About this design
What the design shows
A broad cross is divided into colored glass-like panels by thick black leading. A red circle sits at the center inside a thin gold ring. From that center, gold diamond panels extend along the vertical stem and horizontal arms, while deep blue fields fill the outer sections. Curved red pieces run beside the blue panels and turn upward into the pointed ends. Each arm finishes in a sharp, flared tip, making the silhouette resemble a Gothic window rather than a plain bar. The black boundaries keep every red, blue, and gold section separated, with no shading outside the flat color. The preview centers it upright on the upper chest, the top below the collarbones and the lower point toward the sternum, around palm size.

Placement
Placement and size
It is placed upright at the center of the upper chest, with the red medallion on the sternum and the cross arms reaching toward the pectoral edges. The symmetrical shape also suits the upper back, shoulder blade, outer thigh, or calf. A palm-width scale keeps the black panel lines and colored wedges clear. If reducing it, simplify the narrow curved red panels before shrinking the center circle. Align its top and lower points with the body centerline.
Patchwork
Building it into a patchwork
This is a saturated medium-weight color emblem with a strong central circle. It works as a chest focal point with smaller gold stars or blue rays farther out near the shoulders. Keep a narrow field of skin around every pointed arm end so the window-like profile remains clean. A small rose or candle can sit below the lower tip, but avoid additional red-and-blue geometry beside the arms. The bold black leading needs equally defined neighbors.
Small pieces that pair with it
- A small gold star above the top point
- Two short blue rays beside the side arms
- A red rose below the lower point
