The illustrator behind the coke ads is called Eboy. His blog has high resolution images of the poster as well as the Cork, Belfast, Galway versions. Worth checking out if you like the ad.
Of course there is always the Coke bebo page for people who want to play the game. Which is like this thread on skittles.
Enough shilling for coke for one day i think.
As part of the graduate show in NCAD there is a small piece on Irish road signage that’s worth checking out, the show finishes on the 14th so you have to be quick. It looks into the history of the signage typography, Ireland for example uses the English signage TRANSPORT font, and has examples of how other countries deal with dual language signage (welsh, greek,…).
There is no great discussion about the use of Irish place names -the existing legislation is pretty much accepted- the emphasis of the study is on clarity and design.

It’s in the Glasnevin Cemetery extension, it’s the back of a war memorial at the far East of the site
Spot on igy. I as worried no one would get it.
A view from the front for those unfamiliar:

a few metres behind where the pic was taken is Glasnevin Junction (I think?) on the rail line.
If this is what you mean, yes. You need to be quick to be able to see it from the DART. Photo was taken from he Royal Canal. I was completely unfamiliar with the sculpture or that part of Glasnevin cemetery. The cemetery is very well hidden. I wonder who lives in that blue container.
GrahamH that ad is neat alright.
Sorry i did miss your post earlier ctesiphon. Your correct of course: Talbot Street pub and Lincoln Place.
One more. This one is just outside of the canal boundary but not by much.
Yeah, it’s the sculpture by the jervis centre. Anyone know what the story is with the cow, was the square a commons at sometime? Would look great on an over sized marble plinth, instead of lying in the dirt like it is now.

D is the Dental Hospital in TCD.
A looks like Mountjoy Women’s Prison, but that’s a guess.
Is C also in Trinity? Looks very familiar.
B- don’t know. Docklands? Nice bit of yellow brick. Or is it red? And what type of pointing is it? Hmmm… 😉
They were answered quickly. And ctesiphon is on the ball again. D and C are sound, both in Trinity alright: dentist Hospital and … -your going to have to be more specific with C to get full marks I’m afraid.
B and D are unfortunately a double no, although on the right track.
By the by here is the full uncropped first image i posted for which I’m still looking for information on.
Had a quick google for Peter Murray as to DOC’s reply, seems like there are two architecture Murrays one who is the curator at the Crawford and another who is the founder of Blueprint magazine. Is this my man? Anyone know any more details about the building, or who could point me the right direction?
Another another puzzler just to keep this thread on target, where is this delightful sculpture to be found:
Bears an uncanny resemblance to starving cows in the Sahara i find.
This is the last of them so. Already ran out of images. One of these is a bit unfair, give it a go.

You got it, or at least your colleague did. Then again all the glory goes to the person who posts the right answer first.
A quick shot looking the other way, the bell tower gives it away pretty quick:
And what is left of the chapel:
The first image and F still need answering. Although, looking at it now i think F is outside of the canal boundary so technically not allowed.
Very good. D: School of Photography taken from the first floor, with the wall of Charlies III framed.
The other two not so good. No War memorial and no tennis club pictured. Guess again.
That was fast, Damn i thought B would have people guessing longer. Absolutely correct Phibsoro shopping center.
Not to sure about your answer for A. Is Peter Murray the architect for the first image i put up or for the second (my A).
