Campus Security Hawk Patch — Order This Compass Star Shield
Design S1477A at a glance
A shield cut with a red merrowed edge, centered on a hawk head laid over a compass star. Three lettering fields carry the department name, an established year and a motto. Red, black, gold and cream give it a school-spirit feel without leaning on a seal, so it works on officer polos as well as formal uniform shirts.

About this hawk and compass campus security design
A hawk on a compass star says watchfulness and direction — a good fit for a department whose job is keeping a campus oriented and safe. The composition is simple: one strong head over one strong symbol, with no busy seal competing for attention, which keeps the patch legible on a polo sleeve at 3 inches. Red, black, gold and cream lean toward school colors, and the red merrowed edge finishes the shield.
Adapt it by re-splitting the palette into your institution's colors, putting your department name on the top line, setting your founding year, or redrawing the hawk as your school's mascot. 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.

Campus security hawk patch questions
Can the hawk become our school's mascot?
Yes. Send a logo, photo or sketch of your mascot and we redraw it onto the compass star at no art charge. The proof shows the new head in place before production starts.
Can the colors match our institution?
Yes. The red, black, gold and cream split re-colors to your school palette — tell us the colors or pick them in the markup tool, and the mockup shows the result.
What lettering does this shield carry?
Three fields: a department name across the top, an established year, and a motto line. Each one restitches to your wording, and your 4-hour mockup shows the layout.
What size suits a polo shirt?
Around 3 inches tall on the chest. Sleeve patches for uniform shirts usually run 3.5 to 4 inches, and both sizes can go on one quote.
How do I show you what to change?
Mark it up directly on the design with the markup tool in the quote form — circle the hawk, pin notes on the lettering, switch the colorway — and the marked-up file attaches to your quote.
