Achievement of Nassau Siegen, Protestant Branch (Coat of Arms) Sticker - Design Overview

This striking sticker showcases the "Achievement of Nassau Siegen, Protestant branch Princely Counts," a complex heraldic composition rich in symbolism. The design is a visual representation of the Protestant line of the Counts (later Princes) of Nassau-Siegen, a prominent family in the Holy Roman Empire and the early Dutch Republic.

A Quartered Shield of Lineage and Lordship

The central element is a quartered shield, meticulously divided to illustrate the family's extensive lineage and territorial claims. The first quarter features the classic arms of Nassau: a blue field sprinkled with gold billets, a gold lion, armed and langued in red. The second quarter displays the arms of Katzenelnbogen – a gold field with a red, crowned lion, looking toward the viewer. The third quarter signifies Vianden, with a red field and a silver horizontal band. The fourth quarter reflects Dietz, showing two gold lions passant guardant (walking with faces to the viewer) on a red field.

Inescutcheon: A Tapestry of Inherited Lordships

Over the main quarters is an inescutcheon, a smaller shield positioned in the center. This inescutcheon is itself divided into four sections, each representing inherited lordships. Limburg is represented with a silver field and a red lion. Bronckhorst is displayed with a red field and a silver lion. The Wisch arms show two red lions passant on a gold field, and Borculo is represented by three red roundels on a gold field.

Crests and Helm Decorations

The design further enhances its complexity with multiple helms and crests positioned above the shield. These crests, each corresponding to different ancestral arms, include elements like wings, demi-vols, a lion issuing, horse legs, and bear paws. This multitude of crests adds depth and further visualizes the diverse heritage and family alliances of the Nassau-Siegen princes.

Symbolism and Meaning

This achievement is more than just a collection of images; it is a meticulously crafted statement of identity and power. The design visually communicated the lineage and rights of the Protestant Nassau-Siegen princes, clearly differentiating them from the Catholic branch, and serving as a historical testament to the family's importance in European history.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
