Coat of Arms of The Open University (Escutcheon Only) Sticker

This striking sticker showcases the escutcheon, or shield, of the Coat of Arms of The Open University of the United Kingdom. The design is a bold visual statement, rich with symbolic meaning.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is a blue shield ("Azure") upon which rests an open book. The book, rendered in natural colours ("Proper") with a red binding ("Gules"), symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge and the university's core mission of education. Golden rays ("Irradiated Or") emanate from the book, representing enlightenment and the illumination that comes from learning.

A gold band ("On a Chief Or") graces the top of the shield. This band features two laurel wreaths ("wreaths of laurel fructed Proper"), depicted with their leaves and fruit in natural colours. The laurel wreaths are a classic heraldic symbol of achievement, victory, and distinction, signifying the success and recognition earned by the university and its graduates.

Symbolism

The design as a whole is a powerful representation of The Open University's values. The open book, bathed in light, suggests accessibility to education and the transformative power of learning. The laurel wreaths add a layer of prestige, honoring the university's dedication to academic excellence and the accomplishments of its community.

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.
