Irishrailwayman Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Patrick Scott, one of Ireland's greatest artists, has died (1921-2014). He is perhaps best known to the Irish railway community as the originator of the classic CIE black/golden brown/white liveries. He did this creative work for CIE in the 1960s when he worked with the Signa design consultancy (a firm founded by Louis le Brocquy and Michael Scott in 1953). The story goes that Patrick was inspired by a cat he owned which had a coat with mixture of the livery colours! May he Rest in Peace. Edited February 15, 2014 by Irishrailwayman Typo on date Quote
Broithe Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 R.I.P. (Still the best livery - when I take over it will be back.) Mmm, I'll keep my eyes open for a suitable cat.... Quote
heirflick Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 agreed it is the bet livery...fair play to the man! didnt he design donnybrook bus depot? Quote
josefstadt Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Donnybrook bus garage and Busáras were designed by Michael Scott - no relation of Patrick Scott. The two did work together on the Busáras project where Patrick Scott was responsible for the design of the mosaics. Quote
