Project Goal
To create a patch that fits naturally within the unit’s existing visual system while also standing apart as a symbol of recognition. It had to carry authority, but still feel like a unique marker of achievement.
Design Approach
By using sharp, angular typography, the design immediately picks up on the themes of speed, urgency, and control. That feeling was pushed further by keeping the layout bold and straightforward, with a strong focal point and clean, balanced details. To bring in a sense of motion, lightning bolts were added along the sides, echoing the typography and adding visual energy. A subdued, uniform-aligned palette helped everything feel cohesive, while small elements—like the car icon and outer ring—grounded the patch in its purpose.
