When I read this post, I eagerly used it for various flavors and brands and it does really well with all types of ice cream. I would like to include this recipe in my Ice cream menu.

Ditto the new colour, it's not food friendly at all. The old logo and name was much better, maybe it just needs a bit of tweaking to make it more legible? Baby, bathwater etc. Sorry to sound a bit harsh but you're great at what you do and I really think the new one would be a huge mistake. Best of luck.

I think, like the others have said, that it is impersonal and corporate! I love the colour of the original a lot better than the teal. I have known Murphys for at least 10 years now and its that signature blue that stands out to me and what helps give you that classy personalised feel the business. It is bright and cheery. I understand that some people might not be able to read the writing, but please don't do anything too drastic. You can just lose a bit of the cursive. The Forenames dont do anything for the brand either. I know many people who know Murphys Icecream, and when they speak about it its usually Murphys or Murphys Icecream. I believe your mame has already been established with many customers especially the locals in Dingle, and changing it now may lead to confusion, especially if your old customers use murphys ice cream and your new ones use sean and kieran or something to that effect! Please please dont do anything drastic with the logo and name!!! Please! I really don’t like the new name! I think, like the others have said, that it is impersonal and corporate!

Would these ingredients cause the cream to curdle? I know that the acidity in the fruit is the reason for curdling when combined with cream, but how much acid are you able to use? Thanks Bell Hi Kieran,

I lived in Galway for several months last year, and after three weeks travelling around France, Italy, and Switzerland, there was nothing I wanted more than vinegar-drenched chips and mushy peas. I wasn't on the most lenient of budgets, but even so Irish food felt like home. Irish food has its own place in my heart.

I think it's personal and feminine whereas the new logo is bland, masculine and doesn't give any indicator what the product is. The old logo is subtle and creative whereas the new logo is too in your face and obvious. I am curious as to why you dropped 'ice cream' and added your names! I don't think you need a reinvention at all! keep up the delicious icecream =) there are better ways to spend money! I much prefer the old logo; the flowy lines remind me of icecream!

SInce we had just had dinner,I selected a coffee which was as beautiful as it was delicious. I noted that you also had a shop in Killarney. unfortunately, we never had a chance to try the ice cream. I had read about your ice cream so you are receiving good advertising, My suggestion is to stay with the original logo which is much softer and attractive. If you are hesitant to change, it may not be the right decision. Good luck with your marketing from an American who dreams of the Irish dairy products Stopped in your shop in Dublin.
