 | Guinness Official Merchandise From 1759, a date immortalised on the Guinness Harp logo, up through today, the evolution of GUINNESS has been an exciting venture. GUINNESS has evolved into an experience formed by its associations with the pub, sports, friends and family and a belief that strength of character is key. A main licensed manufacturer of Guinness Collectables is Enesco who has held the license since 2002.
Guinness memorabilia was originally launched in conjunction with the advertising campaign in 1930. John Gilroy, an artist in his own right worked on the Guinness account from 1929 until the 1960s and designed advertisements for national newspapers, posters and television adverts. Many of you will instantly recognise these iconic images that feature a distraught zookeeper and his mischievous animal characters. The slogan Guinness is Good for you was first published in the British press and this was soon followed with other natty sayings such as Thank Goodness for Guinness and Guinness for Strength.
