We are excited to introduce the logo for the 2019
Galway Races. Our Summer Festival returns for its 150th year, from Monday 29th
July to Sunday 4th August. Remarkably, after 150 years, “Galway” continues to
do what it has always done. It stirs the soul, makes our hearts beat that
little bit faster, brings us together as families and generations, gives us an
occasion to celebrate and provides a degree of certainty in a
sometimes-uncertain world.
It has survived and thrived because it is a race
meeting like no other – and because it creates a feeling like no other. The
style, the entertainment, the sense of history and all the thrills of
top-quality racing…thinking about it is enough to give you goose-bumps. Or, in
other words, it’s enough to make your hair stand on end!
In taking this thought through to a visual
representation, we looked to Celtic symbolism, and applied it to a striking,
appropriate image, to create a logo that would reflect the festival’s strong
local heritage, its place in the Irish psyche and its almost mythical status.
This distinctive horse will become an intrinsic element of our logo and the
brand; a proud (but quietly proud) reminder of reaching this milestone in our
history.
To all our loyal supporters, a sincere thank
you from Michael Moloney and team at Galway Racecourse for your
continued business and support. See you in July. We simply can't wait.
