I think you need to draw out how you got to horse dragon from that 😂🧐
I see it, now I can’t un see it
22 years of age when I realised it.
Youre not alone.
When I was a kid I always saw the birds wing as a smiling mouth, and the curled bits as like tentacles. Always thought it was like a strange octopus creature with a long neck and big nose.
Oh ffs.
A horse dragon? wtf 🤣🤣
It’s Noah’s Ark. The little birdy is the dove that came back with an olive branch, meaning dry land was somewhere near.
No you’ve got it upside down.
It’s a man with a beautiful head of curls
It’s a depiction of Noah’s Ark taken from Killary church in Meath. They’re more like the flood than the ark but there ya go.
I thought it was a moustache
I always saw it as a sea monster. The curly bits at the bottom are his tentacles, the twig is his hair, the line marking the bird’s wing is his big friendly smile.
Ha I only realised what it all was when they told me during my induction working for them. Its a dove on an ark apparently.
I was in primary school in the 80s when this was commissioned. I think they asked the public to send in their drawings. I remember my 6th class teacher bringing it into class and we all had a massive laugh at it. He told us that anyone of us could have drawn it and burst out laughing
Horse dragon??? I’m trying really hard but I can’t aee it.
huh
A friendly looking Norse Dragon, definitely not a Horse Dragon.
Sur there’s no such thing 😜
Jester with big curly shoes – all I saw for years
My brain is recognising this logo but it’s buried and i just can’t place it! What is it from again? I know I have seen it squillions of times.
It’s the AI Bird, it’s not redundant to say “AIB bank” as it stands for “allied investment birds” and pays homage to when headless birds (like chickens) were used to pick investment products and strategies.
Yeah I was an adult before I realised. Even though I know it’s a bird I still see the horse dragon by default.
I always thought the horse picture for this subreddit was a harp…
The name “AIB Bank” stands for
“Allied Irish Banks Bank”
Never noticed it before but now all I can see is that horse dragon.
On the app the bird is facing the other direction
I ALWAYS thought it was a horse dragon, couldn’t see the bird until a couple years ago, a smiling horse dragon at that.
You are not alone, I think I was 25 when I finally saw past the horse-dragon. I always thought it was a reference to one of those family crest things
As a kid, i always used to think this was a face, with an expression a bit like 🤨 !
It always looked like a man’s face with a beard and one eyebrow raised to me
I thought it was Pumba from Lion King
I always thought it was a seahorse harp. It was a very awkward admission a few years ago when I was informed at work that it’s a bird on a boat.
Made even more awkward by the fact I worked for AIB at the time.
Yeah you’re not alone I thought it was a weird face for a while

I always assumed it was some happy anchor
If you turn it upside down you can see the viking
32 and only seeing it now..
It’s a lot better than the previous logo which was basically a rip-off of the Mercedes logo –> https://www.pierkuipers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/alliedirishbank137.jpg
