EMS Agency Hexagon Patch — Order This Sunrise Ocean Wave Design
Design S1300A at a glance
A six-sided patch with a green merrowed edge, built around an ocean wave beneath a rising sun. The lettering runs in three parts: a service name, an EMS agency line and a motto line, all rewordable. Green, navy, light blue and white give it a coastal calm that stands apart from the red-and-blue look of most ambulance insignia.

About this sunrise ocean wave EMS design
Most EMS insignia lean on the Star of Life; this one leads with place instead. The sun rising over the wave says shoreline service and early shifts, and the hexagon outline gives the patch a modern, technical edge with no star points to fray or snag. Because the art carries no medical symbol, agencies can add a small Star of Life to the sun on their proof or keep the scene clean as shown.
Order it as shown or customize it: your agency name on the top line, Paramedic or Ambulance in place of the EMS line, a different motto below, or a navy field instead of green. 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.

EMS agency hexagon patch questions
Can a Star of Life be added to this design?
Yes. We can place a Star of Life inside the sun or beside the wave, redrawn to scale, at no art charge. Your proof shows the placement before anything is produced.
Can the EMS agency line say Paramedic or Ambulance instead?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches to your wording — service name, role line and motto — and the 4-hour mockup shows the exact text.
Will the wave detail hold up at sleeve size?
At 3.5 inches and up, yes. Below that we merge some of the finer wave lines on the proof so the stitching stays clean, and you approve it first.
What backing should we choose for EMS vests?
Hook-side velcro mates with the loop panels on most EMS vests and jump bags. Sew-on stays the standard for uniform shirts.
How do I mark up changes to this hexagon?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the sun or the wave, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up version rides along with your quote.
