About this EMS district ocean wave and moon badge
Ocean waves place this district on the water; the moon nods to the crews who run calls through the night. Set with a star of life, the two motifs make an emblem that feels calm rather than urgent, a deliberate contrast to the lightning-bolt energy of many EMS patches. The three-color palette keeps the waves crisp and the moon clean against navy.
Fit it to your district: put your district and division names in the lettering lines, replace the motto, or swap the moon for a sun if day crews want their own version. 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.

Who orders this design

EMS ocean wave patch questions
Can the division line name our district unit?
Yes. All four lettering lines — district name, established year, division and motto — restitch to your wording and appear on your proof.
Can you add our own lighthouse or pier?
Yes. Send a photo and we redraw it with the waves at no art charge. The proof shows the new scene before anything stitches.
Can the moon glow in the dark?
Yes. Glow-in-the-dark thread is available for the moon or the star of life, and your quote lists it as a thread option.
What size is right for jacket backs?
Nine to eleven inches tall. The waves open up at that size and the lettering lines get more breathing room.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the moon or waves, pin notes on the lettering, try colorways — and send the marked badge with your request.
