About this lion rampant university security badge
University security teams wear the institution's name, so the patch should look like it belongs to the institution. This design borrows the language of academic heraldry — a lion rampant, a shield with a book and torch — and adds crossed keys, the symbol of custody, for the security role. The result fits beside the university crest on a blazer or a duty jacket.
Design it around your institution: set your university or college in the name line, update the year, write your motto, or redraw the shield with your own institutional symbols. 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.
