After decades of blurry photographs, mysterious footprints, and questionable eyewitness accounts, we can finally confirm one thing: Bigfoot has been spotted in Medford, Oregon!
And apparently, he's developed an interest in Homeland Security Investigations.
Our latest project from the Huntzman Design Desk takes us to the Pacific Northwest, where we recently produced a custom 4-inch PVC patch for the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Resident Agent in Charge (RAC) Medford office.
And this time, the legendary Sasquatch isn't hiding behind a tree.
He's standing front and center, proudly displaying what might be the biggest fish story we've ever put on a patch.
The Legend of Bigfoot Lives On
Few creatures are as closely associated with the forests of the Pacific Northwest as Bigfoot.
For generations, stories of the elusive Sasquatch have circulated throughout the region, with alleged sightings, mysterious tracks, and countless attempts to capture definitive photographic evidence.
Naturally, we figured it was only a matter of time before someone gave him his own law-enforcement patch.
The centerpiece of this design features a rather impressive Bigfoot standing atop a rocky outcropping, triumphantly holding a large fish over his head.
Behind him, a moonlit Pacific Northwest landscape stretches across the design, complete with snowcapped mountains, dense evergreen forests, a peaceful lake, and a star-filled nighttime sky.
It's a colorful tribute to the natural beauty and folklore of southern Oregon.
And unlike most Bigfoot sightings, this one comes with remarkably good detail.
Following the Footprints
One of our favorite design elements is found along the outer border.
Surrounding the central artwork are four unmistakable Sasquatch footprints, incorporated directly into the black circular frame.
The upper rocker proudly identifies HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS, while the lower portion reads RAC MEDFORD.
The combination of official agency identification and regional folklore gives the patch a distinctive personality without losing its connection to the office it represents.
And those footprints?
Well, at least now we know who's been leaving them.
Case closed.
A Legendary Design in PVC
The finished patch measures 4 inches in diameter and was produced using PVC construction.
PVC is particularly well suited for designs like this because it allows us to reproduce intricate artwork using molded, raised, and recessed details.
From Bigfoot's textured fur and the contours of the fish to the surrounding mountain peaks, evergreen trees, and layered clouds, the material provides a level of definition that helps bring the entire scene to life.
The deep blues and greens of the Pacific Northwest landscape contrast with the earthy brown tones of Sasquatch, while the dark outer border keeps the agency identification prominent.
The result is a colorful, highly detailed patch that combines a little regional humor with the distinctive appearance of modern PVC insignia.
Not Your Typical Federal Patch
At Huntzman Enterprises, we produce everything from traditional regulation insignia to commemorative and specialty designs.
And while some projects call for a more conventional approach, others give us an opportunity to embrace a little creativity.
This was definitely one of the latter.
The HSI RAC Medford Bigfoot Patch is a great example of how an agency can incorporate local history, regional identity, and a bit of humor into a custom design.
After all, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun with your insignia.
Especially when your local celebrity happens to be an eight-foot-tall legend with unusually large feet.
Another Mystery Solved at the Design Desk
We're pleased to have produced this unique 4-inch PVC patch for HSI RAC Medford, bringing together one of the Pacific Northwest's most famous legends and a distinctive piece of custom law-enforcement insignia.
As for whether Bigfoot actually exists?
We're not getting involved in that debate.
But we can confirm that he's now appearing on a Homeland Security Investigations patch.
And unlike those grainy photographs from the woods, this Sasquatch is in full color, sharply detailed, and impossible to miss.
