Blackfriars Hall Oxford Coat Of Arms Sticker Design

This sticker showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Blackfriars Hall, Oxford, a heraldic emblem rich with Dominican history and its affiliation with the University.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element of the design is a shield divided in a unique pattern known as "Gyronny." The shield is partitioned into eight triangular sections, alternating between black and white, reflecting the traditional colors of the Dominican Order.

At the heart of the design lies a "cross flory," its arms terminating in fleur-de-lis. The cross is cleverly "counterchanged," meaning it's divided vertically, mirroring the alternating black and white pattern of the shield's background. One half of the cross is black, the other white, creating a visually dynamic effect.

Meaning and Representation

The design's core meaning is rooted in the "Black Friars," as the Dominicans are also known. The black and white sections of the shield and the counterchanged cross directly reference the friars' distinctive attire: a black cappa worn over a white habit.

The inclusion of the cross flory further symbolizes the Hall's deep connection to the Dominican Order and its longstanding presence within the academic environment of Oxford University.

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.
