Design S0533A at a glance
A red maltese cross trimmed in gold with a pine tree rising over crossed axes in the center disc, and the four arms open for department wording and unit number.

About this pine tree and crossed axes design
The red-and-gold maltese is the oldest fire insignia formula there is, and the pine-over-axes center plants it in timber country — a combination departments on the wildland-urban interface order because their work is genuinely both. Keeping the palette to two colors is what lets the center art stay crisp at cap size.
Make it your company’s: department name across the upper arms, unit or station number below, and the pine can redraw as your region’s dominant species — lodgepole, ponderosa or fir all stitch differently. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Crossed axes fire patch questions
Can the arms carry our department and unit number?
Yes. The upper arms take the department name and the lower arm the unit or station number — all set in the proof before production.
Can the pine be redrawn as our local species?
Yes. Tell us the species or send a photo and we redraw the silhouette — a ponderosa reads very differently from a fir, and the proof shows it.
Is there a wildland-subdued version?
Yes. The same art stitches olive-and-black for deployment wear, and both colorways count toward one quantity break.
Why only two colors?
Economy and clarity. Two-color designs price at the bottom of the embroidery scale and keep the center art sharp at every size — more colors are available if you mark them.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the pine, note the arm text, switch schemes. Your markup attaches to the quote automatically.
