Description
This round police embroidered patch features a bold riverside design highlighting the iconic Mississippi River crossing, designed for the Bettendorf Police Department—serving one of Iowa’s thriving Quad Cities communities in Scott County along America’s greatest river.
Shape & Base: Classic circular shape approximately 4″ in diameter, featuring a deep navy blue twill outer ring with bright gold merrowed border edge that creates a distinguished, medallion-style appearance.
Outer Ring: The navy blue border displays “BETTENDORF POLICE” arching across the top and “DEPARTMENT” curving along the bottom in bold gold block lettering, establishing clear municipal and departmental identification with excellent contrast.
Center: A striking circular scenic emblem showcases the iconic I-74 suspension bridge—the modern cable-stayed landmark connecting Bettendorf, Iowa to Moline, Illinois. The bridge’s distinctive twin towers rise prominently against a light gray and blue sky, with detailed suspension cables extending outward in accurate engineering detail. The bridge deck spans across the composition, rendered in precise black line work. Below, the blue waters of the Mississippi River flow beneath the structure. “IOWA” appears prominently in white block lettering against the blue water, anchoring the state identification within the scenic design.
Color Palette: The design employs navy blue, gold, light blue, white, and black in a clean composition that balances the architectural detail with clear text legibility.
Embroidery Quality: The patch demonstrates excellent stitch density with impressive architectural detail in the bridge rendering. The suspension cables show accurate geometric spacing, while the twin towers display clean vertical lines. The water gradient creates depth beneath the structure, and the gold merrowed border ensures durability for daily patrol wear.
This design represents quality custom embroidery celebrating Bettendorf’s identity as a Quad Cities gateway community connected by the modern I-74 bridge across the Mississippi.
