Go by GDP and just use the Apple logo.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I think the spiral design is a nice idea but wouldn't do well as a simplified logo like the rest.

I think the dogs and drum are also out because of the logoification.

I think the harp might do best as the logo as we can just steal Guinness design work.

Kinda tempted by the salmon though.

 

[Sir Belchalot]

Pot still for me.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I'm using dark mode so colour might be off but this is what I invision the salmon looking like

That's actually a good call, when I put Newgrange as a choice was referring to the structure as opposed to the triskeles. But maybe the latter should be an option?

Shamrock ... all the way

I think the shamrock and almost anything "kelly green" has become overly commercialized, especially in the US. It is a beautiful and meaningful icon, however.

I really do like the harp. Perhaps in the traditional blue & gold

Yep. Something like this might work

But the simplicity looses some of the charm.

I interpreted it as the Triskele as I thought it would be difficult to get Newgeange as a line work logo.

Thinking of the Scottish pyramids or the Welsh seahorse


Actually a quick Google shows some ok representations

Looks a bit Norse to me.

Keep it simple. Harp.

Something like this for the harp?

 

[spitfire]

Looks good to me.

I think the Shamrock still is best.
For a simple easily recognised Irish symbol.
A nice simple shamrock.

or 4 leaf clover...

I guess Ireland must have a lot of them to produce all that butter and cheese. Ireland has more per capita than the UK at any rate - 1.5m compared to 9.6m in the UK. So there are 150 cows for every person - that's quite impressive.
