Lettering names a college and university, a campus police department, two founding years and two short mottos, all of which restitch to your wording.

About this griffin and rising sun castle arch
The silhouette does the work here: twin castle towers around an arch evoke a collegiate gate, so the patch announces a campus before anyone reads a word. Inside, the griffin with key, torch and book layers security, learning and access, while the rising sun suggests a new day on campus. Green and maroon read collegiate, not municipal.
Tailor it to your institution: set your college and department names and real founding years in the lettering, recolor green and maroon to your school colors, or redraw the towers after your own campus gate. 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.

College police shoulder patch questions
Can the outline match our campus gate?
Yes. Send a front-on photo of your gate or towered hall and we redraw the arch and towers to match at no art charge.
Why are there two founding years in the lettering?
Many institutions record both the school's founding and the department's. Both lines restitch to your real years, or one can be removed.
Can green and maroon change to our school colors?
Yes. Any school colors work; the mockup shows the arch in your palette before production.
Will the towers hold their shape at shoulder size?
Yes — at 3.5 inches and up the battlements stay square with a hot-cut edge. Below that we simplify the tower tops.
How do we request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the griffin, sun or towers, pin notes and switch colors. The marked-up version attaches to your quote automatically.
Comparing campus designs with other police patches?
