Explanation of the Chambre’s Logo
After it was created, the Chamber had to find a visual identification all its own, one that would reflect the field of financial security and the six sectors it oversees.

The logo is based on a stylized "S" for "security", a key word in the Chamber’s name, and for "$", the symbol par excellence of the world of finance.

The upward sweep of the whole shape suggests vitality and growth. The six components that make up the whole represent the six sectors that are evolving in an orderly fashion, as part of a coherent training process.

The shape of the components that make up the logo evoke both money and documents, the basis of information for the profession. Because of its flowing shape, the logo resembles a flag waving in the wind, a symbol of pride and of belonging to a group of professionals who assert their presence and know how to take the place which is rightfully theirs.
