Philippine Coat of Arms (1978-1985) Vinyl Decal: A Design Deep Dive

This vinyl decal showcases the Coat of Arms of the Philippines as it appeared from 1978 to 1985, a design reflecting the era of the Marcos administration under the 1973 Constitution.

Color and Composition

The shield is bisected horizontally into two vibrant fields. The upper section is rendered in a rich blue, while the lower segment adopts a bold red, mirroring the traditional colors of the Philippine flag. This color scheme immediately establishes a strong connection to national identity and patriotism.

Central Symbolism: The Sun and Stars

At the heart of the design lies a prominent, stylized golden sun. It is depicted with eight prominent rays, each one symbolizing the original eight provinces that took up arms and spearheaded the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. This choice powerfully connects the emblem with the historical struggle for independence.

Above the sun, three five-pointed stars are arranged in a triangular formation. These stars represent the three primary geographical divisions of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Their arrangement provides balance and harmony to the overall composition of the design.

A Shift in Identity: Removing the Eagle

Notably absent from this version of the Coat of Arms is the heraldic eagle that appeared in earlier designs. The removal of this symbol, which represented the United States, symbolizes the push for a stronger, more independent national identity during the Marcos administration.

Overall Artistic Style

The overall aesthetic is characterized by its simplicity and geometric forms. The artwork prioritizes bold, symbolic representations rather than intricate details, creating a visually striking and immediately recognizable emblem of the Philippines during this pivotal period in its history.

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.
