Badge of Burma (1939-1948) Vinyl Decal: A Visual History

This vinyl decal presents the official emblem of Burma (Myanmar) during its British colonial period, from 1939 to 1948. The design provides a window into the visual language employed during this era of Burmese history, a symbolic fusion of British colonial authority and Burmese cultural identity.

Central Shield and Symbolism

At the heart of the design lies a central shield, the focal point of Burmese representation under British rule. The shield often showcased the image of the peafowl, a prominent and iconic national bird of Burma, a potent symbol of the country's identity. Alternatively, the shield could feature a Chinthe, a mythical lion-like guardian figure deeply rooted in Burmese lore, or perhaps stylized depictions of palm trees, further emphasizing the Burmese landscape.

The Royal Crown and Colonial Authority

Above the shield, the presence of the Royal Crown of the United Kingdom leaves no doubt as to the political context of this emblem. This crown signifies the British colonial administration, representing the ultimate authority during this period. It is a visual cue of governance, woven into the national identity.

Supporting Elements and Inscriptions

The design may contain additional decorative elements, such as floral motifs or traditional Burmese patterns, which enhance the visual interest of the badge. Beneath the emblem, an inscription, most commonly “Burma” or “British Burma,” clearly designates the geographical area this emblem represents.

The overall style of the badge is a harmonious blend of British heraldic traditions and the cultural identity of Burma, conveying a historical snapshot of this period. This emblem served as a visual representation for government documents and currency.

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.
