## Logo and theme

The logo of the thirtieth edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged was designed by Alex Ramírez the main producer of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. The main logo is just the outline of the map of Morocco recreating a typical scene from the Moroccan desert. The background is also inspired by the sand dunes from the Moroccan desert. The slogan of this edicion was "Spread your language" which fits very well with the theme of the edition in which all the countries must send their entries in the national language. "We have just thought that using this slogan and the outline of the country as the official artwork match perfectly with what we want to convey with our languages" stated the executive producer Ryan Brown.
