Monnickendam Coat of Arms Sticker Design

Visual Elements

This striking sticker presents the historic coat of arms, or "wapen," of Monnickendam, Netherlands. The centerpiece is a silver (or white) shield, boldly featuring a monk standing upon a green terrace.

The monk is depicted in a natural brown monastic habit. In his right hand, he firmly holds a club or cudgel, while in his left, he carries a rosary.

Above the shield, the design incorporates a wreath of oak leaves, forming a heraldic oak-leaf crown. Two imposing griffins, mythical creatures with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, flank the shield on either side, acting as supporters.

Symbolism and Representation

The design’s central figure, the monk, directly references the town's name, "Monnickendam," which translates to "Monk's dam" or "Monk's dike," symbolizing the city's historical ties to a monastic community.

The club or cudgel, held by the monk, may represent strength and protection. The rosary, held in the other hand, symbolizes piety, faith, and religious life.

The oak-leaf crown is a testament to strength, endurance, and nobility. The griffins, with their combined symbolism of the lion and eagle, convey courage, vigilance, and overall strength, adding to the design's sense of power and history.

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.
