The circular logo was designed by Robert Ballagh (Circa 1994, p. 22).

Free Derry Corner in red, with two new murals behind it: on the left, The Petrol Bomber, on the right, a 25th anniversary mural of Battle Of The Bogside. Lecky Road, Derry.
From Oona Woods’s Seeing Is Believing (plate 14), the red-and-yellow wall was … “A temporary transformation in 1994 by artist Colin Darke who painted the wall a socialist-related red and yellow to engender dialogue about its origins and current role in the community.”

Five images of a “Slán Abhaıle” mural, with British soldiers trooping back towards London, being painted on the back of Free Derry Corner, on Lecky Road, Derry. The piece is by Robert Ballagh, taking a famous photograph of British forces in the Falklands marching (“yomping”) towards Port Stanley and placing it in a circle (to suggest a closing eye, perhaps) below tricoloured party balloons. For the original photograph, see the IWM.
The image was also produced in the Short Strand (east Belfast), in Ardoyne, north Belfast, above the Sınn Féın offices/Sıopa Na hEalaíne in west Belfast, in Shantallow (Derry), and in Letterkenny.
