Coat of Arms of Canada 1868: A Heraldic Representation

This sticker features the original Coat of Arms of Canada, granted in 1868, a significant historical emblem of the newly formed Dominion. The design is a direct representation of Canada's early identity and its foundational connections.

The Shield: A Quarterly Display

The central element is the shield, meticulously quartered to showcase Canada's heritage. The design is a symbolic tapestry, divided into four distinct sections, each representing a key European influence:

  • England: The first quarter displays the three gold lions passant guardant on a red background (Gules), directly symbolizing the English heritage.
  • Scotland: The second quarter showcases the gold lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory on a gold background (Or), representing the Scottish influence.
  • Ireland: The third quarter features the golden harp with silver strings (Argent) on a blue background (Azure), a tribute to Ireland.
  • France: The final quarter holds three golden fleurs-de-lis on a blue background (Azure), echoing the presence of France in Canada's history.

Simplicity and Purpose

The design adheres to the straightforward nature of the original 1868 coat of arms, which prioritized functionality for official seals and government documents. This version, devoid of elements like the crest, supporters, and the eventual motto, emphasizes the core heraldic elements reflecting the early Dominion's ties to the United Kingdom and its European roots. This design focuses purely on the European heritage of the founding provinces, and omits the maple leaves that would come later.

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.
