Ambulance and Helicopter Patch — Customize This Oak Maltese Cross Design
Design S1066A at a glance
A maltese cross with a white edge, carrying a star of life with an oak, an ambulance and a helicopter. The blue, gold and white palette keeps four motifs readable, and five lettering lines hold the service name, an emergency medical services line, an established year, a division line and a motto. It speaks for a service that runs both ground and air units.

About this ambulance oak and helicopter maltese cross
Few EMS emblems show both halves of a modern service, but this one includes an ambulance and a helicopter with the star of life, plus an oak that roots it in its community. The white edge brightens the cross against a dark uniform, and limiting the palette to blue, gold and white keeps four motifs from fighting each other at shoulder size.
Make it fit your fleet: redraw the ambulance and helicopter to your actual vehicles, put your service and division names in the lettering, or replace the oak with your own local tree or 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.

Ambulance and helicopter patch questions
Can the ambulance and helicopter match our vehicles?
Yes. Send side-profile photos of your units and we redraw both at no art charge. Your proof shows the new vehicles before production.
Can we drop the helicopter for a ground-only version?
Yes. We rebalance the emblem around the star of life, oak and ambulance and show the simplified version on your proof.
Can the division line change between orders?
Yes. Many services keep one art file and change only the division line, which means reorders move quickly.
Is the white edge practical on uniforms?
Yes. The white edge holds up through regular washing, and your proof shows which edge finish the cross gets. If you prefer a darker frame, gold or navy are options.
How do I mark changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the vehicles or oak, pin notes on lettering and switch colorways. Submit it and the marked cross arrives with your quote.
