    Does anyone remember a logo for an Irish company which had a green shamrock shape with a letter in each leaf? The leaves were in a circular shape. There's a building in Fairview which still has the outline of this logo on it's exterior where the sign used to be. I have a feeling it might be the old ACC logo but not entirely sure.

    Might it have been an old logo for Bord Failte (Irish Tourist Board) - I remember seeing some old logos at B&Bs around the country which had the letters I T and B in each of the leaves of the shamrock.

    The Bord Failte logo itself of course should be in here, since BF is no more (replaced by Failte Ireland)!! Must hunt a copy....

    I don't think it was, I know the one you're referring to alright. If I remember I'll take a photo of that outline I saw in Fairview and put it up here.

    Today I passed the Irish Glass site in Ringsend which brought the logo back to me. It doesn't seem to be on the net but I remember it well, also remember it engraved at the bottom of milk bottles.

    On a related note but slighted off topic. I spent years living in the states and a young lady I knew (also Irish) had that logo tattooed at the top of her 'special area':eek:

    It was some sort of stylised G,like 3 G's behind each other iirc. Can't find an image through Google at all.

    Ulster Bank, and their parent of course

    Still indeed used by NatWest in a slightly different version, its now red and a bit stylised.

    Its not the old ACC logo anyway, that was "A C C" in a triangular shape, with the "A" on top. Swapped for the present logo when the company name changed from Agricultural Credit Corporation plc to ACCBank plc.

    If as suggested its an old Bord Fáilte logo, its not one I remember. The final Bord Fáilte logo was a green shamrock in a circle, with "Bord Fáilte Éireann" and "Irish Tourist Board" beside it. The even older Bord Fáilte logo, which you'll find on pre-1977 signposts, is a "V" with wings.

    Was this shop almost next door to Shamrock Rovers, and beside St. Annes school in Milltown?

    I knew the photo must have been recent due to the new National Lottery logo on there.

    A quick google brought up Bradbury's Bakeries, who have restaurants/coffee shops in Athy and Newbridge. Hard to see, but it does look like a bakery shop window in the background. Maybe post it in the Kildare forum to see if anyone recognises it?

    thought this thread would be a piece of cake but surprised at how little there is on-line of what I thought would be famous Irish brands from 70s/80s etc....was searching for a H.Williams logo...can't find it anywhere....:(
