Our Logo

We are fascinated by the powerful atmosphere advocated the symbol of the Spartan helmet. Our aim is to transform all these messages into our logo: elegant but martial, essential but majestic, precious but solid.

The Helmet - Representing Strength, courage, loyalty and power
The Shield - Representing our industry to defend, protect and shield our clients from danger or against attack.
The Laurel wreath - Representing victory, honor and protection

Our Logo and brand is a message about an ancient and noble world, made of courage and loyalty, of strength and poetry that forms the basis of our Industry of Close Protection and those who serve in it.
