"Official" icons shown so far



If you filter it it narrows it down to 6000 or so as most of them are just different weightings of the same design.

But I couldn't find anything suitable.

I did find one that looks like the Four Courts but that's very Dublincentric.

There were some "comedy" ones like explosions, rifles, cups of tea but only we get to make jokes about that.

The cow is a pretty good design

Interesting



The Green Harp flag predates the partition of the island of Ireland and, as a result, the Irish Harp transcends the modern, partitioned borders and represents the island as a whole.
Also.. the harp became part of the symbolism used by the Crown...
Ans it was rejected by Irish republicans because of its ties to Great Britain. The Blue Harp was the standard of the Kingdom of Ireland, and was then incorporated into both the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland's flag and a quadrant of the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom to represent Northern Ireland.

After partition the Harp on a green ground was replaced with tricolor...the white in the middle was supposed to represent peace between the orange and the green. ..
I believe if we were ever to have a United Ireland that we should look at coming up with a new flag.
 
I like the tricolour. It's simple, looks nice and has no associations with the British crown. There's no need to change it.

Plus it's good for confusing certain knobbers who don't know the difference between the Ireland and Ivory Coast flags :facepalm:

okay i figured out my problem. when i apply dark mode, the icon changes to plain quote bubbles. in basic and winterval tho', the little cowie is there. this is on phone (Samsung). no problem at all Lazy Llama but a quirk of xenforo that you may want to file away.

Thanks, I need to sync the dark and normal styles. Will try to do it in the morning.
