Design S0972A at a glance
A navy shield with a silver gray edge, carrying a griffin with a shield, a columned building, an open book and laurel, all in silver gray.

About this griffin and columned building shield
Columns are the architecture of the academy, and setting a columned building with a guardian griffin is a direct way to show a department that protects an institution. The open book and laurel complete the academic picture. Stitching everything in silver gray on navy keeps a detailed emblem calm and orderly, and it reads as near-subdued on darker uniforms.
Customize it: your university name and founding year, your service and values lines, your own campus building redrawn from a photo, or a different guardian figure. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — proof within 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

University police officer patch questions
Can the building be our own campus hall?
Yes. Send a photo of your library, chapel or administration building and we redraw it in the same position at no art charge.
How many lettering lines does this design hold?
Six: university, department, year, two values lines and a campus safety line. Each one restitches, and any can be dropped to simplify the patch.
Is silver gray subdued enough for tactical gear?
It reads quietly on navy uniforms. For full subdued we also stitch tan, OD green and blackout versions.
Could our mascot stand in for the griffin?
Yes. Your mascot or crest can take the griffin’s place with the building and book kept, redrawn stitch-ready from any file.
Can we add color to the design?
Yes. The emblem can be stitched in full color with your school colors, quoted alongside the two-tone version.
