Coat of Arms of Almaty (Old) Design

This striking vinyl decal presents the historic coat of arms of Almaty, Kazakhstan, specifically the version dating back to its imperial past as Verny. The design is a faithful representation of classical European heraldry.

Visual Elements

The central element is a shield, typically depicted in a vibrant blue field, which forms the background. Dominating the shield is a prominent golden apple, a symbol of profound significance for Almaty. The apple represents the fertile foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, a region celebrated as the ancestral home of the wild apple (Malus sieversii), from which all modern apples originate. The apple is a direct visual connection to the city's name, "Almaty," which derives from a word meaning "rich with apples." The golden color of the apple further signifies the value and abundance the fruit represents.

Depending on the specific imperial-era rendition, the design may also incorporate administrative or regional heraldic elements. These additions, such as crowns or other insignia, serve to indicate Almaty's status within the Russian Empire.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design is deeply rooted in the region's natural heritage and cultural identity. The golden apple on the blue field embodies the city's connection to the land, representing its agricultural richness and its ancient reputation as a place of abundant apples. The design stands as a visual testament to the history of Almaty, its enduring ties to its natural environment, and its evolution from a Russian frontier town to a major Central Asian metropolis.

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.
