5th Special Operations Squadron (U.S. Air Force) Holographic STICKER Die-Cut Vinyl Decal

This commemorative design is a circular unit badge honouring the 5th Special Operations Squadron of the United States Air Force, drawn in flat vector style with a rank of heraldic insignia.

Visual Elements & Composition

Navy blue fills the largest share of the badge, with white, crimson red, black and gold yellow arranged in a vertical tricolour. A black chevron sits at the centre, with a yellow lightning bolt striking through it. Pale blue squares are stacked in a pyramid beneath the chevron. A curved text band follows the rim, reading COMBAT SHADOW, and the unit designation 5TH SPECIAL OPERATIONS SQ is set in the same band. Gold appears only in small accents, so the navy and red carry the composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

The badge belongs to a unit that operates under the 919th Special Operations Wing and the Air Force Special Operations Command. Its lineage runs through three service periods: World War II (1944–1946), the Vietnam War (1965–1969), and 1994 to the present. The chevron and lightning bolt are classic heraldic insignia devices, and the circular badge format places the unit's identity at the centre of its own emblem. The curved band carries the unit's name and its COMBAT SHADOW designation, anchoring the artwork to the squadron's record across more than eight decades.

On the Holographic Die-cut Stickers

A die-cut sticker is cut to the edge of its own artwork, so the circular badge is the whole object, with no square backing to frame it. The curved text band and the chevron read as one shape at arm's length, and the pyramid of squares rewards a closer look. Placed on a laptop lid, notebook or any flat surface, the badge keeps its full outline and its command of the space it occupies.

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.

  1. Prep: clean the area with mild soap and water or 70% isopropyl alcohol; let it dry fully.
  2. Apply: peel, align, and press from the center outward with a card or squeegee to push out air.
  3. 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.
