Coat of Arms of Sofia 1911-1928 (Bulgaria) Sticker: A Visual Legacy

This sticker showcases the iconic Coat of Arms of Sofia, Bulgaria, as it appeared from 1911 to 1928, a period considered the emblem's "classic" form. The design is a rich tapestry of historical, cultural, and natural symbolism, all elegantly combined into a striking visual statement.

A Shield of History and Identity

The central element is a shield, divided into four quadrants, each telling a piece of Sofia's story:

  • Upper Left: A female head, crowned with city walls, echoing imagery from ancient Serdica coins, representing the city's ancient roots.
  • Upper Right: The majestic Saint Sofia Church (Basilica of St. Sofia), the namesake and a key symbol of the city's identity.
  • Lower Left: A mountain motif, evoking the grandeur of Vitosha Mountain and the natural surroundings.
  • Lower Right: A classical-style pavilion with a figure of Apollo Medicus, referencing the ancient mineral springs and therapeutic baths, a testament to the city's natural resources and historical significance.

At the shield's heart, within a smaller central shield, stands a rampant lion, a powerful connection to Bulgaria's national symbol, solidifying the city's place within the nation's identity.

Crowning Glory and Enduring Spirit

Above the shield, a mural crown, a traditional heraldic symbol for cities, signifies Sofia's municipal status. Flanking the shield is a laurel-twig band, adding a sense of honor and prestige to the design.

The final touch is a banner carrying the motto, written in pre-1945 Bulgarian orthography: «Расте, но не старѣе» (Raste, no ne staree) - "Ever Growing, Never Aging." This reinforces the city’s vitality, growth, and enduring youth, encapsulating its spirit.

This sticker is a beautiful way to display your appreciation for this iconic emblem of Sofia, carrying the city's rich heritage and enduring spirit.

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.
