Arms of Joseph II: Or Shield Variant Decal

This striking decal showcases the simplified heraldic representation of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor, known as the "Or shield variant." The design focuses on key imperial symbols, offering a powerful visual statement.

Design Elements

The central element is a shield of gold (Or), the traditional color of imperial power and wealth. Upon this field rests a majestic double-headed eagle in black (Sable). This imposing eagle represents the Holy Roman Empire, signifying Joseph II's position as Emperor.

A smaller shield, an inescutcheon, is placed on the eagle's breast. This inescutcheon features the arms of Austria: a red (Gules) field with a silver horizontal bar (a fess Argent). This highlights Austria as the dynastic heart of Joseph II's dominion.

Often, the design is further enhanced by a collar representing the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious chivalric order, subtly included, adding to the regal appearance.

Meaning and Symbolism

This "Or shield variant" is a streamlined yet potent symbol of Joseph II's imperial authority. The gold background symbolizes majesty, while the black eagle represents the vast reach of the Holy Roman Empire. The prominent display of the Austrian arms underscores the connection between the Emperor and his ancestral lands.

The design served as a recognizable emblem for coins, seals, and other displays, unifying the Empire while emphasizing Joseph II's personal ties to Austria, the heart of his power.

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.
