Acquoy Wapen (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Decal: Design Details

This vinyl decal showcases the historic coat of arms, or "wapen," of Acquoy, a village in the Netherlands. The design is a faithful representation of the official heraldic emblem used historically for identification and symbolic representation.

Shield Elements

The central element is a shield (escutcheon) with a silver (white) background. Across this field, two horizontal bands are displayed. These bands are rendered in a striking red color and feature a crenellated, or battlement-like, pattern, reminiscent of castle walls.

The Chief and Its Symbol

In the "chief," or upper section, of the shield, there is a prominent running greyhound. This elegant canine figure is depicted in black (sabel in heraldic terminology), adding a bold contrast to the overall design. While the origins of the dog symbol are somewhat mysterious, it's a key element of the Acquoy coat of arms.

Meaning and Heritage

The coat of arms embodies the historical identity of Acquoy. The crenellated bands are linked to the noble House of Arkel, a significant medieval family with ties to the area, connecting the design to a rich historical narrative. This decal is a visual tribute to the heritage and history of the village, captured through the symbols of its official coat of arms.

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.
