Design Objectives

(select option at bottom of page to download graphics) We have used a stylised star resulting from the white space inside a circle of chevrons. It is used:

1. in place of/to represent the stars of the EU flag
2. as a representation of a Marshal’s Badge in order to communicate the Law Enforcement Agency aspect
3. because the star represents the Excellence in ‘Centre of Excellence’ which we believe is the key unique proposition

Where we have not explicitly used a star we have communicated (by using stylised chevrons)

1. a group coming together (networking) – and forming a star (excellence) in the negative ‘white’ space in the centre
2. the chevron used in this collected group (a V-shaped pattern in insignia, heraldry, flag design) is often a sign/badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank

We have taken care to ensure that these design proposals:

• will reproduce in single colours where necessary
• will work at large scale for exhibition, seminar, display situations
• can be reproduced at small sizes on business cards, pens etc.
• are also optimised for use on certificates/ badges/ lapel pins and
• will work in print and digital environments,
• and are modern (cybercrime is a modern phenomenon), fresh, crisp, are approachable but have a sense of authority.
