The association of Irish magazine publishers is now known as Magazines Ireland. As part of their rebranding process designers in member magazine companies took part in a competition to design the new corporate logo which was won by Tony Temple from Zahra Publishing.

Magazines Ireland represents 43 Irish publishers who together produce over 200 magazines, both consumer and business-to-business titles. There are over 2,000 people directly employed in the magazine industry, with a further 9,000 jobs, such as freelance journalists, photographers and models, reliant on the sector.

Irish magazines compete with UK titles for space on the newstands. Yet despite this major competition, Irish titles continue to perform well and outsell all others in each category within which they compete.

A full list of members and their titles, including contact details and rate card information, is available on www.magazinesireland.ie.
