Arms of West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council Sticker - Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the intricate and symbolic Coat of Arms of the former West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council, granted in 1975. The design is a vibrant representation of the county's identity and history.

The Shield (Arms)

At the heart of the design lies the shield. It presents a striking visual with two bold blue triangles (piles) converging on a gold (Or) background. These converging shapes cleverly form a stylized "W" representing West Yorkshire. Centrally positioned, a white rose (Argent), the traditional emblem of Yorkshire, is featured, complete with its natural barbs and seeds.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest features prominently. It includes a gold (Or) mural crown, signifying municipal authority. Upon the crown, a lion rampant guardant, divided per fess into red (Gules) and orange (Tenne) halves, stands proudly. This lion holds a white rose (Argent), further reinforcing the Yorkshire connection and symbolising strength and unity.

The Supporters

Flanking the shield are two magnificent lions, acting as supporters. One is depicted per fess in red (Gules) and black (Sable), armed and langued blue, and crowned gold. It is charged on its shoulder with a brilliant sun in splendour, gold. The other lion appears per fess in orange (Tenne) and green (Vert), armed and langued red, and crowned gold. This lion bears a white rose (Argent) on its shoulder, mirroring the rose on the shield and crest.

The Compartment & Motto

The entire composition rests upon a compartment representing the Pennine Hills, a nod to the county's unique geography. Finally, the motto, "By Effort Achieve," is a reminder of the county's commitment to progress and collective hard work.

This decal, therefore, is a richly detailed emblem that celebrates West Yorkshire's past, embodying its spirit of unity, strength, and civic pride through its artful arrangement of colors, shapes, and symbolism.

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.
