About this swords, key and compass round design
The compass star suggests coverage in every direction, the swords suggest protection and the key suggests access control — a clean summary of what a protective-services firm does. Round patches also sit neatly on caps and polo chests, not just shoulders.
Put your company name in the ring, retitle the operations line, recolor the field to black or maroon, or swap the swords for your company logo.
