It's actually illegal to use the harp as a logo as well. It's trademarked by the Govt. Guinness is the only company in the world that uses the harp - and that only because they used it first.The Harp IMHO is the symbol of the Government of ROI and may not be acceptable to some up north.

Not so sure about that..Ryanair uses a harp as I am sure do a lot of other companies.

The Government have a very particualr harp and that harp is deffinitely out of bounds! However you do see other harps in logos. Look at FiannaFail's logo and as was already said, Ryanair.

If we are thinking of using traditional irish symbols such as a harp in the logo...why not use LYRA or the stars of Lyra, they form a distinctive shape

Hi Guys
If we are thinking of using traditional iriah symbols such as a harp in the logo...why not use LYRA or the stars of Lyra, they form a distinctive shape
Great idea, better yet can anyone find a constellation where they could draw a propper harp from the star pattern??
Get out those starmaps :lol:
