What does the name ”Spinel” mean?
A new, more communicative name is part of a new future. Spinel is a red mineral (sometimes confused with a ruby), which gets its name from the Greek word for ‘spark’. Spinel Security Center is the place where rough crystal is polished and where the passion for controlling fire is passed on. ‘Spinel’ is also the name of the street where the Safety Center is located.
What does the logo mean?
The logo is based on the crystal Spinel. The crystal is the embodiment of the different angles a safety professional can observe from. The rough crystal equals the safety professional, whose facets are also polished at the safety center. The crystal consists of a wireframe, which stands for a conditioned environment with many vantage points, variables and scenarios.
