Coat of Arms of Dominique Joseph Mathieu Cardinal (Iran) Decal Design

This striking vinyl decal features the heraldic coat of arms of Cardinal Dominique Joseph Mathieu, Archbishop of Tehran–Isfahan. The design is rich with symbolism, reflecting his ecclesiastical status, Franciscan heritage, and ministry in Iran.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central element is the shield (escutcheon), which boasts a vibrant blue (azure) background, a color traditionally representing heavenly mystery and devotion, often associated with the Virgin Mary.

At the heart of the design is a prominent eight-pointed gold star, often referred to as a "Persian star." This star serves multiple symbolic purposes, first referencing the Star of the Magi that led them to Christ. It also acknowledges the intricate geometric patterns prominent in Iranian art, connecting the cardinal's ministry with the local culture and the light of the Gospel.

The upper section incorporates the distinctive Franciscan symbol: crossed arms, one clad in the habit of St. Francis and the other, bare, representing Christ. This emblem signifies the cardinal's membership in the Order of Friars Minor Conventual and his dedication to the Franciscan ideals of service and Christ-like humility. A simple cross can also be included to recall Christ's passion.

Completing the composition is the cardinal's motto, "Deus meus in Te confido" ("My God, in You I trust"), placed below the shield, underscoring his unwavering faith.

Ecclesiastical Heraldry

Representing the cardinal's rank, a green galero (wide-brimmed hat) with ten tassels on each side is often incorporated in official representations. Behind the shield, an archiepiscopal cross, with two horizontal bars, is the traditional indication of his office as archbishop.

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.
