"Securitech" burglar alarm, Southwark • I've shown a similar one with a red bulb here – this one's just as strikingly stripey, and and it's still a fave. • Spotted: Bermondsey Street, Southwark, London, SE1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bermondsey and Old SouthwarkNetwork, Oxford: sigh
"Network Security & Alarms Ltd" burglar alarm, Oxford • Sigh. It's got a triangle on it. 'Nuff said. • Spotted: Cornmarket, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Oxford EastChoice, Hackney: essay
"Choice" burglar alarm, Hackney • Another triangle-circle combo, this time channelling the ever-popular pizza-cum-Pacman furrow. This one's more Pacman than pizza, and they've practically written an essay on it, in really tiny type. • Spotted: Charlotte Road, Hackney, London, EC2, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Hackney South and ShoreditchAltech Security, Westminster: scalene
"Altech Security" burglar alarm, City of Westminster • Shamelessly repeating, due to its triangular trope, a company I very recently featured here, with a different shaped box. Completing our trio of triangle types, it's a scalene triangle, with no equal sides (I think – I'm not about to measure it). But we can be sure the internal angles still add up to 180 degrees. Snore! • Spotted: Berwick Street, City of Westminster, London, W1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Cities of London and WestminsterAstrotech, Islington: astronauts
"Astrotech Security" burglar alarm, Islington • A highly-wrought computer game-style design attempting to conjure up technology so advanced it's used by astronauts. Or something. • Spotted: Whistler Street, Islington, London, N5, England, 2005 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Islington NorthStarnet Security, Borehamwood: sci-fi
"Starnet Security" burglar alarm, Borehamwood • A deceptively sci-fi name (and font) for a dull design from boring Borehamwood. • Spotted: Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, WD6, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of HertsmereQuantum Security, Westminster: atomic
"Quantum Security" burglar alarm, City of Westminster • Judging by the name, this is possibly meant to represent an atom. But it looks like Saturn, so I've included it under astronomy too. • Spotted: New Cavendish Street, City of Westminster, London, W1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Cities of London and WestminsterWeb Security Systems, Edinburgh: creepy
"Web Security Systems" burglar alarm, Edinburgh • A spider's web - now that's just downright creepy. Quite striking, though. • Spotted: Thistle Street, Edinburgh, EH2, Scotland, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Edinburgh North and LeithRobot, Camden: serf
"Robot" burglar alarm, Camden • And finally, the ultimate computer: a 1980s New Romantic-style robot. (I know I've included Robot before, but this is a slightly different logo.) Wikipedia pop fact: the word robota means literally "serf labour" in Czech. • Spotted: Well Walk, Camden, London, NW3, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Hampstead and KilburnPlexnet, Bristol: computery
"Plexnet Networking and Digital Technology" burglar alarm, Bristol • I have no idea what a plexnet is, but it sounds digital and computery, so I'm including it here. • Spotted: St Nicholas Street, Bristol, Avon, BS1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bristol WestSim, Glasgow: smartphone
"Sim" burglar alarm, Glasgow • Not just an unexplained acronym, but an early computer game (Sim City et al), and the heart of every mobile phone, whether smart or stupid. • Spotted: Brook Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, G40, Scotland, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Glasgow CentralMicro-Vision, Stroud: throwback
"Micro-Vision Fire and Security" burglar alarm, Stroud • Maybe a throwback to the days when computers were called micros; or maybe just a claim to catch very small burglars. • Spotted: Threadneedle Street, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of StroudAmiga, Camden: picobyte
"Amiga" burglar alarm, Camden • Ancient home computer alert – I seem to remember Amigas were popular with musicians in the early 1990s, because you could create a whole album using about one picobyte of memory. Thus adding relevance to the weird spotlight logo, which is probably meant to look like it's shining on burglars. • Spotted: Tavistock Place, Camden, London, WC1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Holborn and St PancrasPC, Stratford-upon-Avon: minimalist
"PC Security" burglar alarm, Stratford-upon-Avon • Three popular security tropes in one minimalist logo: police and thieves, locksmithery, and of course computers. I think we can leave political correctness out of it. • Spotted: Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, CV37, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Stratford-on-Avon Morse, Camden: sleuthing
"Morse Security" burglar alarm, Camden • A giant felon's fingerprint on a shiny light-up bell box – how great! The name suggests the sleuthing of Inspector Morse, but of course also evokes morse code - which is a kind of computing. So I stand by including it in my maths theme. • Spotted: Greville Street, Camden, London, EC1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Holborn and St PancrasCode, Lambeth: console
"Code Security Systems" burglar alarm, Lambeth • Judging by the logo, I think they mean computer code – the look is very early 1990s console game (or possibly a reject from a gay rave club). • Spotted: Beehive Place, Lambeth, London, SW9, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Dulwich and West Norwood
Logic, Westminster: deduction
"Logic Fire & Security" burglar alarm, City of Westminster • Says Wikipedia: "Logic (from the Greek logikē) has two meanings: first, it describes the use of valid reasoning in some activity; second, it names the normative study of reasoning or a branch thereof. In the latter sense, it features most prominently in the subjects of philosophy, mathematics, and computer science." And thus, by use of the former definition, I deduce that it is a valid member of my maths and computing set. • Spotted: Newman Street, City of Westminster, London, W1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Cities of London and WestminsterMatrix Security, Brighton: array
"Matrix Security" burglar alarm, Brighton • Has lots of connotations, including an incomprehensible and increasingly crappy film franchise. But it's also a mathematical term, meaning a rectangular array of elements. And the word offers designers the chance to use a giant 'X', which is always good. • Spotted: Surrey Street, Brighton, East Sussex, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Green constituency of Brighton PavilionRadius, Lambeth: chariot wheel
"Radius" burglar alarm, Lambeth • In classical geometry, the radius of a circle or sphere is the length of a line segment from its center to its perimeter. The name comes from the Latin radius, meaning 'ray', but also the spoke of a chariot wheel. And it's also one of the two sub-elbow arm bones, so called because it rotates around the other one, the ulna. Thanks, Wikipedia! • Spotted: Sail Street, Lambeth, London, SE11, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of VauxhallAbacus Integrated Systems, Camden: iterations
"Abacus Integrated Systems Ltd" burglar alarm, Camden • Abacus seem to have had about a million different designs and logos, most of which I found studded all over a building in Kings Cross which has just been knocked down. This one looked like the most recent iteration – quite a change from the naive abacus A of yesterday. • Spotted: Britannia Street, Camden, London, WC1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Holborn and St PancrasAbacus, East Grinstead: depleted
"Abacus" burglar alarm, East Grinstead • Today I move on to maths and computing with the oldest computer of all, an abacus – known to ancient Mesopotamians long before burglar alarm engineers got in on the act. Loving the way the A is actually made out of a (somewhat bead-depleted) abacus on this. • Spotted: London Road, East Grinstead, West Sussex, England, 2004 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Sussex MidRVTV Security, Chelsea: wibbly
"RVTV Security" burglar alarm, Kensington and Chelsea • More camera techiness, this time with a TV-themed sounder. At least I assume the unexplained acronym refers to security TV: it's a pretty dull old logo, and the grey globe gives no clue at all. Unless it represents a giant bouncy ball that wibbles out and squashes you, like in The Prisoner. Now that would be a good burglar deterrent. • Spotted: Beauchamp Place, Kensington and Chelsea, London, SW3, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of KensingtonSecurity Surveillance Ltd, Hackney: boom-box
"Security Surveillance Ltd" burglar alarm, Hackney • Finally, a couple of camera-based techy alarms. At least I think this is meant to be a camera, it looks more like an early 1990s boom-box, or some kind of radar gun. • Spotted: Nazrul Street, Hackney, London, E2, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Hackney South and ShoreditchAlarm Vision, Cardiff: spiky
"Alarm Vision" burglar alarm, Cardiff • This is great. I love the way the Welsh feel driven to put red dragons on everything – and how can you not like a tiny mythical creature poncing around in a spiky monogram-cum-waveform? • Spotted: Quay Street, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, CF10, Wales, 2012 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Cardiff CentralScan, Merton: bubble lettering
"Scan Alarms" burglar alarm, Merton • Dig that crazy bubble lettering – not the world's most sophisticated rendition of the concept of scanning, to be sure. • Spotted: Merton High Street, Merton, London, SW19, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of WimbledonACS, Westminster: scary
"ACS" burglar alarm, City of Westminster • Wow, these are impressive all-encircling waveforms, like something from a scary 1950s sci-fi movie. Bring on the theremin music! • Spotted: Duke of York Street, City of Westminster, London, SW1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Cities of London and WestminsterMatrix, Aylesbury: waveforms
"Matrix Fire & Security" burglar alarm, Aylesbury • Now for a few sounders which demonstrate their techiness via the medium of waveforms, which here appear to emit from a worryingly low-tech megaphone. • Spotted: Cambridge Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of AylesburyCommunicate, Tower Hamlets: musical
"Communicate Security & Communications" burglar alarm, Tower Hamlets • The term telecoms is beginning to sound a bit old-fashioned: these days we communicate by many online means (though not via burglar alarm, to my knowledge). This musical mauve C looks more like a logo for a caring, sharing PR company, though. • Spotted: Redchurch Street, Tower Hamlets, London, E2, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Bethnal Green and BowCMR Electrical, Bristol: tiny
"CMR Electrical Telephone Bristol" burglar alarm, Bristol • A tiny, tiny old logo with a giant telephone number. It's too small to make out here, but the logo is a wee house surrounded by a giant chain and keys. • Spotted: Small Street, Bristol, Avon, BS1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bristol WestTcom, Oxford: abbreviation
"Tcom" burglar alarm, Oxford • An abbreviation for telecom, geddit? And an unexplained acronym, if it stands for anything else. • Spotted: New Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Oxford EastTelecom Security, Southwark: imitation
"Telecom Security" burglar alarm, Southwark • The design of this suggests British Telecom (as was), though I daresay it's flattery by imitation. Again, not sure if it's any relation of yesterday's Telecom Direct. • Spotted: Arches, Ewer Street, Southwark, London, SE1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bermondsey and Old SouthwarkTelecom Security Direct, Camden: striking
"Telecom Security Direct" burglar alarm, Camden • Now we move from tronics to telecoms, also quite a popular technical trope. The word Telecom gets bandied about quite a bit, so not sure if this striking old sounder is the same firm as the later Telecom box featured here. • Spotted: Flask Walk, Camden, London, NW3, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Hampstead and KilburnSomer 2000, Bristol: anvil
"Somer 2000" burglar alarm, Bristol • A really unusual name and logo, which looks like a 1980s retro-futurist illustration of a communist-era anvil. However it may go back further than that: the Somer 2000 website informs us that the firm incorporates the vintage-sounding Sutton Transformers, whose logo this seems to be (note the S and T). The former were founded in 1995, the latter in 1975, so I'm not sure where the 2000 comes in (if it was meant to sound futuristic, they underestimated their longevity). I still think that's an anvil, with the lightning bolts shooting out – perhaps they made their transformers in a forge. • Spotted: Merchants Road, Bristol, Avon, England, 2013 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bristol WestAlarm Services, Stroud: bolt
"Alarm Services" burglar alarm, Stroud • A massive lightning bolt – just the kind of electrical effect you don't want from your sounder... • Spotted: Kendrick Street, Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of StroudGarfield, Borehamwood: random
"Garfield" burglar alarm, Borehamwood • I can only assume this totally random logo is some kind of wiring schematic. • Spotted: Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of HertsmereAC Controls, Cambridge: alternating
"AC Controls" burglar alarm, Cambridge • AC as in alternating current, to judge by the waveform. • Spotted: Regent Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of South CambridgeshireWestronics Reading, Lambeth: Greek
"Westronics Reading" burglar alarm, Lambeth • Another "tronic" alarm: in fact the word is a Greek suffix referring to a device, tool, or instrument. • Spotted: Lower Marsh, Lambeth, London, SE1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of VauxhallSteel Tronics, Southend-on-Sea
"Steel Tronics" burglar alarm, Southend-on-Sea • The non-word "tronics" somehow has a retro ring to it, redolent of 1970s-80s hi-fi stores. That said, I quite like this confident leaning logo. • Spotted: Town centre, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, 2007 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Rochford and Southend EastBM Electronics The Alarm Man, East Grinstead: retro
"BM Electronics The Alarm Man" burglar alarm, East Grinstead • An item of retro electronic splendour – they don't make 'em like this any more. • Spotted: London Road, East Grinstead, West Sussex, England, 2004 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Sussex MidTriton Electronics, Edinburgh: dangerous
"Triton Electronics" burglar alarm, Edinburgh • Triton was the Greek messenger god of the seas. Not sure what that's got to do with electronics – it sounds like a dangerous mix. • Spotted: Moray Place, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH3, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Edinburgh North and LeithUK Electrical (Eastern Ltd), Lowestoft: wordy
"UK Electrical (Eastern Ltd) Security Division" burglar alarm, Lowestoft • Not sure if this wordy title is yet another electricity company, or just the name of the security firm. • Spotted: Town centre, Lowestoft, Suffolk, England, 2007 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of WaveneySouthern Electric, Islington: 1980s
"Southern Electric Security Systems" burglar alarm, Islington • This is a very 1980s-looking illustration, though I daresay the alarm is more recent. Whether it's the same Southern Electric as this electricity firm – now with very different look – I have no idea. • Spotted: York Way, Islington, London, N1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Islington South and FinsburyLondon Electricity, Southwark: plug
"London Electricity Security Systems" burglar alarm, Southwark • Now for a few electronic-themed sounders. You still see quite a few of these London Electricity alarms around, usually pretty faded. Though it remains a familiar logo (a plug made of L and E, geddit?), it's an old one – the firm actually became LEB in 1990. • Spotted: Tyers Gate, Southwark, London, SE1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bermondsey and Old SouthwarkBritish Security Technologies, Islington: heartbeat
"British Security Technologies" burglar alarm, Islington • Looks more like a heartbeat monitor (a dirty one). • Spotted: York Way, Islington, London, N1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Islington South and FinsburyEurotech, Aylesbury: baton
"Eurotech" burglar alarm, Aylesbury • A very ancient Eurotech; looks like one of those "baton" alarms on its side. • Spotted: Kingsbury, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP20, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of AylesburyEuro Tech, Derby: older
"Euro Tech" burglar alarm, Derby • Don't know if this is the same firm as yesterday's Eurotech; that was one word, this is two. It's older and crapper-looking, that's for sure. • Spotted: Town centre, Derby, Derbyshire, DE1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Derby SouthEurotech, Camden: heady
"Eurotech" burglar alarm, Camden • Ah, the heady days before the Euro crumbled. • Spotted: Covent Garden area, Camden, London, WC2, England, 2004 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Holborn and St Pancras
Altech Security, Lambeth: flag
"Altech Security" burglar alarm, Lambeth • As in All Tech, perhaps? The black "flag" design works well within this delta shape, though it's a bit weird repeating the name twice. And it makes me think of Back Flag cockroach traps (or Roach Motels as they charmingly call them in the USA). • Spotted: Lower Marsh, Lambeth, London, SE1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of VauxhallAaron Hi-Tech, Bristol: sad
"Aaron Hi-Tech" burglar alarm, Bristol • Sadly well past its hi-tech days – there are a couple more here. • Spotted: Town centre, Bristol, Avon, BS1, England, 2006 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bristol WestLongtek, Old Coulsdon: mosaic
"Longtek Security Systems" burglar alarm, Old Coulsdon • That's Tek as in Tech, I presume. And a nice mosaic monogram, too. • Spotted: Coulsdon Road, Old Coulsdon, Surrey, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Croydon SouthTritech, Glasgow: thrice
"Tritech Security Systems" burglar alarm, Glasgow • Thrice technical, but not very exciting. • Spotted: Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2, Scotland, 2012 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Glasgow CentralTechnica Systems, Southwark: technical
"Technica Systems" burglar alarm, Southwark • Perhaps they didn't have enough room to write Technical. The only one of these I've ever found. • Spotted: Borough High Street, Southwark, London, SE1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Bermondsey and Old SouthwarkTEC, Derby: crackers
"TEC" burglar alarm, Derby • They should have called it TUC, like the crackers. They've got a yellow cover, too. • Spotted: Town centre, Derby, Derbyshire, DE1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Derby SouthSecuritech, Islington: football shirt
"Securitech" burglar alarm, Islington • Today we move from science to technology, one of burglar alarm land's favourite tropes. I really like this striking old design, which looks like a stripy football shirt. • Spotted: Camden Passage, Islington, London, N1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Islington South and FinsburyPrism, Lambeth: refraction
"Prism" burglar alarm, Lambeth • A transparent object which refracts light, from ancient Greek prisma, meaning "something sawed". Also featured on the cover of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" LP, which this resembles. • Spotted: Sail Street, Lambeth, London, SE11, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of VauxhallLaser Alarms, Westminster: acronym
"Laser Alarms" burglar alarm, City of Westminster • Acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. And a very nice logo (seriously). • Spotted: Great Portland Street, City of Westminster, London, W1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Cities of London and WestminsterCobalt, Walton-On-Thames: pigment
"Cobalt" burglar alarm, Walton-On-Thames • Starting today: scientific sounders. Cobalt is a chemical element with symbol Co and atomic number 27, used to make blue pigment since antiquity. And a burglar alarm company. • Spotted: New Zealand Avenue, Walton-On-Thames, Surrey, KT12, England, 2002 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Esher and WaltonSouthern Electrical Services, Westminster: SES
"Southern Electrical Services Gerrards Cross" burglar alarm, City of Westminster • SES, not quite as famous as the SAS. • Spotted: Berners Street, City of Westminster, London, W1, England, 2012 • Politics: In the Conservative constituency of Cities of London and Westminster
