Behind the Symbols: The Story of Our Logos

May 6, 2025

At Black Boots Technology, our name carries a weight that reflects our journey from a simple idea to an innovative force in building safety and demonstrates how sometimes the most fitting names come from unexpected places.

Black Boots

In late September 2023, amidst a career transition, a simple idea sparked: could artificial intelligence generate a safety case report? This question marked the early development of the now known AI solution, BB-SCR, however, initially the temporary name ‘Black Boots’ was used for the product. This initial name also reflected the military backgrounds of the founders.

Despite exploring various AI-themed alternatives for the company name, Black Boots was favoured. The name ‘Black Boots’ resonated with the team, as it embodied their fundamental approach to being bold, leading, adaptable, committed and knowing.

Just as sturdy boots symbolise dependability in military service, the company stands for trustworthy, robust solutions in building safety.

Today, the Black Boots logo distinguishes us among our competitors. It has become a symbol in representing our commitment to innovation while staying grounded in practical, reliable service.

We’re excited to share the story behind two symbols that have become integral to our identity: the BB-SCR and PropGuard logos. These distinctive designs aren’t just visual elements; they’re carefully crafted representations of our commitment to innovative building safety and resident engagement. Each logo embodies both the specific purpose of its product and Black Boots’ broader mission to revolutionise the built environment through intelligent technology.

The BB-SCR logo visually unites technology and building safety. The network of nodes, shaped like a building structure, embodies our AI’s ability to weave together complex data points to create a comprehensive overview of your building’s safety. The circular design signifies our dedication to a comprehensive, all-around safety perspective, and the prominent shield underscored our dedication to building safety compliance.

PropGuard

The PropGuard logo powerfully demonstrates our resident-centric approach to building management. The circular design illustrates the continuous flow of communication, connecting property managers and residents. The proud building icon represents more than just building structure, it’s a comprehensive central hub safety and resident engagement meet. The strategically placed resident figure underscores our unwavering commitment to a people-first approach.
