University Police Keystone Patch — Order This Lighthouse, Gates and Oak Design
Design S1854A at a glance
A keystone-shaped patch stitched in navy and gold with a gold merrowed edge, built around three campus landmarks: a lighthouse, iron gates and an oak tree. Five lettering fields hold a name, a university police line, a year of service and a short two-part motto with a closing word. The two-color palette keeps it formal, and every line of text restitches to your department.

About this lighthouse and iron gates keystone design
Pairing three landmarks in one emblem tells a story: the lighthouse for guidance, the iron gates for the campus entrance, and the oak for growth and permanence. It's the kind of scene a university department chooses when it wants the patch to feel rooted in the grounds it protects. The keystone outline adds architectural weight, and stitching everything in navy and gold gives it the restraint of an academic seal.
Order it as shown or adapt it: put your institution name on the top line, set your own year of service, rewrite the motto, or redraw the gates as your campus's own entrance arch. 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.

University police keystone patch questions
Can the lighthouse be replaced with our campus landmark?
Yes. Send a photo of your clock tower, chapel or main hall and we redraw it into the scene stitch-ready at no art charge. The gates and oak stay unless you ask us to change them too.
What lettering does this keystone carry?
A name line, a university police line, a year of service and a short motto with a closing word. Each one restitches to your exact text, and the mockup shows the wording set in place.
Does a keystone patch fit a standard uniform sleeve?
Yes. At 3.5 to 4.5 inches tall it sits where a shoulder shield would, and the wide top gives your department a shape other agencies on campus won't share.
Is the two-color palette fixed?
No. Navy and gold is shown, but any two or three thread colors work. Match your school colors from a photo, or preview a subdued version in the markup tool.
How do I mark up the changes we want?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle each landmark, pin notes on the lettering and try other colorways. The marked-up version is attached to your quote for our artists.
