Design S1742A at a glance
A custom-cut patch with a royal blue merrowed edge, layering a lighthouse over an open book, both set on a compass star.

About this lighthouse, book and compass star emblem
Three symbols, one message: the open book stands for the university, the lighthouse for guidance and safety, and the compass star for direction. Stacked together they give a campus police department an emblem that speaks to its community rather than borrowing municipal imagery. Royal blue is bright for a police patch, which suits a department that works alongside students every day.
Order it as shown or customize it: set the blue to your school color, replace the lighthouse with a campus tower or landmark, or reword the motto line. 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.

University police compass star questions
Can the lighthouse become our campus landmark?
Yes. A clock tower, gate, library or campus building can replace the lighthouse, redrawn from a photo at no art charge.
Can you match our school's exact blue?
Yes. Send a color reference and we choose the closest thread; your proof shows the match.
Can the motto be changed?
Yes. You can reword the motto, update the founding line, or remove either one entirely.
Is there a subdued version for carriers?
Yes. Gray or navy-on-navy builds keep the emblem readable on outer carriers. Preview them in the markup tool.
What size for polo chests?
About 3 inches. The proof shows it at actual size so you can judge the lettering.
