Arnhem Coat of Arms Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker features the iconic coat of arms (wapen) of Arnhem, a city in the Netherlands. The design is a vibrant representation of the city's heraldic emblem, rich in historical and symbolic meaning.

Central Design: The Shield

The focal point is the shield, rendered in a deep blue (lazuur). Dominating the shield is a striking double-headed eagle, depicted in silver (white). This eagle is a powerful symbol, dating back to seals from 1281 and coins of Count Otto II of Gelre, connecting Arnhem to its historical roots.

The eagle's beak and claws are highlighted in gold, adding a touch of regal elegance. This careful use of color emphasizes the eagle’s significance and enhances the overall visual appeal.

Above the Shield: The Crown

Crowning the shield is a gold crown, embellished with five fleurons. This signifies the city’s status and adds a decorative element of sophistication.

Supporting Elements: The Lions

On either side of the shield stand two majestic lions. They act as supporters, upholding the coat of arms. This adds a further sense of authority and reinforces the visual balance of the entire design.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is filled with symbolism. The double-headed eagle potentially alludes to the city’s name, "Arnhem," which may derive from "Arendheim" meaning "eagle home." This "speaking" symbol subtly connects the name of the city to the imagery itself.

The shield itself, along with the crown, represents the city's identity, history, and civic pride. The entire composition is a powerful emblem, visually declaring the heritage of Arnhem.

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.
