Bring these logos back

Suggestions of logos you’d love to see make a comeback

For me it would have to be The Department of Social Protections logo. Remember the Dove and scrounger hand? Everything is a harp these days with that government ffs.

Iarnród Éireann’s arrow logo from 1994-2012 is another one that needs to be brought back.

The old GAA celtic cross emblem. Looked far nicer in the centre of crime park than the new one.

Looks like auto correct knows something.

I didnt like the Social Welfare logo. Dodnt even realise it's gone.Generally I find U.S. Logos or brand idents are better than here. One of my favourite idents is the channel 4 one. It stood the test of time.

Yeah I actually really liked that one, the arrow was pointing backwards tho. Apt? It's still visible on the big silos on the way into Waterford by road or rail. I always admire it.

Also the olde timey Irish Rail one with the I R done out, looking like train tracks? Pure retro.

I really liked the old Pioneer logo of the tuning fork superimposed on a capital Omega symbol. Awesome logo why did they ditch it?

The an post logo should have been retained. It has been their logo since early 1980s until changed approx 2016.

They perfected it in 1970

Telecom Eireann. Homestead.

Anyone else think the Irish football crest is awful design? Of all the cool Celtic cross and artwork in the country.

Especially since it's not a unique design, as Israels is mostly the same.

The Topaz service station logo - not that it was all that great in itself (it really wasn't) but its replacement - the incredibly uninspiring Circle K design that looks 3rd rate 1970s standard...

they changed all the logos in the 4 family to incorporate that design, should have left Film4 alone

The “logo” for Germany in the 30s to 1945 was quite something.

I’m not sure there’s much chance of it making a comeback though.

They were partial to the white flag post 1944.

Trawl the lower echelons of the internet, with all that QAnon bull****.

I think you'll find otherwise.

whisky_galore · 13-09-2020 07:05AM

It's odd how brands like Ford, BMW, VW, Ryanair, Spar, London Underground etc haven't changed their logos in decades or best part of 100 years in cases and the likes of Irish Rail, An Post, Telecom Eireann/Eircom/whatever the fcuk they call themselves now, have to keep wasting money needlessly pissing around with their corporate image.

'Scrounge hand', interesting, so hidden predudice, should be an interesting tread!

I wonder why they changed the '46 / '48 logo? :eek:

Andrea B. · 13-09-2020 09:00AM

The P&T logo and the way the "+" was built in to blank space.
They had an old Irish font version too.

The next logo will have a hammock in front of a free house.

Lol what !!

What became Pioneer started out as "Fukuin" which is the Japanese word for "gospel". The guy who started Fukuin was the son of Japanese Christian missionaries, thus the inspiration for his company name. He decided he wanted to create a top notch Japanese speaker when he heard an American Philco unit back in the 1930's (or was it 40's? Hmmm...). He added the brand name Pioneer fairly early on and then dropped Fukuin in the early 60's when the company became Pioneer Corp.

Zero chance. Copyright infringement. A Dublin laundry owned that logo.

Aer Lingus please, please bring back green planes.

Eurowhite is too generic. It's practically camouflage at an airport.

And what's with using Ryanair coloured seats ?

Reminds me of this

Embarrassingly it took 20 years of seeing that logo for my girlfriend to casually say "It's cool how they made the 1 out of the space between the white and red". I went two thirds of my life thinking that's a **** logo becasue the red 1 was so weird.

It makes them easier to see at night.

It's cheaper.

I don't know anyone who chose to fly with a certain airline based on what the outside of the plane looks like.

The old CIE logo was a classic

No prejudice at all. That’s what people I knew from my childhood who were on Jobseekers Benefit (later allowance) called it. This term actually came from people who were laid off by Irish Sugar in Thurles in the late 80s-90s. Unfortunately the majority of these people never got employed again due to lack of skills/jobs.
