Emblem of Afghanistan (1987-1992) Vinyl Decal: A Symbol of a Socialist Era

This vinyl decal showcases the official Emblem (Coat of Arms) of Afghanistan from the period of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, a socialist state aligned with the Soviet Union, which existed from 1987 to 1992. The design itself tells a story of political ideology and national identity through its carefully chosen imagery.

Design Overview

The emblem is characterized by a circular or oval arrangement, dominated by a bold central image set against a backdrop of a rising sun, symbolizing the dawn of a new era and a brighter future. Dominating the center is a prominent red star, a quintessential emblem of socialism and communism, representing the ruling ideology of the state.

Symbolism and Meaning

The emblem incorporates several supporting elements to convey its message. Surrounding the central design are sheaves of wheat, signifying the importance of agriculture and the hope for prosperity within the nation. Often included at the bottom is an open book, a visual representation of the value placed on education and progress within this socialist republic. Gears and industrial elements sometimes appear, paying homage to the working class and the importance of industrial advancement. The prevalent use of the color red reinforces the socialist ideology while hints of gold/yellow and sometimes green (a nod to Islamic and national identity) add a layer of complexity.

A Time Capsule of Political Imagery

The design effectively replaces traditional Islamic motifs with socialist symbolism, reflecting the political shift of the era and the close ties with the Soviet Union. This emblem serves as a striking visual representation of a specific historical period and the ideology that shaped it. The inclusion of text, often the state's name in Dari or Pashto, adds to its legitimacy and provides important context to this unique 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.
