Great! Here’s a detailed concept for a Cabarrus County Fire Marshal’s Office patch focused on investigation and fire code enforcement: ⸻ 🔥 Patch Shape & Border: • Shape: Traditional shield or oval badge-style, symbolizing authority and public safety. • Border: Bold red or gold stitching to stand out, giving it a formal, enforcement-focused appearance. ⸻ 🔎 Centerpiece Imagery: • Eagle or Phoenix rising from flames, symbolizing resilience, justice, and fire recovery. • Overlay a magnifying glass focused on flame embers or a smoking structure—this subtly nods to fire investigations. • A set of balanced scales or gavel intertwined with a flame icon, symbolizing legal authority and code enforcement. ⸻ 🛠️ Tools and Symbols: • Helmet and crossed axes tucked behind the central image to retain fire service heritage. • Clipboard and checklist subtly worked into the background or side—representing fire inspections and code enforcement. • Optional: A flame-shaped badge number or code reference (like “NFPA 1” or “NC Fire Code”) woven subtly into the lower section. ⸻ 🏛️ Text Elements: • Top Arc: “CABARRUS COUNTY” in gold lettering. • Middle: “FIRE MARSHAL’S OFFICE” in bold serif font. • Bottom Arc or Banner: “INVESTIGATION & CODE ENFORCEMENT” – optionally flanked by small fire symbols or stars. ⸻ 🎨 Color Scheme: • Navy blue background for professionalism and contrast. • Gold, silver, and red highlights to reflect authority, fire service roots, and high visibility. • Black or charcoal See more
