Greater Coat of Arms of Dunkerque 1919 (France) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This striking decal presents the Greater Coat of Arms of Dunkerque, France, as it appeared in 1919, a testament to the city's valor and history.

Design Elements

The design is centered around a shield (escutcheon) divided horizontally into two sections (per fess). The upper half, on a gold (or) background, features a proud black (sable) lion passant (walking). The lower half, on a silver (argent) background, showcases a recumbent (lying) blue (azure) dolphin with a red (gueules) crest and ear.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design is rich in symbolism. The golden lion pays homage to Dunkerque's Flemish heritage. The dolphin represents the city's strong maritime ties, encompassing fishing and its significant port.

A ribbon or scroll encircles the shield, bearing the motto: "Dunkerque a bien mérité de la Patrie" ("Dunkirk has well deserved of the Fatherland"). Additionally, the phrase "Ville héroïque, sert d’exemple à toute la Nation" ("Heroic city, sets an example for the whole nation") is also incorporated, highlighting the city's distinguished status.

Honors and Recognition

The coat of arms incorporates the actual honors bestowed upon Dunkerque during the wartime era, including the Knight of the Légion d’Honneur, the Croix de Guerre with Palms, and the Distinguished Service Cross. These decorations visibly demonstrate the city’s bravery and recognition after World War I.

This decal is a visual representation of Dunkerque's rich history, bravery, and deep connection to its maritime roots, encapsulated in a striking and historically significant design.

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.
