The existing logo of the National Security Bureau (BBN), with an eagle integrated into the letter "N," was created in the early 2000s and, in 2009, underwent a restyling and modernization. However, it was clear that its archaic nature stemmed from the very concept, and further modifications to the design would add little. I was certain the eagle motif would have to be abandoned. Why? To avoid further chaos. There is still no established graphic template for the national emblem or rules for its use. This results in a proliferation of interpretations, both better and worse, in the symbols of state entities. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage is working on streamlining the symbolism of the Republic of Poland; pending the results, the BBN should not generate another variation of the White Eagle.
I proposed a purely typographic, systemic solution. The BBN is an advisory body to the head of state, and the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland uses the Nocturne typeface, designed by Mateusz Machalski, in its visual identity. The visual connection between these two entities was natural, and the new BBN identity was based on "presidential" typography. The crowned eagle was replaced by a subtle allusion to the national colors in a red underline.
