From top: Designs by Murtles, Francesco Flemini and the winning design from Eoin O’Connor.
You might recall last week’s plea for a logo to go on hi viz jackets and whatnot for the newly formed St James and District Residents’ Association aiming to make that part of Dublin city a little NICER.

I presented the final three designs to our meeting last night. Thank you Eoin O’Connor, of ONOKONO Design Studio for the winning entry (pic 3)
We were all delighted with your submission, really we were, and everyone could immediately see the road outline and “fountain”, the [St James] triangle, in your design. Thanks also to, Murtles and Francesco for their great designs and thanks to Jean O’Brien who contacted me with advice and an offer to do the work at a later stage if we didn’t find a winner :)
Previously: Can You Design?
I like the last one. Clean design and the dash of colour is just fabulous.
I swear, the room lit up when they saw that one, Eoin had another which was great too, but this one had everyone smiling :)
The second one looks like something you’d see on the cover of a ‘Your child and bullying’ booklet from the 1980s.
She needs to cock her wrist more, but its other wise a good action, nice high release.
I’d say your parents brought enough of them home.
I was accused of bullying a few times but I definitely was not one.
God you’re so miserable
Thanks everyone for the entries! Fair play to Francesco, whom I think submitted all the way from Italy! Broadsheet’s reach is far and wide.
And to Murtles who has a far better grasp of word art than I, your ‘draft’ was brilliant, I really liked the tank and UFOs …and I take it you’re a fan of Frazer …maybe?
Eoin’s winning entry really did light up the room… cheers Eoin! :)
Much appreciated!
you should reward him. it’d be pretty stingey if you didn’t give him something.
I’m wokin’ on something, to do just that… :)
good stuff
Is it just me or does the winning one look like a syringe?
Just you, really.
Yes, it really is just you. Leave the syringe ‘jokes’ to the Spire.
It looks exactly like a syringe. Bad design.
For clarity…. :)

I wasn’t make a syringe ‘joke’
Obviously it’s based on the geographical area, but it looks like a syringe.
i thought the same thing.
it could also look like a pen drawing a line? which could be a nice metaphor.

What is the font and what does the graphic represent?
The graphic is of the road running from James Street Church beside Guinness’ and runs up to James’ Hospital – going right to left.
You’ll see it on the map here, with the ‘triangle’ or ‘fountain’, being the distinctive (to locals anyway) landmark – https://twitter.com/TheTrips/status/525595251223068672 :)
I dunno what font that is… I’ll let ya know, when I find out.
Ah that’s really great. The Fountain is really representative of the area. Was traditionally a meeting place for the men to meet and talk – residents of the area would request to be carried round the fountain 3 times on the way to the church for their funeral.
Or maybe that was just me granda playing a bad joke on us…….
