Pine Tree EMT Patch — Order This Star of Life Maltese Cross Design
Design S1225A at a glance
A Maltese cross worked mainly in green with a red edge, carrying a star of life paired with a pine tree. The lettering holds the service name, the crew title, the division name and a two-word motto, and every line restitches to yours. Green is the draw: it marks the crew as rural or mountain-based at a glance and stands out in a navy-heavy ambulance bay.

About this pine tree and star of life EMT cross
EMS insignia are usually blue, so a green Maltese cross immediately says something different: this crew works among trees, hills and long rural roads. The star of life keeps the medical role clear, the pine tree gives the patch a sense of place, and red on the edge ties back to the emergency side of the job. Three thread colors keep it clean even at sleeve size.
Customize it for your squad: put your service and division names in the lettering, write your own motto, or swap the pine for a mountain, an oak or a river at no art charge. 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.

Pine tree EMT patch questions
Can the star of life be blue instead of white?
Yes. The traditional blue star of life works well on green. Switch it in the markup tool and your 4-hour mockup shows the change.
Can the pine become a different landmark?
Yes. Send a reference for a mountain, oak, river or building and we redraw it with the star of life at no art charge.
Can every lettering line carry our wording?
Yes. Service name, crew title, division and motto all restitch to your exact text, and any line can be dropped.
Is this design available for paramedics as well as EMTs?
Yes. Change the crew title to paramedic, EMS or ambulance and the rest of the design stays the same.
How do I request changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the pine, pin notes on each lettering line and switch colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote.
