ICS Repeat One (International Code of Signals) Holographic STICKER Die-Cut Vinyl Decal

ICS Repeat One is a single triangular pennant, drawn as a flat blue field with a yellow triangle nested at its centre, a graphic taken from the International Code of Signals.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue dominates the design, covering most of the surface as the outer triangle. A smaller yellow triangle sits inside it, set in the same orientation, so the two shapes read as one pennant with a border. A trace of black appears as a fine accent. The layout is spare and symmetrical: one shape, one repeated edge, and no text or numerals. The flat vector rendering keeps the edges crisp, which suits a shape this simple.

Meaning & Symbolism

In the International Code of Signals, a repeat pennant does not carry a message on its own. It tells the reader to repeat the flag or substitute immediately before it, so the signal can be sent again without being spelled out a second time. Mariners used this kind of economy to speed communication between ships, and the code's standardised flags and pennants let vessels of different nations read each other's signals at sea. The "One" in the name marks the first of the repeat pennants, the one used to repeat a single preceding signal.

On the Holographic Die-cut Stickers

A die-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its artwork, so the triangle here becomes the whole object: the pennant's silhouette is the sticker's edge, with no square backing around it. The holographic finish gives the flat blue and yellow a shifting rainbow sheen as the surface catches light, which adds movement to a shape that is otherwise static. Its small, self-contained form suits a single pennant, and it sits well on a surface where a nautical mark can be seen up close.
