Oostzaandam Coat of Arms Vinyl Decal - Design Description

This striking decal features the historic coat of arms of Oostzaandam, a region in the Netherlands, originally granted to the municipality of Zaandam.

Visual Elements

The central element is a shield, meticulously divided into four distinct quarters. Each quarter showcases a rampant lion, a classic symbol of heraldry. The color scheme is a vibrant interplay of red and silver (white). The first and third quarters display a silver lion on a red field, while the second and fourth quarters feature a red lion against a silver background.

Adding to the visual richness, the shield is flanked by two majestic whales depicted in their natural colors. These whales serve as supporters, anchoring the design and providing a strong visual balance.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design is rich in historical significance and symbolic meaning. The lions, powerful and regal, represent themes of strength, authority, and likely allude to historical ties to noble families or the broader heraldic traditions of the North Holland region.

The whales pay homage to the area's rich maritime history, specifically the whaling and shipbuilding industries that once thrived along the Zaan River. This detail emphasizes the area’s unique connection to the sea and its past.

The quartered shield suggests the amalgamation of several former jurisdictions or honors into a single emblem. The opposing color scheme further emphasizes the diverse origins and historical significance represented by the coat of arms.

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.
