Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada Arms Sticker Design

This vinyl kiss-cut decal features the heraldic achievement of Universities Canada, formerly known as the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC). The design, officially granted by the Canadian Heraldic Authority, is a vibrant and symbolic representation of the organization's role as the national voice for Canadian universities.

Arms (Shield)

The central element of the design is the shield, "Argent, four pairs of maple seeds in saltire Vert." This heraldic description translates to a silver (Argent) field, upon which are displayed four pairs of green (Vert) maple seeds arranged in a diagonal cross (saltire). These maple seeds cleverly represent the organization's former initials, AUCC, while also immediately associating the design with Canada through the iconic maple leaf.

Crest

Above the shield sits the crest, comprised of a complex arrangement. The design features a closed book atop another closed book, both green, upon which rests an open book with pages colored naturally. The open book is further distinguished by a green maple leaf emblazoned on the right page, reinforcing the Canadian national theme and underscoring the organization's dedication to education, research, and community service.

Supporters

Flanking the shield are two imposing polar bears, symbolic of Canadian identity and strength. Each bear holds a feather, Argent penned Vert. They rest a hind paw on an Ionic capital, all set on a quadrangle Vert. These bears symbolize the protective and formative nature of education, while the Ionic capitals allude to the classical origins of higher learning, set within the familiar academic environment of the quadrangle.

Motto

The design is completed with the motto: "VOX ERUDITIONIS" – “A voice for higher learning.” This inscription further emphasizes the organization's mission to champion higher education in Canada.

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.
