About this starburst star of life ambulance design
The star of life is the most recognizable emblem in emergency medicine, but on its own it can look plain. Setting it on a starburst gives it motion and draws the eye to the center, while white, red and royal blue keep the palette clean and patriotic. With only three thread colors, the patch stays sharp at sleeve size and reproduces consistently across large orders.
Build on it however your service needs: put your service name and unit title in the lettering, rewrite the motto, or add a Rod of Asclepius at the center of the star, all at no art charge. 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.

Ambulance service star of life patch questions
Can we add a rod or caduceus to the star of life?
Yes. Most services add a Rod of Asclepius at the center. Mark it on the design and your 4-hour mockup shows it in place, at no art charge.
Can the motto line carry our own wording?
Yes. Service name, unit title and motto all restitch to your exact text, or the motto can be dropped.
Can we order this in two sizes?
Yes. Many services order sleeve and chest sizes in one quote; the art scales and we adjust ray count for the smaller size.
Is navy and gold available instead?
Yes. Navy and gold is a popular alternative. Switch colorways in the markup tool and your quote references the version you picked.
How do I send changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the starburst, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up version rides along with your quote.
