Our logo represents Tuirbe (Turvey) Trágmar's Magical Axe & within the axe we incorporated some additional elements:
Between the Axe blades is a Celtic Shield Knot, symbolizing protection against bad luck and evil.
Above the Axe is a Celtic Crown symbolizing loyalty.
Along the Axe blade, the strokes spell out the word 'Trágmar' in Ogham (Ow-um). Ogham is the earliest written form of Primitive Irish, the oldest of the Gaelic languages.
At the base of the Axe handle is a Hop Cone, representing the craft of beer making.
