Arms of West Dorset District Council (England) Vinyl Decal

This striking vinyl decal presents the heraldic achievement of the former West Dorset District Council, a captivating emblem rich with symbolism and historical significance.

The Shield: A Division of Heritage

The shield's design is divided into a pattern of green and red segments, mirroring the district's composition. The red areas represent the former boroughs and urban districts, while the green symbolizes the rural districts. Dominating the center is a Saxon Cross, an evocative nod to the region's historical Saxon heritage.

The Crest: A Coastal Guardian

Above the shield rests the crest, a majestic sea wyvern, a dragon-like sea creature, perching on a wreath. This wyvern is depicted in silver, its wings a radiant gold. It clutches an upright ostrich feather, also silver, with a gold pen. The sea wyvern reflects Dorset's coastal connections, while the ostrich feather often represents concepts like truth, faith, or learning.

Supporters: Sentinels of the Coast

Flanking the shield are two more sea wyverns, mirroring the one in the crest. These supporters are also silver, with golden wings and wear golden Saxon Crowns. They stand on a compartment composed of realistic graded pebbles, firmly grounding the design.

A Visual Tapestry

The artwork is a carefully constructed tapestry of heraldic symbols. The vibrant colors and dynamic forms combine to create a visually compelling design that speaks to the history, geography, and values of the former West Dorset District.

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.
