Design S1091A at a glance
A navy-edged round in navy, blue, red and silver with a single emblem at center: a star of life laid on a compass star. Lettering around it names the paramedic service and its division, adds a three-word motto and closes with a founding year — a simple layout that a newer service can make its own quickly.

About this compass star paramedic round
Laying the star of life on a compass star gives one strong emblem with two readings: medical care, and a service that heads out in every direction. Because there is only one central symbol, the round stays legible at small sizes, which is why it works on caps and chest placements as well as sleeves. Silver highlights keep the navy-and-blue palette from feeling heavy.
Newer services often use it nearly as shown, changing only the name, division and year. Others add a city outline or local landmark behind the compass to make it place-specific. 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.

Paramedic star of life round patch questions
Is this layout good for a cap patch?
Yes. With one central emblem it stays readable at 2.5 inches, so many services order a cap version alongside the sleeve patch.
Can we add a landmark behind the compass?
Yes. Send a photo and we add it to the design at no art charge; the proof shows the result.
Can the border be silver instead of navy?
Yes. Pick any border color in the markup tool.
Our division name is long — will it fit?
Usually. We adjust letter size and spacing on the proof so long names fit the ring cleanly.
How do we request changes?
Use the markup tool to circle elements and leave notes, or describe them in the quote form.
Want more detail than a single emblem?
A one-emblem round is the simplest option we stitch. The EMS patch gallery beyond this compass star paramedic round includes detailed scenes, crests and crosses. For materials, backings and pricing, the custom patch guide for compass star paramedic emblems on caps and sleeves covers the details.
