Somerville College Coat of Arms Sticker Design

This sticker features the distinguished Coat of Arms of Somerville College, Oxford, a design steeped in history and symbolic meaning. The central element is a shield, meticulously rendered to reflect the college's heraldic emblem.

Visual Elements and Their Meaning

The shield's field is rendered in Argent, a heraldic term for white or silver, providing a clean and elegant backdrop for the other elements. Dominating the upper portion are three Gules (red) mullets, or five-pointed stars, arranged in an inverted "V" shape known as a chevron reversed. This arrangement is visually striking and represents a connection to Mary Somerville's family lineage.

Surrounding the stars are six Sable (black) crosses crosslet fitched. These crosses, a distinctive type of cross with equal arms and a pointed lower end, are arranged artfully around the shield. The crosslets are a traditional heraldic symbol, and the fitched ends suggest aspiration and forward momentum. Their placement and color provide visual balance and complement the stars.

Representation and Symbolism

The design as a whole is a powerful representation of Somerville College's identity. The use of Mary Somerville's family arms, carefully modified in color, creates a direct link to the college's namesake and her pioneering spirit. The combination of stars and crosses evokes themes of achievement, faith, and the pursuit of knowledge. The overall composition is a testament to the college's heritage and its enduring commitment to education.

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.
