About this griffin and key tactical round
Griffins guarded treasure in the old stories, which makes a griffin with a key an apt emblem for a security team that protects high-value sites. Red and yellow give the creature real heat against the black, and the tan border ties the whole round to coyote and tan tactical gear so it looks at home on a carrier as well as a polo.
Make it your team's: set your company and unit names in the lettering, reword the elite force line, tone the palette down to a subdued tan and black, or replace the griffin with your own 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.

Security tactical unit patch questions
Can the lettering name our own company and team?
Yes. The company name, tactical unit line and elite force line all restitch to your exact wording, shown on the proof before production.
Is there a subdued version for tactical kit?
Yes. A tan-and-black or gray-and-black build keeps the griffin readable while dropping the red and yellow; preview it in the markup tool.
Will a round patch fit our carrier's velcro panel?
At 3 to 3.5 inches it fits the standard loop panel on most plate carriers; order hook-side velcro backing for that placement.
Can the griffin be replaced with our logo?
Yes. Send a logo file, photo or sketch and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge, sized to sit where the griffin sits now.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the griffin or key, pin notes on the lettering, switch colorways. The marked-up design goes in with your quote.
