OUR HISTORY
The Guardian Brand Throughout the Years
Over Seventy Years of Experience
Guardian Protection might look a bit different than we did in the 1950s, but we’re still the same neighborhood security protectors. We have always been aware that when you know everything that you care about is protected, you feel good, confident, and at ease. Fortunately, one company makes it easy to get the smart security solutions that you can truly depend on — that’s us. Guardian Protection.
Because at the end of the day, Life Is Better When It’s Safe.
Where it All Began
In 1975, a Pittsburgh entrepreneur bought a small security company started in 1950 by a jeweler needing a store alarm. He renamed it Guardian Protection Services, growing it through hard work. His efforts paid off, earning Guardian respect and recognition. In 1991, the Armstrong Group acquired and merged it with their security company, Mastertech, keeping the Guardian name.
A Look Back at Our Logos
We may have changed our appearance over the many years we have been in this business, but our mission has always stayed the same.
Pre-2014
Guardian Protection — originally known as Guardian Protection Services — continues to be the family-owned business that it was when founded in 1950. Since the start, we have been protecting homes and businesses with professionalism and state-of-the-art technology. These early days are best marked by our original logo, which sported magenta chevron lines and a purple font.
2014 – 2019
In 2014, we decided to begin rebranding our recognizable logo. However, we still stayed true to the original logo’s concept by maintaining the chevron accents and brand coloring.
2019 and On
In more ways than one, things began to look a lot different in 2019. During this year of change, we redesigned our logo to incorporate new shield imagery and put aside the red chevron accents. With this rebrand, our colors became more distinct and reflective of a strong and growing security provider. Our emphasis on purple represents a feeling of strength, energy, and ambition that our team exemplifies every day. Though Guardian Protection Services is still our legal name, to simplify and strengthen our branding, we began embracing the name Guardian Protection.
