National Emblem of Greece (1973) Sticker - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the official National Emblem of Greece as it appeared in the Government Gazette of 1973. This emblem holds significant historical weight, reflecting Greece's transition from monarchy to a republic.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is a classic blue shield, prominently featuring a white cross. This cross is a powerful symbol of the Greek Orthodox faith, a cornerstone of Greek identity and national unity.

Flanking the shield is a wreath composed of laurel branches. The laurel, a time-honored symbol of victory, peace, and triumph, also pays homage to Greece's rich classical heritage, connecting the modern nation with its ancient roots.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design’s simplicity speaks volumes. The white cross against the blue background signifies both religious and national unity, representing the enduring spirit of the Greek people. The laurel wreath symbolizes triumph and the continuation of Greek legacy.

Notably, the absence of a crown (present in prior royal versions) in this 1973 version underscores the establishment of the Hellenic Republic, marking a decisive shift away from monarchy.

This design serves as a visual testament to a pivotal moment in Greek history, encapsulating the values of faith, heritage, unity, and a new era of republican governance.

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.
