It has been announced that the slogan for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest will be “United By Music”.
The forthcoming contest, which will take place in Liverpool in May, will display the new slogan alongside an array of beating hearts in the colours of the Ukrainian and UK flags.
The typeface of the slogan has been named “Penny Lane”, after the 1967 Beatles song, in a nod to the city’s cultural heritage.
Last year, Ukraine won the contest with Kalush Orchestra, and the UK came second with singer Sam Ryder.
Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the UK took over hosting duties for this year, with Liverpool selected as the location for the contest.
Following the announcement, the BBC said that the new slogan “reflects the very origins of the contest, developed to bring Europe closer together through a shared TV experience across different countries”.

Meebo, social media sharing experts, have just forked over an undisclosed sum to buy ad-targeting experts Mindset. These innovative guys eschew demographic profiling, and use psychographic targeting to understand consumers instead. But...what the heck is that?
Meebo's been doing its social platform, media sharing/messaging gig for six years now, and late in 2010 managed to pull together $25 million in funding to extend and expand its operations. As news sites are reporting, the company has made the first step in strategically spending this cash and has handed over an undisclosed number of millions to buy Mindset Media. The idea is to leverage Mindset's expertise to brush up Meebo's brand-advertiser powers--Meebo's been working on these for some time, and its ad-powered toolbars appear on several high-profile sites. Mindset is particularly focused on consumer packaged-goods marketing.
But what sets Mindset apart, and which may have been particularly interesting to Meebo, is how it profiles its consumer audience.
