DESIGN

The design for Gladiolus is based on the gladiolus flower, which in ancient times was worn by gladiators into battle. This was a perfect combination as a flower is generally associated as something beautiful and inviting, but is transformed into a strong presence. The gladiolus petals speak to the core values of the department: to protect with honor and integrity, while visitors gaze into the mirrored sphere on its interior, seeing themselves reflected as the community the department serves.
