Arms of Oxfordshire County Council 1949-1976 (England) (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal features the historically significant Coat of Arms of Oxfordshire County Council, used from 1949 until the council's reorganization in 1974. The design is a rich tapestry of heraldic symbols, offering a visual narrative of the county's history, geography, and values.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element is the shield, bearing an azure (blue) background, which subtly references the esteemed University of Oxford. Across the shield, two argent (white) wavy bendlets cascade, artfully depicting the River Thames and its crucial tributaries that traverse the county.

Within the shield, a golden (or) garb (wheatsheaf) and a golden oak tree, the garb positioned in the chief and the oak tree in base, represent the county's agricultural heritage and the importance of its woodlands. In the center, in the fess point, a gules (red) ox's head caboshed is proudly displayed, a direct nod to the etymological origin of "Oxford" – reflecting its historic county town.

Above the shield, the crest presents a mural coronet, a classical symbol of municipal authority. From this rises a vert (green) mount, upon which stands a detailed representation of St. George's Tower, Oxford Castle, in its proper colors. Azure mantling, doubled argent, elegantly surrounds the crest.

On either side of the shield stand Oxford Down rams, their bodies colored "proper" (in their natural colors). Each ram is adorned with an azure collar, upon which a wavy argent bar is set, adding another layer of visual detail.

Below the design, the motto "Sapere Aude" (Dare to be wise) emphasizes the county's enduring commitment to intellectual pursuit, and education, a clear connection to the county's renowned university.

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.
