It says a lot that the Eurovision.tv announcement about this points out that it'll be Sweden's 60th anniversary. Everything has to be about Sweden. It's going to be Portugal's 50th participation but let's talk about Sweden. It's getting ridiculous.

Shame Macedonia is out! :? Obviously not everyone will be aboard in 2018. But at least there will be no second Romania 2016. I hope they'll be able to come back next edition.

Regarding the logo, it's ok-ish: not great, but not bad either, it could have been worse. Apparently, the EBU can't get enough of round things: the shell is cute but why are there yellow shapes behind it?

The slogan is meh: it's short, catchy and reminiscent of sea - I get it - still they could have found something more original given the theme.

I like it (the logo) with transparent background. It's gonna look awesome on public transport/cars/subway wagons (all aboard, bitches! :lol: ).
+ it's not dark and it's got the colors of our flag :mrgreen:

Love the slogan, at least is not the we-must-love-each-other crap. About the logo I absolutely love the jellyfish, but I get why isn't the main logo, they need something that pops out in any background and the yellow sure does that.

The logo was fully design by a Portuguese artist

I meant: doesn't the EBU usually decide which artwork will be picked? xthink

It's good that we've got several logos though, apparently all of them will be used. That's cool because most of them are nice and more creative than the shell imo :)

All board :'D it's different from the horrendously dull and cliche slogans of the past couple of years that are about as inspiring as a ditch water, but wtf does 'All Aboard' even mean? Must we a board a train first? xrollinglol

I do like the colours of the logos though, better than the deep blues and purples, something more vibrant and summery.

Yes, all will be used during the shows and troughout all the side events in Lisbon! But the shell is the main one.
