The logo and slogan of EURO 2012 were unveiled on Monday at a special ceremony in the city of Kiev, the venue for the final of the competition.
UEFA president Michel Platini, together with Grigoriy Surkis, president of the Ukrainian Football Union (FFU) and Grzegorz Lato, president of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) presented the logo and slogan to the public, guests and media representatives on Mykhailivska Square.
“Just three days after the confirmation of the Ukrainian host cities by the UEFA Executive Committee, today marks another important milestone in the run-up to UEFA EURO 2012 and I think that the vivid colours of the logo are a perfect fit with the image that Poland and Ukraine want to give to the world," said Platini at the conference.
“The symbolism of a plant that grows is fully in line with the aspirations of the two host countries, and I am sure that we will be creating history together, with the staging of the UEFA European Football Championship in central and eastern Europe for the first time.
“I am convinced that if we continue with the same spirit shown over the last few months, and we face the challenges awaiting us then the reward will be to the extent of our efforts and we will experience a beautiful football festival in June 2012.”
