EMS Phoenix Shield Patch — Order This Rescue Unit Star Design
Design S1140A at a glance
A navy shield finished with a silver merrowed edge, where a red and white phoenix spreads its wings beneath a single star. Lettering lines carry the service name, a motto and the unit title, each ready to restitch to yours. The phoenix is a natural emblem for crews who bring patients back from the brink, and the red-on-navy contrast keeps the bird bold on a dark uniform.

About this phoenix and star rescue shield
A phoenix rising is the oldest image of recovery there is, which is why EMS and rescue crews keep coming back to it. This version keeps the bird in red and white so it reads as medical rather than fire, and sets a lone star above it as a point to rise toward. Silver edging and a navy ground give the shield a formal, issued-insignia feel without heavy gold.
Order it as drawn or rework it: set your service name and unit title in the lettering, rewrite the motto, or place a star of life where the star sits if you want the medical symbol explicit. 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 phoenix shield patch questions
Can the star above the phoenix become a star of life?
Yes. Mark the star in the markup tool and we swap in a star of life on your proof, at no art charge.
Can the unit title say something other than rescue unit?
Yes. All lettering lines restitch to your wording, including service name, motto and unit title, and the 4-hour mockup shows the layout.
Does the phoenix read as fire rather than EMS?
In red and white on navy it reads as rescue. If you want it clearly medical, add a star of life or a red cross to the shield.
What size should we order for shoulders?
Most services order 3.5 to 4 inches tall. At that size the phoenix feathers and lettering stay distinct.
How do I mark changes on this phoenix shield?
In the quote form, open the markup tool, circle the bird or star, pin notes and test colorways. Your marked-up shield is attached to the quote.
