Harris Security Agency is an Ottawa security firm that also teaches: patrols, event and executive protection on one side; Ontario security training and first-aid and CPR courses on the other. In 2023 the studio made its print set — a course-manual cover, a one-page introduction to the company, two course-completion cards and a contact card — all built around the gold shield the agency already wore.

01The shield
The badge was
already theirs.
Harris came with its shield: black, a gold rim, a laurel around the HSA letters and a pair of scales. We didn’t redraw it. We built the print around it instead — black for the ground, the shield’s gold for headings and rules, navy wherever someone fills a line in by hand.

02Course manual
The course leads.
The company signs it.
The cover of the workplace first-aid and CPR manual Harris teaches from. In print it stacked the company name, the course title and a partner badge at three competing sizes over a photograph. Re-set, the course takes the cover, the company signs it with the shield, and the three things Harris does — security services, training, products — sit in one line at the foot.
“A team approach” — the course’s own subtitle, and the only line on the cover set in gold.
The printed cover ran a stock photograph. The re-set drops it: the shield, enlarged, against fine gold rings.
03Company one-pager
Six services,
one page.
The page tells a prospective client everything at once: who Harris works for, from city government and embassies to schools and event organisers; six services, from patrols to alarm response; and how the courses are taught. The print version boxed six stock photographs in gold frames; the re-set drops them for the three lines of work and lets the list do the rest.

04Cards
Proof of the course,
sized for a wallet.
Two course-completion cards — one for first aid with CPR, one for CPR alone — with boxes to tick, lines for the instructor to fill in and a reminder to recertify every year. A contact card in the agency’s black and gold goes out with them.
Wallet size, 3.5 × 2 in.
Ticks and fill-in lines in navy, bands in night black — so what the instructor writes by hand reads apart from what was printed.
