Coat of Arms of Wadham College Oxford (England) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This striking decal showcases the Coat of Arms of Wadham College, Oxford, a heraldic emblem rich with historical and symbolic meaning. The design is a vivid representation of the college's founding by Dorothy Wadham in memory of her husband, Nicholas Wadham, and the union of their families.

Design Elements and Representation

The artwork is based on a divided shield, a classic element of heraldry. The dexter (right) side of the shield, representing the Wadham family, features a vibrant red background (Gules) upon which a white (argent) chevron is prominently displayed. Accompanying the chevron are three white roses, with their green barbs and seeds meticulously rendered. The roses are a symbol of beauty, love, and possibly, English heritage.

The sinister (left) side presents the arms of the Petre family, also against a red backdrop (Gules). A bold gold (or) diagonal stripe, or "bend," stretches across the shield, signifying military honor. Two silver (argent) scallop shells are positioned on either side of the bend. These shells are traditionally associated with pilgrimage and the journey of life.

Meaning and Symbolism

The overall composition is a powerful emblem of unity and legacy. The impalement of the Wadham and Petre arms signifies the marriage of Nicholas and Dorothy, bringing their respective family heraldry together into a single, cohesive design. The chevron, often representing protection and a strong foundation, adds another layer of meaning. The red background is common in English heraldry and can signify warrior-like qualities.

The entire design serves as a lasting tribute to the founders of Wadham College and embodies the college's enduring heritage.

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.
