Every Eurovision Song Contest has a different look (and for a time, a different slogan…). Eurovision 2024 is no different. From badges and pens, to stickers and socks, through billboards and stadium wraparounds, and beyond, designing for the Song Contest is a huge challenge that continues right up until broadcast.

Which is why, after the announcement of 2024’s visual identity, we caught up with Bold Scandinavia’s  Sidney Lim, one of the Design Directors behind the process, to have a chat over coffee on all things theme.
