Patch Design for Various Units of the Armed Forces

Creating patches for military units is our way of contributing to the country’s defense. At the request of servicemen, we developed a distinct concept to give each unit its own visual identity — one that reflects their values, character, and courage. Our military identity design services are aimed at helping each unit present itself proudly and professionally, with a clear symbol of unity.

Our goal was to design patches that are not only visually strong, but meaningful — something every soldier can wear with pride. Through our custom military patches, we emphasize heritage, mission, and esprit de corps. We’re grateful to all who serve and honored to support them in this way through creative, thoughtful, and strategic visual storytelling.

Marine Corps Patch

We were approached by a Marine Corps unit with a request to create a custom military emblem. After reviewing their tasks and preferences, we designed a symbol that quickly received their approval. We aimed to craft something more than just a patch — something that would capture the spirit of the unit and meet professional military logo design standards.

The patch was developed in two versions: one for everyday use and one for dress uniforms. We paid close attention to every detail. At the center is a trident — a nod to Neptune’s weapon, symbolizing power over the sea and unstoppable strength. Behind it, ocean waves represent movement, readiness, and resilience. This kind of symbolism is central to our military patch design philosophy.

An anchor laid over the trident stands for stability, resolve, and loyalty to duty. The combination of elements reflects the Marines' tradition and purpose, created with our dedicated combat patch design service, which tailors each piece to unit history and mission.

Territorial Defense Unit Patch

This patch was created for a unit specializing in aerial reconnaissance, targeting, and fire adjustment. It’s a symbol of honor and skill — one that must be earned. Every element of the design reflects the identity and precision of the team, crafted as part of our tactical unit logo design offering for modern armed groups.

At the center is a raven — a bird often associated with wisdom, strategy, and sharp perception. In many cultures, the raven is seen as a messenger who sees what others cannot. For this unit, it represents their ability to pierce through the fog of war. These are the principles that drive our military identity design services, building meaningful and practical designs.

We added a wind rose to symbolize the unit’s broad reach and adaptability — a critical element in patch design for special forces that value agility and accuracy. The name “Black Raven Group” boldly anchors the design, capturing professionalism and psychological impact

Unmanned Systems Unit Patch

This patch represents a team that operates drones — fast, precise, and unrelenting. At its center is a hawk — a symbol of focus, strategy, and lightning-fast response. The hawk holds a missile in its talons, symbolizing lethal precision and technological edge, often represented in our custom military emblem creation process.

A key feature of the patch is the Latin phrase Carthago delenda est (“Carthage must be destroyed”). This historical reference reflects total commitment to mission success. These are the kinds of themes we frequently incorporate in our combat patch design service, blending tradition with modern warfare ethos.

We worked closely with the unit to reflect their character, mission, and values in the design — one that blends art and operational focus. This kind of collaboration defines our military patch design strategy, ensuring each symbol speaks with authenticity and strength.

Recon Unit Patch

We were honored to design a patch for a reconnaissance unit. The goal was to create something symbolic and bold, while staying true to the unit’s values and mission — an approach central to our patch design for special forces practice.

The central figure is an owl with outstretched wings — a traditional symbol of wisdom and insight, perfect for scouts who operate in the shadows and analyze the battlefield with precision. The owl holds a skull of an enemy soldier — a stark but powerful reminder of victory, sacrifice, and the harsh truths of war. These themes are often present in custom military patches, where visual storytelling is essential.

The background features a map of Ukraine with contested regions marked — a reflection of the country’s resilience. The space where the aggressor country would be left blank is a symbolic choice — and one that resonates with many of our military logo design clients. This emblem, developed under our military identity design services, speaks not only of duty and sacrifice but also of the hope that drives defense forces forward.
