Triple A Security

A self-initiated logo design project for a security consultancy company.

Behind the project

‘Triple-A Security’ is a fictional security company that specialises in providing services across three domains: the physical space, digital space, and personal security.

They provide services to businesses and individuals.

They are looking for a new logo that encapsulates their professionalism and the quality in the services they provide.

They are looking for a scalable, simple, yet recognisable logo.

Ideation/sketch

With the direction of the design, I have opted to use geometric shapes to utilise shape design to convey what the company stands for and their professionalism.

Handwritten notes with sketches of a triangular tower, labeled with features such as a medium-sized top and a smaller base. Additional annotations note the tower's features and its resemblance to a pyramid or triangle, with rough sketches of the tower's different sides and a note about the tower feeling very clean.
Hand-drawn sketches of various geometric pyramid designs, some with shaded or detailed sections and others with abstract lines.
Hand-drawn sketches and notes on a piece of paper, with a ruler and a glue stick nearby.

Various different options arose during the ideation phase, but patterns did pop up. A commonality are the triangular and letter ‘A’ silhouettes.

Final Design

  • Equilateral Triangle, Pyramid-like silhouette

  • Nuance of ‘3s’ in the 3 segments and triangle

I have opted to go for a triangular silhouette due to triangles being perceived as a stable and robust shape. The shape of the equilateral triangle further adds to the rigidity. Since it is a geometric shape, it is repeatable and scalable. It stands out amongst other security companies due to many of them opting for a shield, eye, or key silhouette.

The triangle is segmented in 3 parts to signify the three domains in which Triple-A Security operates in, with cutouts the mimic the shape of the letter ‘A’. This leads to a silhouette of a pyramid, which signifies stability and longevity.

Mockups

Two business cards, one black and one white, placed on a small wooden block on an orange background. The black card reads "Leading Security" with contact information, and the white card has similar details with a slightly different design.
