Jamaica Flag Proposal 5 (1962) Vinyl Decal: A Glimpse of History

This vinyl decal presents a captivating window into Jamaica's pre-independence design aspirations. It features the unseen artistry of Jamaica Flag Proposal 5, one of the compelling submissions considered during the nation's flag selection process in 1962.

Color Palette and Symbolism

The design likely incorporates the vibrant colors of Jamaica's future: black, green, and gold. Each hue carries significant weight. Gold often symbolizes the island's natural wealth and sunshine, radiating a sense of optimism. Green represents the lush, fertile land and the hope for a bountiful future. Black, representing the strength and resilience of the Jamaican people, ties together these aspirations.

Potential Arrangements and Meaning

The specific arrangement of these colors, as hinted in the historical context, could vary. Horizontal or vertical stripes might have expressed unity and strength. Diagonal crosses (saltires) or triangular designs could have symbolized the intersection of different cultural influences or pointed towards aspirations for growth and progress. The inclusion of any symbols would have been carefully selected to capture the essence of Jamaican identity, its cultural richness, and the dream of independence.

This decal offers a unique chance to visualize a "what if" moment in Jamaican history. It is a striking visual testament to the creative process of nation-building, a symbol of potential, and a reminder of the rich visual language that a flag can carry.

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.
