Cosimo il Vecchio Type 2 Coat of Arms Vinyl Decal - Design Description

This striking decal showcases the Coat of Arms of Cosimo il Vecchio, a pivotal figure in the history of Florence. The design vividly captures the essence of the Medici family's heraldic emblem during Cosimo's lifetime, specifically the Type 2 variation.

Visual Elements and Meaning

The central element is a gold (or) shield, serving as the foundation of the design. Upon this field, five vibrant red roundels, known as "palle" in Italian, are meticulously arranged in a distinctive “2-1-2” formation. This arrangement creates a balanced and visually appealing composition.

The largest red roundel traditionally resides at the uppermost position, drawing the eye and establishing a clear hierarchy within the design. The placement and color palette, gold and red, are integral to the symbolism of the Medici coat of arms, signifying power and nobility.

Additional Symbolism

The design may feature subtle variations, such as the inclusion of blue roundels among the red ones. This subtle detail represents alliances or honors bestowed upon the Medici family by significant figures, like Popes or noble families, adding layers of historical context.

Historical Context in Design

The coat of arms, as depicted, is a direct visual link to Cosimo il Vecchio's era, when he effectively ruled Florence. The use of this specific design communicates his influence and is often seen as a symbol of his power and legacy, as the coat of arms was displayed on public buildings and commissioned artwork of the era.

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.
