70 years of Eurovision - new flag design

Tuesday, April 07, 2026

colourful circular design with rings made up of flag colours.

This year, Eurovision turns 70. So to mark this anniversary, I've made an update to my flags of Eurovision winners design.

I originally made this design as a bored-in-lockdown project in 2020, and I thought it was worthy of an update to mark the Contest's big birthday. I've now made two versions - one that keeps the circular, abstract design, based on flag colours, and one that is more flag-accurate.

colourful, circular design with rings based on flags.

Both are available on Redbubble, where the designs can be bought as prints or on t-shirts, stickers, notebooks, coasters, clocks, cushions, and lots more. It can be bought against a navy, grey or white background - leave a comment here if you would like another colour, as that can easily be added.

My 2020 design is easily the best-selling item from my Redbubble store. I was delighted to see it recently in the profile picture of the new OGAE UK president John Bennett! Below you can also see some ideas how the design will look, thanks to Redbubble.

19 instagrams celebrating cities' typography and type

Walking through a city, one of the things I enjoy most is simply seeing words: typography, signs, lettering in all its forms. As you move through the streets, it often feels like the city itself is talking to you.

For years now, I’ve been sharing my take on these on one of my Instagram accounts, posting stylised snippets of words, tiles, bricks and other details that catch my eye. They come from many different places as I travel, from Bulgaria to New York - though most often from Amsterdam or London.

I’ve started to wonder whether these kinds of signs and lettering form a 'personality type' for a city, a visual language shaped by history, design and everyday life.

Today, I am highlighting a selection of nineteen Instagram profiles that focus on typography found in cities around the world, each offering a take on how urban spaces speak through letters.

EDIT: Since sharing this post on Instagram, I've received lots more recommendations, so I've added them as a list below.
