Theme[edit]

The discussion is extracted from this talk. Should the main ESC page display the permanent slogan in the infobox like the annual pages do? Smthngnw (talk) 09:25, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The slogans for the ESC had been a significant part of the shows like the logo in terms of representation, broadcasting and marketing. Since the introduction of the permanent slogan from now on the whole show keeps the same slogan. I don't see a problem in keeping the consistency between an annual contest page and the main page when they both have a permanent theme. Smthngnw (talk) 09:26, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I don't see the need, which is also what the other participant felt in the discussion you linked above. Choosing a slogan moving forward does not override past branding. Please also see here, which is discussing individual year pages and templates. Grk1011 (talk) 12:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And the current ESC logo in the infobox doesn't override the past branding. I don't understand your point. Smthngnw (talk) 15:02, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
