Badge of British Guiana (1875-1906) Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker showcases the historical Badge of British Guiana, a visual testament to the colonial era of what is now Guyana. The design, a precursor to the modern Coat of Arms, is a fascinating glimpse into the past.

Central Imagery and Symbolism

The central element of the badge is a visual narrative of British Guiana's identity. Expect to find a ship, perhaps a sailing vessel or a riverboat, signifying the importance of waterways and maritime trade for the colony's growth and prosperity. This symbolizes exploration, commerce, and the connection to the wider world.

Further enriching the composition are representations of the colony's vital agricultural products. Sugar cane and possibly rice are often depicted, highlighting the dominant industries of British Guiana during this period. These elements underscore the economic foundations of the colony and its dependence on these resources.

Often, a shield topped with a crown may be incorporated to directly reflect British colonial authority. The crown's presence establishes the colonial status and the allegiance to the British monarchy.

Overall Impression

The overall impression of the badge is one of industry, trade, and colonial presence. It’s a snapshot of a particular moment in time, encapsulating the essence of British Guiana as it existed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The design is rich with historical significance, serving as a powerful visual reminder of the area’s colonial past and its transition into the independent nation of Guyana.

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.
