During our 10th year of business, we still receive compliments and inquiries about the HighQuest shield and crest. We designed them using classic symbols and motifs to convey our beliefs in client-driven service and the importance of achieving customer success. The symbol of the shield itself suggests enduring strength and unwavering courage in the face of harsh challenges. The crest of the shield is divided into three sections. The top left corner of the crest contains the constellation of the mythical eagle Aquila. The bottom left corner contains three parallel, upwards-pointed arrows. The right side of the crest contains a variation of the MacLeod of Lewis tartan.
Aquila represents HighQuest’s client-driven service and the pursuit of client success. In Greek mythology, Aquila is an eagle who helps Zeus in his most pressing undertakings. One such task required Aquila to assist Zeus in battling the Titans to become the supreme ruler of Mount Olympus. As Aquila served Zeus, HighQuest strives to similarly assist its clients to make importance decisions about their strategies, investments, and governance.
The three parallel, upwards-pointed arrows represent HighQuest alignment with client business objectives. The three arrows represent our clients, our clients' stakeholders, and HighQuest Partners. The arrows are upwards-pointing to symbolize growth in revenues, volumes, profits, knowledge, and our relationships.
The final symbol on the HighQuest crest is a variation of the MacLeod of Lewis tartan. We feel that the tartan is a classic symbolic of the integrity and kinship that are inherent in our tightly knit HighQuest Partners and client teams. The ageless nature of the tartan reflects our team's depth of expertise and wisdom gained through experience, two key qualities that we leverage in each client engagement.
