Coat of Arms of Southern Rhodesia (1924-1980) - Design Description

This vinyl sticker showcases the historical Coat of Arms of Southern Rhodesia, a design rich in symbolism reflecting the country's colonial past and its emerging identity. The artwork features a shield, the central element, divided into four distinct quarters, each telling a piece of the story.

The Shield: A Symbolic Quartering

The upper-left quarter displays a golden lion passant guardant against a red field. This heraldic lion, facing forward, is a direct nod to Great Britain, highlighting the colonial connection. Opposite this, in the upper-right, is a pattern of white and blue wavy horizontal stripes, visually representing the life-giving rivers that flow through the land.

The lower quarters continue the narrative. On the left, a green background features the iconic Zimbabwe bird, a symbol deeply tied to the local heritage and later incorporated into Zimbabwe's national symbols. On the right, a gold background is emblazoned with mining tools, directly representing the significant mining industry that shaped the region’s economy.

Crest, Supporters, and Motto

Above the shield, the design incorporates a crest: a lion holding an elephant tusk, further adding to the visual complexity and symbolism. Two sable antelopes stand as supporters on either side of the shield, representing the diverse wildlife of the region.

Finally, the Latin motto, "Sit Nomine Digna," which translates to "May She Be Worthy of the Name," is prominently displayed at the base, tying the visual elements together with a statement of aspiration and identity.

The design as a whole is a sophisticated blend of European heraldic traditions and local elements, capturing the historical and cultural complexities of Southern Rhodesia.

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.
