Every European (and I guess non-Europeans as well) can vote what our next Euro design will be: https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/neweuro/
About ten different designs are available and about half of them feature birds instead of boring people.
I really like the bird designs as they symbolise freedom without borders. Hope one of them gets chosen in the end.


I assume these are in the same order for everyone, but I loved the first set of vertical ones; the ones with might contrast. Most of the designs felt afraid to use color, since the note is supposed to be one color to identify them easily. I honestly think having the high contrast with the birds makes them easier to identify though. 90% of it was still the right color, so that’s still easy to see. Having the image stand out just gives it another identifiable piece though, which can’t hurt, and it makes them look so much prettier.
I believe they’re under the same letters for everyone. I’ll include the pictures just in case :3
For me “D”
Is my favourite overall, I love the bright colours on it, though I think the 20 maybe is a bit crowded, with the multiple birds and the security strip it all kinda clashes and you lose the shapes in the middle imo
The other vertical ones with birds (“I” and “J”) are my 2 runner ups, (I just think the vertical designs are cool :3), “J”
I think has better colours than “I”, and I like that the colouration of the birds is somewhat preserved in the accents on them both. “I”
Overall looks the most rustic/traditional, while “D” the most modern I think.
