Coat of Arms of New Spain's Capital (Mexico) - Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the historical coat of arms of Mexico City, reflecting its significance as the capital of New Spain during the colonial era.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central element is a fortified castle, typically depicted with three imposing towers. This signifies strength, resilience, and the city's role as a strategically important center.

Rampant lions are prominently featured, often positioned near or around the castle. These powerful creatures embody qualities of vigilance, courage, and royal authority, directly relating to the Spanish Crown that granted the original coat of arms.

A distinctive water and bridge motif underscores the city's unique location. The castle is frequently portrayed above water, representing the lakes upon which the original Aztec capital, Mexico-Tenochtitlan, was founded. This connection underscores the transition of power and the establishment of Spanish colonial rule.

Subtle details might include a royal crown, which crowns the design, reinforcing the city's connection to the Spanish monarchy and colonial power. Although, some versions also incorporate elements like a cactus or other indigenous imagery which represents the blending of Spanish heraldry with local cultural and geographic features.

Overall, the design is a compelling visual narrative of colonial history, embodying the establishment of Spanish rule over the former Aztec capital and serving as a potent symbol of power, authority, and the confluence of cultures in the New World.

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.
