Blasone Malatesta (Italy) Vinyl Decal: A Heraldic Masterpiece

This striking vinyl decal showcases the iconic Blasone, or coat of arms, of the powerful Malatesta family of medieval Italy. The design is a visual testament to their legacy, rich with symbolic meaning.

Quartered Shield: A Divided Heritage

The core of the design is the quartered shield, meticulously divided into four sections. The first and fourth quarters feature a striking visual of three golden-haired heads against a vibrant green background. These heads are a cornerstone of the Malatesta heraldry, open to multiple interpretations, including representing the family's resilience or the legacy of important figures.

The second and third quarters present a pattern of diagonally striped bands, alternating between black and gold. This creates a contrasting visual element that complements the first and fourth quarters.

Embattled Border: A Fortress of Identity

The shield itself is encircled by a silver and black "embattled" bordure, a border with a distinctive sawtooth or stepped edge. This design element adds a sense of strength and fortified identity to the coat of arms.

Motto & Symbolism: Strength and Resilience

Associated with the Malatesta family is the motto, “Elephas Indus culices non timet,” ("The Indian elephant does not fear mosquitoes"). While not directly included in the central shield design, this motto evokes imagery of the powerful elephant, undeterred by small annoyances. The entire design therefore embodies strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

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.
