Cambridge University Heraldic and Genealogical Society Coat of Arms Sticker

This striking vinyl sticker proudly displays the officially granted Coat of Arms of the Cambridge University Heraldic and Genealogical Society (CUHAGS). Designed by heraldic artist Stanley Bannerman, the design is rich in symbolism, reflecting the society's core values and academic focus.

The Escutcheon (Shield)

The central element, or escutcheon, is a golden field ("Or") bearing a "cross pean"—a black cross. This represents the society's dedication to heraldic study and its ties to the University of Cambridge. Framing the cross are four red lion's faces, representing courage and noble lineage.

The Bordure

The central design is encompassed by a bordure pean, mirroring the black and gold pattern throughout.

The Crest

Above the shield sits the crest, featuring a golden demi-lion ("demi-lion guardant or"). The lion is depicted holding a silver book ("fesswise argent bound gules clasped or"), symbolizing knowledge and scholarship, in its sinister foot. In its dexter foot, the lion holds a crane's leg ("Ă  la quise gules feathered or"), representing genealogy and heraldry.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design represents a society deeply engaged in heraldic and genealogical research. The cross and lion's faces create a traditional heraldic layout, and the book and crane's leg work together to demonstrate the society's commitment to both genealogical research and heraldic study.

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.
