About this owl, oak tree and torch shield design

Owls and torches are academic symbols — wisdom and learning — so this shield reads as a campus patch before anyone gets close enough to read it. The black field gives the gold owl strong contrast, which matters for officers who work evening shifts on dimly lit quads.

Swap the institution name and motto, change the division tab to your department name, recolor to your school colors, or replace the owl with your mascot redrawn from a logo file. 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 Security Owl Oak Torch Shield Patch questions

Can our own emblem replace the owl, oak and torch artwork?

Yes. Send a photo, a scan of an existing patch, or a PDF and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. Your proof shows the redrawn artwork before anything is produced.

Can we use our school colors instead of black and gold?

Yes. Give us your school's color codes or a logo file and we match thread to them — the mockup shows the recolored shield before anything is produced.

Can the lettering panels carry our exact wording?

Yes. Every text field on this design restitches to your campus security department name, designation and motto — the mockup shows your wording in place before you commit.

Is this design available in other colors?

Yes. We embroider it in any palette, including subdued and blackout versions — preview colorways in the markup tool on this page and your quote references the version you picked.

How do I request changes to this design?

Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle elements, pin numbered notes, switch colorways, and place your own emblem on the patch. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
