Ascension Parish Embroidered Patch Round with Detective Gold Star Louisiana Pelican Seal

Description

This round Ascension Parish embroidered patch was designed for the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office Detective division in Louisiana, featuring a bold gold seven-point star centered on a crisp white twill base with a full-color Louisiana state pelican seal inset and navy blue department ring lettering — a clean, authoritative design with strong institutional identity.

Shape & Base: Full circular shape on white twill fabric with a gold merrowed border edge. The bright white base is an uncommonly clean and striking choice for a law enforcement patch, giving the gold star and navy lettering maximum contrast and a sharp, badge-like quality across the entire composition.

Top Section: A rectangular navy blue banner with “DETECTIVE” embroidered in bold gold block lettering spans the upper portion of the star, positioned horizontally across the top two points of the star field — identifying the specific division role as the dominant text element at the top of the patch with strong navy-on-gold contrast.

Center: A large seven-point star in bright gold satin-stitch thread fills the center field, with each point radiating outward toward the circular patch edge. At the star’s center sits a large circular ring with “ASCENSION PARISH” arched above and “SHERIFF’S OFFICE” curved below in bold navy blue lettering, with “STATE OF” and “LOUISIANA” flanking the central seal in the ring’s inner band. Small dot separators are positioned between text segments within the ring. The inner seal features the Louisiana state pelican in full color — a white pelican with spread wings and bowed head feeding young in a nest, rendered against a light blue circular background with a red lower accent band, accurately depicting the official Louisiana state emblem with fine thread detail throughout.

Bottom Section: “S.O.I.” is embroidered in small bold navy blue lettering centered at the bottom point of the star beneath the ring, providing a concise Sheriff’s Office identification designation that completes the patch’s jurisdictional detail without cluttering the clean overall composition.

Embroidery Quality: The white base with all-gold star and navy lettering creates an exceptionally clean, high-contrast composition that reads more like a metal badge than a fabric patch — a deliberate and effective design choice. The seven-point star’s satin-stitch fill is smooth and consistent with sharp point definition. The Louisiana pelican seal achieves accurate state symbol detail at small scale — pelican, nest, young birds, and color bands are all individually rendered. The detective banner text is crisp and well-defined against the gold star background. The gold merrowed border provides a clean, durable circular edge finish suited for active detective uniform wear.
