About this Star of Life over ambulance octagon
The Star of Life tells people what you do; the ambulance under it tells them how you get there. Pairing the two on an octagon gives an EMS division a patch that reads at a glance across a scene, and the eight-sided outline keeps it distinct from fire-side rounds and shields on a combined department's uniforms.
Order it as drawn or adjust it: set your service name on the top line, rename the division tab, write your own motto, or redraw the ambulance to match your rigs. 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.

Star of Life ambulance patch questions
Can the ambulance be redrawn as our own rig?
Yes. Send a side-on photo of your unit and we redraw it beneath the Star of Life, keeping the octagon layout. The redraw appears on your proof first.
Can each division get its own tab?
Yes. Order several versions under one quote with only the division line changed; they all price at the combined quantity tier.
Can the motto be changed or removed?
Yes. The motto line restitches to any wording, or we drop it and enlarge the Star of Life. Your 4-hour mockup shows the result.
What backing should crews order for med vests?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with the loop field on most EMS vests and bags, so one patch moves between kit. Uniform shirts stay sew-on.
How do I mark up this octagon?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the star or ambulance, pin notes on each lettering line and switch colorways. The marked-up design attaches to your quote.
