Stira Folding Attic Stairs

The great debate, is the Stira logo so bad it’s good?

Yes our logo was created back in the 90s, no computers were involved, it was designed (not by a designer) using paper, pencil and a ruler. We are aware of its issues and have tried multiple times to change it, we have hired design companies, a number of companies have come up with alternatives, we have had design agencies offer to change it but we haven’t found something that would be a suitable replacement. None of them felt right to us.

Our reasons for keeping it;
• It’s been our logo for a long, long time.
• The founder of the company, and father to the current owners designed it.
• In a sea of similar modern logos it stands out like a sore thumb.
• It’s a very well known logo in Ireland.

Reasons we should change it;
• The reasons listed above.
• We are expanding into the UK and there’s no nostalgia for it over there.
• Someone on reddit said it makes it looks like we’re selling step ladders.

We are probably too attached to it to change it in Ireland, but should we change it for the UK market?

A.I jank hits the loft ladder market.
The poor ol’ A.I doesn’t seem to quiet understand what a loft ladder is, what it does. Or where it goes.

Here’s a collection of some of the worst offenders we have found online and across social media. If you have any more we’d love to see them.

A few images of the loft ladder installed in the attic roof, rather than the attic floor.
Timber folding ladders with no folds.

The arms at the side seem to confuse the AI completely, it has no idea what they do or what to connect them too.

Ladders that lead to nowhere.

At Stira we make our own loft ladders, we take our own pictures of those ladders, and we stand over our product with pride. Even our Facebook posts use either our own images, or stock images taken by real photographers.

We can manufacture a bespoke Stira with an offset ladder so that it can clear obstacles like banisters, stairs, or gaps.

A public protest will be happening on Saturday the 17th at 12 noon in our town of Dunmore. The people and businesses of Dunmore are demanding action be taken on bridge street. This street is well known to anyone that has ever had to pass through our town. It’s been a problem for as long as Stira has existed. It causes massive delays in getting through Dunmore, as well as damage to vehicles trying to thread their way through the narrow streets, but mostly it is a huge safety issue for pedestrians as this is the road many people in town use to bring their children to school.
We have been promised over and over again that action would be taken, but we seem to be going around in circles, every time it appears we get close to the finish line, the whole process goes back to the beginning, adding years onto the work that everyone has agreed, needs to be done.
We have been given the run around for too long on this issue. This street isn’t just a problem for the people of Dunmore; it affects people in surrounding towns that come to Dunmore or pass through the town. We are asking people in the aera to come to Dunmore and support the protest.
