Ameland Wapen (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

Visual Overview

This decal features the historically significant coat of arms (wapen) of Ameland, a municipality in the Netherlands. The design is a shield divided vertically, creating two distinct halves.

Heraldic Elements and Meaning

The right half of the shield, the heraldic dexter side, presents a golden (or) background. Across this field are three black diagonal bars (bends) that extend from the upper right corner to the lower left. These bars are said to symbolize the three wooden beams that Amelanders are rumored to have stolen from the island of Terschelling, allegedly used to build a gallows.

The left half, or the heraldic sinister side, is colored blue (azure). It features a silver (white) waxing crescent moon. This moon is associated with a local legend and the "moonshine" of that story.

Above the shield, a golden crown tops the entire design, a symbol of civic honor and official recognition.

Historical Significance

The overall design reflects a combination of local legend and historical association. The three black bars and crescent moon are rooted in a traditional verse, connecting the design to a specific event in Ameland's history. The design is officially recognized and has a historical lineage back to the 15th century and the local chieftain Ritske van Jelmera.

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.
