TorchbearerSydney Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I went to Vienna just to go on the 'Inspector (Kommisar) Rex' City Tour- and they had been cancelled? Is that camp, or just pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorchbearerSydney Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 That horrible dog was pathetic, yeah... Don't tell me that show even ran in Australia??? Rex is shown in over 50 countries, I have even watched it in Iran and Vietnam. It has been on Australian TV continously for over 10 years. So I am not alone in my passion for the 'horrible, pathetic dog'. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ofan Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 He didn't call Wurst a freak, just that Eurovision was a "freak show", which is after all where bearded ladies do come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanMUC Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Terry Wogan never complained about it being a freak show when it still paid him well... In fact, his career is as much ESC-based as that of some one-hit wonder winners, and the show as such has been a circus all during its existence. He just needed some publicity, I guess.

markun Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 The visual identity has been launched for 2015 http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=eurovision_2015_theme_art_is_here Today, the Austrian Host Broadcaster of the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, ORF revealed the visual identity of the 2015 event. The visual identity, also known as the theme artwork, is a continuation of the slogan Building Bridges and is shaped like a sphere. It interprets the theme of a bridge in a visual language of connections and encounters that form over and over again. The theme art work's use of spheres and its wave-shape symbolises being united as well as diversity. The colours reflect the individualism and at the same time building musical bridges, the diversity of the artists, variety of songs and also the diverse audience. "It is a great logo, a strong sign with recognition value and endless possibilities," says Jon Ola Sand, Executive Supervisor of the contest on behalf of the European Broadcasting Union. Dynamic and versatibleDr. Alexander Wrabetz, Director General of ORF: "With this graphic identity we have presented a contemporary, professional entertainment design. A big advantage of the Sphere is the versatility because it is suitable for both - dynamic screen design as well as any analog use. I am particularly pleased that the graphic appearance was developed by a great team in-house." "The Song Contest moved to Austria and Austria welcomes guests happily and with spirit, without the expectable cliches, just in a modern and cosmopolitan way. This dynamism is also reflected in the graphical appearance of the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest," adds Edgar Böhm, Executive Producer of the contest in 2015. The theme art will be used everywhere from crew uniforms to on-air graphics and merchandise. Even though the Eurovision Song Contest has had a logo since 2004 - the word Eurovision with a heart in the middle - every year the EBU encourages the host broadcaster to come up with a theme art that is specific to the event that year.

Ikarus360 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Indeed. The look is nice but it looks more like your typical TV channel ident. Still prefer Malmo 2013 and Baku 2012 looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattygs Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's nice, kinda reminds me of the Oslo artwork though. I do prefer the Malmo and Copenhagen looks, I found Baku's just too similar to the Nagano 98 logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tickle Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 We got tickets for the final dress rehearsal. Very excited, the fact that you could only get 4 tickets for the final meant our group couldn't do that. So my stag weekend will be in Vienna, for Eurovision woo hoo!

StefanMUC Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Udo Jürgens, Austria's first winner back in 1966, has suddenly died today aged 80. He was busy til the end with tours being scheduled etc, so his death (heart failure during a walk this afternoon in Switzerland) came as a total shock. I'm sure ORF had plans to involve him next May, now it will probably mean some kind of tribute... RIP Udo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
