## Logo and theme

The logo for the eleventh edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged was designed by Alex Ramírez and Iván Rubio, the head of delegation of Cyprus. Both of them agreed to find a slogan and logo about equality which could represent the country and all Europe, something that was able to unify all the people in one. For this reason, **Linking Fires** was choosen just because all the fire we have inside from ourselves must link with others.

The logo is big ball composed with three colorful fragments creating like a big eye with the island of **Cyprus** in the middle, which is all surrounded by fire as the slogans states.
