College Security Lighthouse Patch — Order This Rock and Waves Round
Design S1481A at a glance
A round patch with a navy merrowed edge, centered on a lighthouse standing on a rock, surrounded by waves and stars. The lettering carries the department name, an established year, a motto and a designation line. Navy, maroon, gold and white give it a classic school-crest feel that holds up on navy uniform shirts.

About this lighthouse and waves college security round
A lighthouse is the clearest picture of what a campus security team does: stays put, stays lit, and helps people find their way safely. This round sets it on a rock among waves and stars, giving coastal and lakeside schools an emblem that feels local without naming a place. Navy, maroon, gold and white lean into school colors, and the navy merrowed edge frames the scene cleanly.
Adapt it: re-split the palette into your school colors, put your department name around the ring, set your founding year and motto, or redraw the lighthouse as your campus's own landmark. 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 security lighthouse patch questions
Can the lighthouse be swapped for our own campus landmark?
Yes. Send a photo of your bell tower, gate or main hall and we redraw it on the rock — or without the rock and waves — at no art charge. The proof shows the scene before production.
Can the ring lettering carry our department and motto?
Yes. The department name, established year, motto and designation line each restitch to your wording. Your 4-hour mockup shows the ring set exactly.
Can the colors change to our school palette?
Yes. The navy, maroon, gold and white split re-colors to your school's colors; pick them in the markup tool or tell us the shades, and the mockup reflects them.
What backing works for officer polos?
Iron-on works for occasional wear, but sew-on holds up best through repeated washing. For patrol vests, choose hook-side velcro so the patch moves between garments.
How do I request changes to this design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form: circle the lighthouse, pin notes on the ring lettering, change the colorway. The marked-up version goes with your quote automatically.
