University Campus Security Patch — Order This Cross & Lamp Shield
Design S0840A at a glance
A navy shield with a gold border, centered on a cross with an open book and a lamp, in navy, gold and cream. Lettering is minimal — a university name, a campus security line and a founding year — so the emblem carries the design. The cross, book and lamp give it a faith-and-learning tone that fits religiously affiliated campuses, and every line restitches.

About this cross, book and lamp campus design
Campus security at a faith-based university should look like it belongs to the institution, and this shield borrows directly from academic and religious heraldry: a cross, an open book and a lamp of learning. Cream and gold on navy feel scholarly rather than municipal, which helps campus officers come across as part of the community they serve.
Customize it for your campus: put your university name and founding year on the lettering, recolor it in school colors, or replace the cross with your institution's seal. 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.
