Branding St. Flannan’s Cathedral

At One Little Studio, we don’t believe in simply putting logos on things — we believe in telling stories. So when St. Flannan’s Cathedral in Killaloe approached us, we knew this wasn’t just about a brand identity — it was about capturing the essence of a place steeped in heritage, community, and quiet majesty.

Our creative team set out to craft a visual identity that would honour the cathedral’s rich history while helping it speak confidently to the present. Think ancient stone meets fresh thinking. We drew inspiration from the cathedral’s architectural details, historic carvings and the flowing waters of the Shannon — weaving these elements into a design that feels both rooted and alive.

Typography, colour palette, iconography — every detail was considered with care. We balanced tradition with clarity, ensuring the branding felt accessible to all, whether you’re a visitor stepping in for the first time, a local attending a community event, or someone seeking a moment of stillness.

And, of course, it had to work across everything — from signage and event posters to social media and beyond. The final result is a visual identity that respects the sacred space it represents, but with a warm, contemporary touch that invites people in.

For us, it was more than a project — it was a privilege. Collaborating with the team at St. Flannan’s Cathedral reminded us why we do what we do: to help remarkable places like this find their voice in a modern world, without ever losing what makes them special.
