CTF 74 Yokosuka Japan Refrigerator Magnet: Design Overview

This refrigerator magnet design boldly represents Combined Task Force 74 (CTF-74), a vital component of the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet, headquartered in Yokosuka, Japan. The artwork encapsulates the essence of this submarine warfare task force operating in the Western Pacific.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central imagery likely features a stylized representation of a submarine, perhaps submerged or partially visible, to immediately convey CTF-74's core mission. The submarine's presence symbolizes the task force's focus on undersea operations, stealth, and strategic power projection.

The design may incorporate the CTF-74 designation prominently, ensuring clear identification of the unit. The use of naval colors, such as navy blue, gold, and white, is highly probable, creating a visual connection to the U.S. Navy and evoking a sense of professionalism and maritime heritage.

Imagery of the Western Pacific region or a map outline could be included in the background of the magnet, thereby anchoring the design with the geographic area of operations. This inclusion underscores CTF-74's responsibility for the region and its collaborative efforts with allied forces.

Finally, the overall design aims to showcase the unit's commitment to planning, operations, and coordination in undersea activities throughout the Western Pacific, providing a sense of national pride and reflecting the U.S. Navy's strong presence and dedication to the region.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
