Academy Security Patch — Order This Marigold & Key Oval
Design S0683A at a glance
An oval in deep green and cream carrying a marigold bloom on a small shield with a key beneath it — garden heraldry for a campus that predates its security department by a century. The academy name and founding year ring the oval; the campus-security line anchors the base. Two colorways available.

About this academy marigold and key design
Private academies want security insignia that matches the crest on the gate, not the cruiser down the street — so this oval borrows collegiate heraldry: a bloom, a shield, a key, a founding year. Cream lettering on deep green reads as old-money as campus branding gets while staying stitchable.
The academy name, year and bottom line restitch to your institution, and the marigold swaps for your school's own flower or crest element redrawn from the seal. 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.

Campus Security Marigold Key Oval Patch questions

Yes. Send a photo, a scan of an existing patch, or a PDF and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. Your proof shows the redrawn artwork before anything is produced.
Can the lettering carry our exact wording?
Yes. Every text field on this design restitches to your company name, designation and motto — the mockup shows your wording in place before you commit.
Is this design available in other colors?
Yes. We embroider it in any palette, including subdued and blackout versions — preview colorways in the markup tool on this page and your quote references the version you picked.
What backing should we order?
Sew-on is the duty-uniform standard, iron-on suits caps and soft goods, and hook-side velcro lets one set of patches move between jackets and kit.
