Coat of Arms of the Governor-General of Malta (1964-1974) - Design Description

This striking design presents the Coat of Arms of the Governor-General of Malta, a heraldic emblem rich in symbolism, reflecting Malta's national identity and its historical ties to the British monarchy during the period of independence from 1964 to 1974.

Central Shield

At the heart of the design lies the Maltese shield, a powerful symbol of the nation. It showcases the national colors of white and red. In the upper dexter corner, the George Cross is prominently displayed. This prestigious decoration, awarded for extraordinary bravery during World War II, was retained at independence, a testament to Malta's resilience and valor.

Supporters and Compartment

Flanking the shield are two dolphins, traditional symbols of Malta's strong maritime heritage. They hold branches of olive and palm, respectively, signifying peace and victory. Beneath the shield, wavy blue lines represent the Mediterranean Sea, visually connecting the emblem to Malta's island geography and its deep relationship with the sea.

Crest and Motto

Instead of the mural crown found on Malta's state coat of arms, this version features a lion statant guardant atop St Edward's Crown, a symbol of British royalty, which highlights the Governor-General's connection to the British monarch. A motto scroll unfurls below, bearing the Latin phrase "Virtute et Constantia," meaning "By Valour and Firmness." This phrase, deeply rooted in Maltese history, embodies the nation's spirit and was later integrated into the National Order of Merit.

Overall Representation

The design effectively merges Maltese national symbols with elements that signify the constitutional role of the Governor-General under the Maltese monarchy during this specific historical period. It is a visual representation of Malta's courage, maritime roots, and its transition into independent nationhood.

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.
