3d Field Investigations Squadron (U.S. Air Force) Holographic STICKER Die-Cut Vinyl Decal
This design reproduces the insignia of the 3d Field Investigations Squadron of the U.S. Air Force, a heraldic emblem built around a dragon, a globe, and a torch.
Visual Elements & Composition
Royal blue dominates the field and gives the badge its authority. A crimson dragon sits at the centre, flanked by a silver globe drawn with grid lines and a golden torch with a flame rising from its top. The main emblem is set inside a circular badge, and a curved grey banner runs across it carrying the text ARTEM INVENIENDI VERITATEM and 3D FLD INVESTIGATIONS SQ. Clean outlines and a symmetrical layout keep every element readable at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
The Latin motto translates to "the art of discovering truth," which states the squadron's investigative mission in its own words. The globe marks the unit's worldwide field reach, while the torch stands for knowledge brought into dark places. The dragon is a classic heraldic guardian, signalling vigilance and resolve. Together these figures follow the conventions of military insignia, where each element carries a role and the whole reads as a statement of purpose.
Cut to the Shape of the Badge
A die-cut sticker follows its own outline, so the circular badge becomes the sticker itself, with no border to frame it. The holographic finish runs a rainbow shimmer across the royal blue and silver, which lets the globe grid and the torch flame catch light as the surface moves. Placed on a laptop lid, a notebook cover, or a toolkit case, the emblem keeps its full silhouette and its banner text stays legible up close.

Holographic vinyl decals with a high-contrast rainbow sheen, printed with eco-friendly inks on premium, weather-rated film. Waterproof, UV-protected, and available in five sizes.
Built to turn heads and hold up outdoors. These holographic decals use premium printable vinyl topped with a UV-protective laminate. The film is rated for multi-year outdoor exposure, so the color stays bold and the surface resists scuffs and sun fade.
- Signature finish: a 99% opaque rainbow effect that shifts with angle and light—clean edges and a smooth, matte-sheen feel rather than a mirror gloss.
- Waterproof: designed for rain, splashes, and regular washing on smooth, non-porous surfaces.
- Eco-conscious printing: vibrant, high-density color produced with eco-solvent inks for sharp lines and rich gradients.
- Color guidance: no white underbase is applied; pure white areas won’t print, and very light tones allow the holographic layer to show through. Darker tones deliver the strongest contrast.
- Easy-peel backing: release liner separates cleanly for quick, bubble-free placement.
Made for smooth surfaces: glass, metal, coated plastics, sealed laptops, bottles, mirrors, lockers, and windows. Suitable for interiors and short-term exterior spots like vehicle windows or signage.
- Prep: clean the area with mild soap and water or 70% isopropyl alcohol; let it dry fully.
- Apply: peel, align, and press from the center outward with a card or squeegee to push out air.
- Set: allow 24 hours for the adhesive to reach full bond; avoid heavy moisture during this time.
Tips: Avoid heavily textured or silicone-coated surfaces. For curved items, apply slowly and don’t stretch the film.
- Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth from the center outward to lift dust and grime.
- Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or pressure washers that can dull the holographic layer.
- If placed on bottles or mugs, hand-wash is recommended. Prolonged high-heat cycles can shorten adhesive life.
Available in five sizes. Measurements refer to the longest side of the decal. A “3 inch” option is 3 inches across its largest dimension; the die-cut follows the exact contour for crisp, professional edges.
