Van Mildert College Coat of Arms Decal: A Visual Tribute

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Van Mildert College, a significant emblem of Durham University, England. The design is a carefully crafted representation of the college's values and its rich history.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The arms are divided vertically, a technique known as "per pale," creating a balanced composition. The dexter (left) side, from the viewer's perspective, features a blue field (Azure) displaying a silver cross (argent) at its center. This cross is a prominent symbol of the college's Anglican foundation and Christian ethos. Flanking the cross are four golden open books (or), representing the pursuit of knowledge, scholarship, and the central role of education.

The sinister (right) side presents a silver field (argent) emblazoned with a red mitre (gules). This mitre is a direct reference to Bishop William Van Mildert, the last Prince-Bishop of Durham, and one of the founders of Durham University, connecting the college to its namesake and the University's heritage.

Above the shield, the crest depicts a golden torch (or) with flames in their natural colors ("enflamed proper"). The torch symbolizes illumination, enlightenment, learning, and the guidance the college aims to provide to its students.

The overall composition embodies the essence of Van Mildert College's mission. It seamlessly blends religious symbolism, academic motifs, and historical references, making this design a visually compelling representation of faith, learning, and leadership, as epitomized by the motto integrated with the college’s coat of arms.

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.
