ICS Oscar (International Code of Signals) Holographic STICKER Die-Cut Vinyl Decal
ICS Oscar is a single signal flag from the International Code of Signals, rendered as a bold diagonal split of red and yellow.
Visual Elements & Composition
The flag is built from two triangles divided by one diagonal running corner to corner. Yellow and red each fill exactly half the field, so neither colour dominates and the eye reads the split first. The rendering is flat and graphic, with hard edges and no shading. There is no lettering or numeral on the flag itself. The name ICS Oscar identifies the flag, and the artwork carries nothing beyond shape and colour.
Meaning & Symbolism
The International Code of Signals is the maritime system that lets vessels communicate across language barriers by flag, with each flag standing for a letter or a set phrase. Oscar, the fifteenth letter of the alphabet, carries the signal man overboard, hoisted when a person has gone into the water. The high contrast of red against yellow is what makes the flag legible across a deck and against open sky. The code is maintained by the International Maritime Organization, and this reproduction is an independent piece of artwork drawn from that tradition.
On the Holographic Die-cut Sticker
A die-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the flag's diagonal edge becomes the edge of the object. The silhouette and the artwork are the same shape, which suits a flag design better than a square label would. Because the sticker is a flat object read at close range, the two triangles register as a graphic mark rather than a scene. Collectors of nautical ephemera and anyone who keeps a logbook, a sailing bag, or a set of field notes will recognise the signal at a glance.

Holographic vinyl decals with a high-contrast rainbow sheen, printed with eco-friendly inks on premium, weather-rated film. Waterproof, UV-protected, and available in five sizes.
Built to turn heads and hold up outdoors. These holographic decals use premium printable vinyl topped with a UV-protective laminate. The film is rated for multi-year outdoor exposure, so the color stays bold and the surface resists scuffs and sun fade.
- Signature finish: a 99% opaque rainbow effect that shifts with angle and light—clean edges and a smooth, matte-sheen feel rather than a mirror gloss.
- Waterproof: designed for rain, splashes, and regular washing on smooth, non-porous surfaces.
- Eco-conscious printing: vibrant, high-density color produced with eco-solvent inks for sharp lines and rich gradients.
- Color guidance: no white underbase is applied; pure white areas won’t print, and very light tones allow the holographic layer to show through. Darker tones deliver the strongest contrast.
- Easy-peel backing: release liner separates cleanly for quick, bubble-free placement.
Made for smooth surfaces: glass, metal, coated plastics, sealed laptops, bottles, mirrors, lockers, and windows. Suitable for interiors and short-term exterior spots like vehicle windows or signage.
- Prep: clean the area with mild soap and water or 70% isopropyl alcohol; let it dry fully.
- Apply: peel, align, and press from the center outward with a card or squeegee to push out air.
- Set: allow 24 hours for the adhesive to reach full bond; avoid heavy moisture during this time.
Tips: Avoid heavily textured or silicone-coated surfaces. For curved items, apply slowly and don’t stretch the film.
- Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth from the center outward to lift dust and grime.
- Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or pressure washers that can dull the holographic layer.
- If placed on bottles or mugs, hand-wash is recommended. Prolonged high-heat cycles can shorten adhesive life.
Available in five sizes. Measurements refer to the longest side of the decal. A “3 inch” option is 3 inches across its largest dimension; the die-cut follows the exact contour for crisp, professional edges.
