Héraldique Ville BE Charleroi 1995 (Belgium) - Sticker Design

This striking sticker showcases the intricate coat of arms of Charleroi, Belgium, a design rich in symbolism and history.

Visual Elements

The central element is a black (sable) shield, providing a dramatic backdrop. Dominating this field is a silver (argent) silhouette of a hexagonal fortress, a representation of the Vauban-style fort that served as the foundation for the city of Charleroi.

Twelve five-pointed golden (or) stars are arranged in a circular pattern around the fortress, visually representing the "Towns of Europe" and symbolizing European unity.

Superimposed over the fortress and stars are two horizontal bars featuring a distinctive checkerboard pattern. The upper bar presents eight alternating red (gueules) and silver squares, while the lower bar holds seven. This checkerboard element signifies the fifteen former municipalities that merged to form the modern city of Charleroi.

Crowning the design, in a "chief diminished" section, is a silver band. Atop this band sits a single red (gueules) fleur-de-lis, a nod to France's involvement in the expansion of the original Vauban fortress.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design tells a story through its elements. The hexagonal fortress directly references the historic Vauban fort, Charleroi's origins. The twelve golden stars pay tribute to European unity, while the checkerboard pattern represents the city's unified municipalities. The fleur-de-lis highlights France's impact on the city's historical development.

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.
