Introduction
A golden harp, drawn like a museum engraving, above a black serif name — the Guinness logo in this download carries the most famous trademark in Irish history.
Brand Overview
Guinness is an Irish dry stout first brewed in 1759 by Arthur Guinness at St James’s Gate in Dublin, Ireland — the brewery he leased for 9,000 years at £45 a year. The black stuff with the creamy white head is now brewed in almost 50 countries and owned by Diageo. Its official website is guinness.com.
History of the Guinness Logo
The harp is modelled on the medieval Brian Boru harp, Ireland’s national emblem. Guinness adopted it for its labels in 1862 and registered it as a trademark — which is why, when the Irish state later adopted the same harp, the government’s version had to face the opposite way. In 2016 the design studio Design Bridge redrew the harp with richer, hand-engraved detail — the lettering “ESTD 1759” runs down its pillar — pairing it with the stately GUINNESS wordmark. That refined lockup, reproduced in this download, is the current identity.
Meaning of the Logo
- The harp: Ireland itself — a 14th-century instrument that stands for the nation’s music, poetry and pride.
- ESTD 1759: The founding date engraved into the harp’s pillar, turning the emblem into a certificate of age.
- Gold and black: The harp’s gold echoes the roasted-barley stout’s own drama — darkness crowned with light.

Conclusion
Guinness’s harp outranks flags: a trademark so old that a nation had to mirror its own emblem around it.
