The new Chief of Police wanted the department’s uniform patch updated and wanted a badge design similar to the Police Officer’s Association Badge, particularly with the new eagle top. This patch redesign required that the city seal be recreated from existing, old artwork. Below is the best copy of the original they could provide. To do the recreation required doing substantial research to identify certain elements in the supplied image that could not be properly recreated without knowing what the original object was and what it actually looked like. Seals often contain elements from history which can make locating images a challenge. Once the seal had been recreated it was incorporated into the patch shape and color matched. The badge redesign simply changed a few elements on the Police Association badge. A side benefit to this work was that the police department would now have clean and clear artwork to use in print materials such as business cards and other media.

Various photos of the area from the city website, Chamber of Commerce and elswhere fill in the gaps in detail missing from the original New city seal as redrawn in Xara vector software, which I highly recommend. Incorporating the city seal back into the patch design was fairly straight forward. some elements did differ because the redesign remained more faithful to the actual scaling and proportion of certain elements to the actual item.
