Arms of Bristol City Council (England) Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This vinyl decal showcases the intricate and historically significant design of the Arms of Bristol City Council. The artwork is a vibrant representation of the city's heraldic achievement, a symbol steeped in local pride and rich with symbolic meaning.

Shield Elements

The central focus of the design is the shield. The primary visual element within the shield is a castle with two domed towers, rendered in silver (argent). Each dome bears a banner emblazoned with the Cross of St. George, a direct reference to England and its patron saint. The castle itself stands on a green mound (vert), with water (proper) flowing at its base. A three-masted ship, depicted in gold (or), sails upon the water, its rigging in black (sable). The ship sails from a port in the right tower, its masts partially visible, with a sail set on the foremast and a furled sail on the mainmast.

Crest & Supporters

Above the shield sits the crest. This features two arms, intertwined in a saltire formation, issuing from clouds. The right hand grasps a green serpent (vert), symbolizing wisdom. The left hand holds a pair of golden scales (or), a direct representation of justice. Completing the composition are the supporters: two golden unicorns (or), depicted in a seated position. These mythical creatures, with their black hooves and manes (sable), reinforce the emblem's themes of strength and purity.

Symbolism in Detail

The entire design is a carefully crafted tapestry of symbolism. The castle represents Bristol Castle and signifies strength and fortification. The ship of three masts emphasizes Bristol's crucial maritime history and its identity as a prominent port city. The unicorns, traditional heraldic symbols, represent purity and strength. The crest, with its serpent and scales, reinforces the city's values of wisdom and justice. This sticker is a celebration of Bristol's heritage and its enduring civic identity.

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.
