Afgewezen ontwerp van het provinciewapen Gelderland II 1893-1941 (Netherlands) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A Glimpse into Gelderland's "What Might Have Been"

This decal presents a captivating historical artifact: a rejected design for the coat of arms of Gelderland, a province in the Netherlands. Dating from 1893-1941, this artwork offers a unique perspective on the evolution of Gelderland's visual identity.

The Rejected Heraldry

The design, preserved from historical archives, showcases a full heraldic achievement. While the precise details of the design are not specified, a heraldic achievement typically includes a shield, helm, and lambrequins. It represents a different approach to the symbolism of Gelderland than the official coat of arms.

Symbolism and Significance

The design's significance lies in its "what-might-have-been" status. It represents an alternative visual language for the province, a potential emblem that was ultimately not adopted. This rejected design provides a fascinating glimpse into the decision-making process behind Gelderland's official heraldry.

The specific symbolism within this rejected design is not stated. Its value lies in the visual representation of Gelderland's history and offers a way for those interested in heraldry to appreciate the evolution of coats 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.
