About this iron gates and stone arch security shield
Open gates are a welcoming symbol, and pairing them with crossed keys says the welcome is watched over — a careful balance for a campus security department. The stone arch frames the gates like a real entrance, and the monogram makes the patch unmistakably the institution's own. Maroon, cream and grey keep it understated and academic, closer to a crest than to a guard-force badge.
Adapt it: swap the monogram for your initials, put your institution name across the top lines, reword the motto and department line, or redraw the arch as your own campus gate. 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.

Iron gate security patch questions
Can the monogram show our own initials?
Yes. The monogram restitches to your two or three initials in the same style, and the institution lines, motto and department line change to your wording. The 4-hour mockup shows all of it.
Can the gates be redrawn as our real campus entrance?
Yes. Send a photo of your gate or arch and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. The crossed keys stay in place unless you ask to move them.
Is this patch suitable for blazers?
Yes. At about 3 inches on a blazer pocket with sew-on backing, the maroon, cream and grey palette looks like a crest. Uniform sleeves usually take the 3.5 to 4 inch size.
Can the colors match our school palette?
Yes. Maroon, cream and grey can re-color to any school colors — preview them in the markup tool and the mockup will reflect your pick.
How do I mark up changes to the shield?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the gates or monogram, pin numbered notes on the lettering, and switch the colorway. Your marked-up shield travels with the quote.
