Gonville & Caius College Crest Sticker - Design

This sticker features the distinguished heraldic emblem of Gonville & Caius College, one of Cambridge University's oldest colleges, representing a rich history dating back to 1348. The design beautifully captures the essence of the college's coat of arms, a symbol of its legacy and values.

The Shield: A Quartered Emblem

The central element is the shield, meticulously divided into quarters. The top left and bottom right quarters represent Gonville, with a pristine silver/white background ("Argent"). Across this field runs a bold red chevron ("Gules"), elegantly positioned between three crescent moons ("crescents Azure"). These crescents, in the color blue ("Azure"), symbolize the original Gonville lineage. The second quarter, along with the other quarter, represent Caius, and features a background of blue ("Azure"), three gold (Or) diapered stars ("estoiles"), a distinctive feature of the Caius heraldry.

The Crest: A Noble Antelope

Above the shield, the crest presents a rearing antelope ("proper"), rendered in natural colors. The antelope is collared and chained in gold ("Or"), symbolizing strength, nobility, and the aspirations of the college. The use of gold further underscores the importance of this imagery.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design embodies the union of Gonville Hall and its refounding by John Caius. Each element plays a symbolic role in representing the college's history. The combination of the Gonville crescents and chevron with the Caius stars visually commemorates the coming together of these legacies. The rearing antelope emphasizes the college's spirit of resilience, innovation and the pursuit of knowledge. The overall design is a powerful statement of heritage and ambition, encapsulated within a cohesive and visually striking emblem.

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.
