São Tomé and Príncipe 1935-1951 Coat of Arms Sticker

This vinyl sticker showcases the historical coat of arms of São Tomé and Príncipe, as it appeared during its period as a Portuguese colony from 1935 to 1951. The design embodies the heraldic traditions of Portuguese colonial imagery, reflecting both Portugal's imperial presence and the unique character of the islands.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element is a shield, meticulously structured in the classic style of Portuguese heraldry. A deep blue border frames the design, providing a formal foundation. Within the shield itself, the emblem of Portugal is proudly displayed at the center. This iconic element features the Portuguese shield, with its arrangement of five small blue shields, each bearing white dots, set against a white background, all within a red border adorned with castles.

The coat of arms also incorporates symbols specifically tied to São Tomé and Príncipe. These elements evoke the islands' distinct geographical and economic characteristics. Palm trees and sugarcane are likely depicted, serving as visual representations of the local identity. The islands themselves might be visually represented, further establishing the unique setting of the emblem.

Completing the design is a mural crown, a traditional heraldic symbol representing authority, especially colonial or city leadership. A ribbon or scroll, placed beneath the shield, proudly displays the name "São Tomé and Príncipe," solidifying the identifier of the colonial territory.

The overall design is formal and structured, reflecting the era's focus on heraldic principles. It serves as a visual testament to the islands' historical ties to Portugal, while simultaneously highlighting the specific characteristics of São Tomé and Príncipe itself.

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.
