The result was a fresh new logo which was inspiried by the Martello Tower in Sandycove. Until our recent move, we were based on the sea-front only a stone's throw from the world-famous tower which features in the opening pages of James Joyce opus magnum, Ulysses.               The logo was created and designed by graphic artist and photographer Colin J. Traynor whose work can be found by clicking here . Colin's fine art and photography has a modern, international and smooth look to it. In the new logo, we feel that he has managed to incorporate a sense of Sandycove, James Joyce and the sea while still giving the logo a fresh modern look.        Where does the name "Annalivia" come from?                   The Martello Tower in Sandycove          Visit Colin J. Traynor's Website                 “O tell me all about Anna Livia! I want to hear all about Anna Livia. Well, you know Anna Livia? Yes, of course, we all know Anna Livia. Tell me all. Tell me now...”          Excerpt from Finnegans Wake, 1939          Annalivia was Joyce’s name for the river Liffey which flows through Dublin city. It comes from his book Finnegans Wake, also known as his “night book”, as in it he invents the language of dreams. This dream-like language, not fully conscious or formed, layered with multiple meanings, represents the sleeping mind at work. Although the language is “English”, Joyce universalises the “dream” by incorporating dozens of other languages and newly-coined words, puns and phrases, some completely crazy (!), some weirdly witty and some of outstanding poetic elegance. Of course, this is an overly simplified version of Finnegans Wake, but please do Click here for a link directly to an online encyclopedia reference to James Joyce.                 So, why "Annalivia" for an English school? Well, we believe that “Annalivia School” is perfectly appropriate for an English school situated in Dun Laoghaire , in “James Joyce country”, where English is taught to international students with languages from all over the world.               ADULT COURSES         If you would like to receive more info on our courses, click here CONTACT US               Annalivia School Limited, 1 Clarinda Park North, Dun Laoghaire, Co.
