Canadian Forces Emblem Decal: Design and Meaning

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the official Canadian Forces emblem, a powerful symbol of unity and service. At its heart lies a central arrangement of key elements representing the entire Canadian Armed Forces.

Central Design

The focal point features a crossed sword, anchor, and eagle arranged in an X-shape, or saltire. These elements symbolize the Canadian Army (sword), the Royal Canadian Navy (anchor), and the Royal Canadian Air Force (eagle), highlighting the integrated nature of Canada's military.

Superimposed over these symbols is a St. Edward’s Crown, rendered in its proper colors. This signifies the monarch, serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Forces, and underscores the historical and constitutional ties of the armed forces.

Encircling Elements

The central design is enclosed by a circular garter, bearing the bilingual inscription "CANADIAN FORCES • FORCES CANADIENNES," emphasizing the single, unified structure. The motto “VIGILAMUS PRO TE” (Latin for "We stand on guard for thee") is prominently displayed. This motto conveys the fundamental mission of the Canadian Armed Forces: to protect Canada and its citizens.

Symbolism and Representation

The emblem's design reflects the unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, moving away from distinct branches to a unified command. Each element within the emblem is carefully chosen. The combined imagery of the sword, anchor, and eagle speaks to the integrated and multi-faceted capabilities of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The St. Edward's Crown acknowledges the authority of the monarch, emphasizing the military’s allegiance and its constitutional role. Overall, this emblem’s design is a testament to the values of loyalty, jointness, and unwavering service to the Crown and country.

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.
