Lol at the one of Brian Cowen in the 5th-6th years group.

As someone in Google deemed it fit to divide the winners by county I have decided to exercise the age old Irish tradition of "Begrudgery" and only vote for Dubs

Yes...yes I did just go there and bring racism and xenophobia into a childs competition :pac:

Let the battle comence! Come on the Dubs!

lostexpectation

its surprising how few of them actually directly draw st patrick or things related to the him his legend and religion

ps all this is good example of inappropriate corporate brand marketing in schools

Crash

I think we need to make Brian Cowens silly head all over the place :P

Mingey

There are some really good ones there from every level. It's quite hard to choose.

GhostInTheRuins

Some of them are really, really good.

A lot of the Celtic design style ones were excellent.
I did vote for the Brian Cowen one though... even if the creator is from Cork.

Disco Bandit

Hard Larry

*The ones in the Jr./Sr. Infants section is a shambles... They call this art now a days feckin kids is all I'll say. Stevie Wonder could do better


*The following may be slightly over critical but serves them right

EDIT: Reading the comments, "My Snowman likes Google. His name is doodle he likes to google" Feckin snowmen.... In March... Damn 6 year olds and one of them by an 8 year old says Googie not Google.. Gah

Fair play to both of you, they're both really good.

My vote went elsewhere though :pac: :P

2Scoops

All rainbows and pots o' gold and Guinness. :rolleyes: Can someone draw Nenagh or some other realistic example of what Ireland is like? I'm going for the Cowan one.

Euro_Kraut

It has to be Cowen lads! Its classic. Plus the guy hasn't won an election yet so he could do with the boost.

It fairness I think it would be an excellent symbol of one of our nations greatest traits - our ability to laugh at ourselves. This recession is gonna last a while, we might as well start getting a bit of criac out of it.

not one pic of a fight or people puking in the street. It's not Paddy's day without a bit of that.

We should all send in goatse style logos and vote on them:
