What happened to the heiniken letters on that building...

Jay1989 · 24-08-2009, 17:42

I'm actually not too sure what the official name of the building is, but you all know which one I'm talking about (the massive office block thing on the south of O'Connell bridge).

Well, 2 weeks ago I noticed the "h" of the word "heiniken" was missing & last weekend I noticed the whole sign was gone!

Anyone know what the story is about this?
Thanks in advance

I imagine it was purely commercial advertising and the contract is up.

Jay1989 · 24-08-2009, 18:08

Ahh, that's a shame, it's just I've got a friend coming over soon (who isn't Irish) & he said it sounded like something to see...Looking back, I guess it did look cool at night...

Didn't it used to say "Guinness" at one stage, or am I going mad?

Aww, I once spent 5 hours staring at those letters.

(New in Dublin, waiting for a train, was more staring at the clock than the letters but at times my eyes wandered down.)

What would be a good logo, brand or word to put in its place ?

"EYESORE"

df1985 · 24-08-2009, 22:54

I know the perfect company name to replace it, a name that will be spoken about none stop from the next budget on N.A.M.A. lol

It's just an advertising deal I presume that's run out. John Byrne owns the building and he's mega secretive so we'll only find out who's replacing Heineken when the new letters go up
