COA of Viana do Castelo Design

This striking sticker showcases the official Coat of Arms (COA) of Viana do Castelo, a municipality and city in northern Portugal. The design, a symbol of civic pride and local heritage, is a classic example of Portuguese municipal heraldry, officially recognized since 1931.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element is a shield, rendered in a vibrant red (gules) background. A majestic black galleon (sable) dominates the design, its golden ornamentation and silver (argent) sails capturing the spirit of exploration and maritime tradition. Adorning the primary sail are the iconic old Portuguese quinas – five blue shields each featuring white bezants, representing Portugal's historical and national identity.

Beneath the galleon, the ship navigates a sea depicted through wavy stripes of silver and green (vert), signifying Viana do Castelo's coastal location and connection to the Atlantic Ocean. A golden anchor further emphasizes the city's maritime heritage. In the upper portion of the shield (in chief), a golden castle on a blue field illustrates the city's name (castelo meaning "castle"), symbolizing strength and defense.

A mural crown with five towers surmounts the shield, a clear heraldic indication of the city's status. Below the shield, a white ribbon bears the inscription "CIDADE DE VIANA DO CASTELO" in bold black lettering, solidifying the city's identity.

The design, through its complex interplay of colors and imagery, encapsulates Viana do Castelo's maritime history, connection to Portugal, and its enduring spirit of strength and resilience.

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.
