E8b USAF 1STSGT2 Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This decal showcases the distinctive insignia of a United States Air Force E-8b First Sergeant, a key position within a USAF unit. The design is a precise representation of the rank insignia worn on the sleeves of service uniforms.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central element is the Senior Master Sergeant stripes, comprised of seven stripes arranged horizontally. Six stripes are displayed below and one above. This signifies the E-8 pay grade, a crucial identifier of the First Sergeant's rank within the enlisted structure.

Positioned prominently within the design is the diamond, a unique symbol of the First Sergeant's role. This diamond signifies the special duty position of the First Sergeant. Its inclusion denotes that the wearer has been selected to serve as the enlisted advisor and is responsible for upholding standards, mentoring Airmen, and acting as a bridge between the unit commander and enlisted personnel.

The arrangement of these elements reflects the hierarchy within the Air Force, with the stripes clearly marking the rank and the diamond denoting the specialized and important position of First Sergeant. The design's clarity and accuracy pay homage to the tradition and values of the USAF.

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.
