Armenia Public Television has revealed the branding for Eurovision Young Musicians 2026, which will be held next month in Yerevan, Armenia.
With just over a month to go until Eurovision Young Musicians takes place, the official branding for the competition has been released. AMPTV states that the branding has been inspired by Armenian culture and arts, adding:
“The main source of inspiration for this branding is Minas Avetissian’s “Jajur.” The color palette drawn from this painting has become the foundation for the illustrations. These vibrant and expressive colors clearly reflect the tricolor of the Republic of Armenia, visually representing Armenian cultural heritage and national identity.”
In addition, the cello, which is the official symbol of the contest, has been re-interpreted “It harmonizes with the colors of Minas Avetissian an and national motifs.” The official slogan for the competition this year will be Armenia – Where Classical Music Unites.
