2012 Theme

Posted on by robandlinds

What’s your dream for 2012?

The City of Sydney has revealed that the theme for this year’s New Year’s Eve event is “Time to Dream“. Internationally renowned Australian designer Marc Newson’s theme and logo for the firework celebration were unveiled today along with the launch of a revamped New Year’s Eve website dedicated to the biggest party in the world. Newson’s ”Time to Dream” theme encapsulates Sydneysiders’ endless spectrum of hopes and aspirations and asks them to think about what their dreams are for the New Year. The revamped 2011 Sydney New Year’s Eve website includes detailed information about the 9pm and midnight fireworks, which attract about 1.5 million people to the harbour and are viewed by an estimated 1 billion people around the world.
This year’s theme will be accompanied by a four-coloured ”endless rainbow” logo designed by Newson in his signature minimalist style. The endless rainbow represents the broad range of people from different cultures, backgrounds and demographics who come together in Sydney on New Year’s Eve.
The rainbow includes:
  • Violet to represent community, peace, social stability and connectedness;
  • Blue to symbolise the harbour, sky and future aspirations;
  • Green for the environment, nurturing and growing; and
  • Yellow, which epitomises optimism, happiness and a sunny attitude.
Heath Campanaro, from Imagination Australia, said working with Newson had been a dream come true for their creative team. “New Year’s Eve is a Time to Dream. From the young to the old, from the moonstruck to the love-struck, every New Year’s Eve midnight is a blank canvas for us all. What do you dream for 2012?”
