About this atom and compass star college safety shield
An atom over a compass star is not the usual public safety emblem, and that is the point: it tells you this team protects a science, engineering or research campus. Laurel branches add academic honor, and the compass star suggests guidance and direction. Maroon and gold with black framing is a classic collegiate palette that sits well beside school athletics colors.
Customize it for your college: name and department title in the lettering, your own motto, your founding year, or the atom swapped for a book, torch or mascot. 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.

College public safety atom patch questions
Can the atom be swapped for our campus emblem?

Yes. Any motto in any language restitches on the shield, and your proof shows the exact wording.
Can we use our college colors?
Yes. Swap maroon and gold for your colors and preview them in the markup tool before requesting a quote.
Will the atom's orbit lines stay sharp?
At 3.5 inches and up the orbits stay clean; below that we thicken them slightly on the proof.
