Talk:An Post

In 2003, An Post rebranded its post offices network as "Post Office", with a new white and red logo
Is this not a confusion with the "Service Plus" logo, which is an addition to An Post's logo -- as in this example (http://www.rte.ie/news/2003/0506/post1big.jpg)? I don't believe An Post has in fact introduced "Post Office" as a brand - or replaced the An Post logo (as the present wording seems to imply). Any comments? -- Picapica 08:44, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Branding
I'm not sure it's entirely clear what the An Post branding gurus are up to. The post offices and some letter boxes have been repainted a horrible cyan-hued tone of green. It seems they intend to have "Letterpost", "Post Office", etc as seperate brand identities under the umbrella of "An Post" (as the overall corporate identity). So - I don't know if the article is accurate, I do know that it may not be simple to find out! Try An Post's website (I don't have time to go look at it right now). Zoney 19:36, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
No, Post Office has supplanted ServicePlus. You can see the logo concerned online here: [1] (http://www.postts.ie) (An Post Transaction Services website).
Most Post Offices I know now have the Post Office logo replacing the An Post one on the outside of post offices. The one on Ormond Quay is one example I can think off off hand. (Mind you there is one on the south quays that has the P&T "Offig an Phoist" still on the outside). Maynooth also has it (the PostOffice logo, that is). The logo is on a lot of An Post leaflets too.
I don't know if they are going to continue this though, I read at one point that they were going to go back to using An Post for everything, but I can't find this with a quick Google search.
I should point out that the logo in question is in fact that of An Post Transaction Services, and not of An Post itself - the familar lowercast "~post" remains the official An Post corporate logo. But its no longer on the exterior of most Post Offices...
