Arms of South Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council (England) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This striking decal presents the meticulously crafted Coat of Arms of South Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council, a powerful emblem reflecting the region's unique heritage. The design is rich with symbolism, making it an instantly recognizable piece of heraldic art.

Design Elements and Meaning

The central shield, or "Arms," commands attention. A stark black field (Sable) serves as the backdrop, instantly referencing the crucial coal mining industry that shaped South Yorkshire. Across this field, a dynamic visual unfolds: a prominent zigzag pattern of red and white stripes (barry dancetty argent and gules). This bold pattern symbolizes the intense heat processing characteristic of the steel industry, a cornerstone of the region's industrial prowess. At the heart of the design, and on the black field, the elegant white rose of York (rose argent) makes a statement – a nod to Yorkshire heritage and the unity of the county.

Above the shield, the "Crest" depicts a white rose (rose argent) emerging from a red mural crown (gules), combined with a gold coin (bezant). This elegant fusion alludes to the wealth, both material and moral, that defined South Yorkshire's prosperity.

Flanking the shield are the "Supporters". On the dexter (right, from the viewer's perspective) side, a majestic golden horse (or) stands guard, its black mane and hooves (sable) providing contrast. It holds a red hoe (gules) in its forehoof, which represents the significance of agriculture to the local economy. On the sinister (left) side, a powerful black lion (sable) with a golden mane (or) supports a miner's pick-axe (gules) - a direct tribute to the mining industry that once defined the area's identity.

This design encapsulates the history and identity of South Yorkshire. It serves as an ode to its industrial roots, the values of its people, and the enduring ties to its Yorkshire heritage. The complex arrangement of these visual elements makes this decal a striking piece of symbolic art.

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.
