Dial M for Murder (1954) v2 Movie Poster - Design Description

This striking sticker showcases the "version 2" design of the iconic 1954 *Dial M for Murder* movie poster. Unlike the primary theatrical poster, this variant offers a distinct visual interpretation of Alfred Hitchcock's suspenseful thriller.

Artwork and Composition

The design immediately grabs attention with its bold, graphic emphasis. A prominent, solid red block serves as the backdrop, immediately drawing the eye. A classic rotary dial telephone, a central symbol of the film's plot, dominates the visual space, cleverly placed and styled for maximum impact.

The film's title, “Dial M for Murder,” is integrated with a strong typographical design, which is typically presented differently than in the standard theatrical release poster. The typography and layout are clean, ensuring the title remains legible and visually impactful against the vibrant red background.

Symbolism and Meaning

The red background evokes a sense of danger, tension, and impending doom, perfectly capturing the film's suspenseful atmosphere. The telephone, of course, is the key symbol. It represents the means of communication, manipulation, and the crucial turning point in the deadly plot. The stark simplicity of the design, with the focus on the red block and the phone, underscores the film's core theme of a meticulously planned scheme.

The design of this "v2" poster subtly promises a narrative of deception, intrigue, and the chilling consequences of a calculated crime, all presented in a visually arresting and memorable form.

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.
