Most of the big old buildings, leinster house, custom house etc are Victorian and to me could easily be London so not that distinctive, so to me, Guinnness or the bridges, especially the Ha'penny bridge for me along with the tart with the cart

I would also add that the Temple Bar or Oliver St john Gogerty's are also inconic in that they are what most visitors think of when they think of a Dublin pub.

Ok most people are under the impression that that building is Ulster bank. Not so.
Ulster bank is the smaller curved one with the sign in front of those pyramid-topped towers. I used to work on one of the top floors of that georges quay plaza complex. (had a corner windows desk and all ) Its actually a completely different building, with each floor rented or sold as office space for various companies. Ulster bank were just very clever, because they have a V shaped building surrounding it on the front and side, with their logo on the top and everybody thinks its massive.

This scrumptious beauty is identified in most regions of the world as being Dublin.

These pieces of crap?

Dublin City Council think these are iconic enough to put their logo on them.

You all ready have a thread running with this stuff, why bring it up in another?.

It's what DCC are touting as their Dublin icon...'a civic communication network'

Thread is about Dublin Icons.

The thread title emphasises YOU, meaning you, not DCC. Unless, you are DCC? :pac:

Well put Windsock!! And love the lamp pics - great idea!

It's interesting to see what different people see as iconic to them. Some great pics there - thanks all!
