Arms of the Seal of Manila Philippines (Coat of Arms) Sticker - Design Description

This sticker showcases the dignified and historically rich Arms of the Seal of Manila, the official coat of arms representing the capital city of the Philippines.

Shield Design

The central element is a shield, also known as an escutcheon. The upper portion, or chief, dominates with a vibrant red background. Upon this field strides a golden sea-lion, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the tail of a fish. The sea-lion, a symbol of courage and Manila's connection to Spain during the colonial period, is rendered in striking gold, representing wealth and prosperity.

The lower section, or base, typically depicts a representation of Manila Bay through a pattern of waves, often rendered in blue. This illustrates Manila's location on the coast and its deep ties to the sea.

Additional Embellishments

Some versions of the coat of arms may also feature a castle or fort, representing Intramuros, the historic walled city of Manila, a crucial part of the city's identity. Surrounding the shield, you might find laurel or palm leaves, symbols of honor and victory, further enhancing the prestige of the design.

Crowning the shield is often a mural crown, a traditional heraldic symbol signifying city status, reinforcing the civic pride embodied by this emblem.

Symbolism and Meaning

The vivid colors and carefully chosen elements are packed with significance. Red signifies courage and bravery, while gold represents prosperity. The sea-lion honors the city’s Spanish colonial heritage and its historical links to Spain. The representation of waves highlights Manila's maritime identity. Together, these elements tell a story of history, strength, and civic pride.

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.
