogan is neat though, feels refreshing compared to "Come Together" or "Celebrate Diversity".

 

[JonnyWest]

I like the other logos more than the main one, specially the jellyfish

 

[Schlagerman1]

Not a horrible logo and slogan, but a very different one comparing to former years. Indeed a statement from Portugal after all the recent talks about the garbage that people put in our seas, nice job RTP!
