Evolution of the Eurovision Song Contest Logo 1956-2010

Past weekend, Norway won the 54th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Iceland got the second place and Azerbaijan got away third. I personally didn't really follow much of the contest since The Netherlands didn't even make it into the finals.

One thing that I really loved about the contest was their logo. The colourful bird (based upon a "Fantasy Bird") is a real sleek sub-logo next to the generic logo. While checking the logos from the previous years, I came across some very well designed logos for this contest.

This article is a roundup showing the evolution of the Eurovision Song Contest logo from 1956 (when the first contest was held) until now. Some logo's (especially in the early days) are nothing more than simple text. Later on, the logo became more complex, while some find their beauty in simplicity.

Evolution of the Eurovision Song Contest Logo 1956-2010

The generic logo was introduced in 2004 to create a consistent visual identity. The host country's flag appears in the heart. The logo from 2010 listed here is only the main logo: A sub-logo is not yet created. While looking at these amazing logos, you might see that the logo from 1973 is missing. EurovisionCovers and Wikipedia both show different (low quality) versions from that year.

Now make sure to check out this amazing inspirational logo collection showing some great Eurovision Song Contest logos over the past years.

Show me some sleek and well designed game logos

The gaming industry can sometimes be a real source of inspiration. The designs, animation, graphics, music and storyline in each and every game can help you get your inspiration fluids running.

Although I don't play much games myself, I do like the way some game logos (and game covers) are designed.

Sleek Game Logos

On the picture above, you see Faith, the main character in Mirror's Edge. The game logo imitates the shape of the design around her right eye.

The list below shows some seriously sleek and well designed game logos for your inspiration. They all have one thing in common: The logo is more than "just the name of the game" in a fancy way. It's something where you can recognize the game of.

Gimme some inspiring band website designs

Music. Everybody listens to it and loves it. Some people like rock, some prefer pop music, while others only listen to electronic music.

There are some amazing (popular) music bands out there that have an incredibly amazing and inspiring website design. With their great music and their well designed online "business card", it helps in their success.

Inspiring band websites

Sadly, there are many band websites out there that aren't really that inspirational. The sites from The Killers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Panic! at the Disco, Green Day, Coldplay, Pink Floyd and many others could really use another layout.

Hope to see some great designs out there soon that might be inspired by these good-looking band websites.

Freebies: "Frozen Nature" High Resolution Texture Pack

Today, it's my 20th Birthday. Instead of receiving presents, I'm handing out some high quality freebies for my loyal readers.

Currently, it's freezing in the Netherlands: 20 degrees celsius minus 0. Everything is covered in a small layer of snow, lakes are totally frozen and people are ice skating.

While I was taking a walk through the nature last week, I saw that everything was totally frozen. All the textures of the leaves were clearly visible: Better than normal. It's pretty obvious that I'm presenting another high resolution texture pack called Frozen Nature. This pack contains 6 textures (1000 px of width) with some nature stuff were you can see their texture really well!

I hope you enjoy them and use them well. The textures are totally free for all kinds of use.
