The company's first stock was sold in 1879 as "Brink's Express Company," but the simpler name wasn't widely used until 1919 when the first non-Chicago Brink's branch was opened in Cleveland.
In 1927, Brink's logos began appearing on trucks and facilities that had previously been unmarked in a new strategy to deter robberies. "Money and Valuables, Safety and Dispatch" frequently bracketed the older shield logo, underscoring the company's increasing reputation for secure transportation.
