Badge of Malta 1943-1964 (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Decal - Design Description

This vinyl decal features the historic Badge of Malta, the official emblem of Malta from 1943 to 1964. The design is a powerful visual representation of Malta's identity during the late British colonial period, marking the years leading up to Maltese independence.

Central Elements: The Shield and Cross

At the heart of the design is a striking red shield. Dominating the shield's face is a prominent white Maltese cross. This cross is a direct link to Malta's rich history, particularly its association with the Knights of St. John, and serves as a powerful symbol of heritage and tradition.

Colonial Influence: The Imperial Crown

Above the shield, the British imperial crown takes its place. This element firmly anchors the emblem in its historical context, highlighting Malta's status as a Crown Colony under British rule. The inclusion of the crown signifies the ties between Malta and the British monarchy.

Encircling Honor: The Wreath

The shield is often encompassed by a wreath, typically composed of laurel or oak leaves. This encircling element signifies honor, sovereignty, and authority. The wreath provides a sense of completeness and reinforces the badge's official character.

Meaning and Symbolism

The Badge of Malta as a whole offers a symbolic narrative. It represents the intersection of Malta's historical roots with its colonial ties. The Maltese cross speaks to the nation's past, while the imperial crown reflects its present status. The entire design embodies the bridge between tradition and the evolving identity of Malta on its path towards independence.

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.
