Merton College Oxford Coat of Arms Decal

This decal features the historically significant coat of arms of Merton College, Oxford, a design steeped in tradition and symbolism.

Shield Design

The central element is the shield, the heart of the heraldic design. It is defined by its vibrant color scheme and carefully chosen elements. The background of the shield is Gules, a heraldic term for red, a color that represents courage, zeal, and strength.

Across the shield is a golden chevron, representing protection and achievement. The gold of the chevron, also known as Or, adds a touch of nobility and further signifies learning and status.

Dominating the shield are three silver lions rampant, depicted standing on their hind legs. These powerful creatures, rendered in Argent (silver or white), are a recurring symbol in heraldry, and here represent courage, vigilance, and loyalty. Their inclusion may reflect Walter de Merton's personal heraldry, or broader medieval English heraldic traditions.

Additional Elements

While this decal primarily showcases the shield, the full coat of arms historically may include a crest, often a mitre, reflecting the founder's ecclesiastical role. The inclusion of these heraldic elements visually links Merton College to its historical roots and the early history of English collegiate heraldry.

The design as a whole is a powerful visual statement, a testament to the college's history and its founding principles. It provides an emblem of distinction, embodying the values of its founders and embodying the best of Oxford tradition.

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.
