New Forensic Services Branding
At the awards ceremony Forensic Services launched our new bilingual Forensic Services logo and visual identity which has been developed internally by the Graphics Manger at Police Scotland. The logo and visual identity reflect how Forensic Services deliver world leading forensic science from the crime scene to the court and has been designed to complement the new SPA Corporate logo.
The logomark is based around a series of open concentric rings which illustrate how the number of different specialisms in Forensic Services work together under a common umbrella. The concentric circles represent a puzzle or a code that needs to be solved. They also relate to the focusing of a microscope or the scope of a firearm target and also hints at fingerprint marks – all of which are of central importance in forensic science. The new branding will be rolled out across Forensic Services and with partners on a no-cost replacement basis.
