Where vigilante culture meets vernacular design
“Defender”, Sheffield: invader, actually
Posted by on June 30, 2012
“Defender” burglar alarm, Sheffield • Although small, this logo definitely portrays a Roman soldier – see the close-up, below. Bit of a weird concept for illustrating the firm’s name though, seeing as in Britain the Romans were invaders, rather than defenders. • Spotted: Brown Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Sheffield Central
