Östgöta Helikopterskvadron Coat of Arms - Design Description

This striking design presents the official coat of arms (vapen) of the Östgöta helikopterskvadron, a Swedish military helicopter squadron. The artwork is rich in heraldic symbolism, immediately recognizable by its bold composition and vibrant colors.

Visual Elements and Representation

The primary element is a red (gules) shield, serving as the backdrop. Central to the design is the Östergötland provincial badge: a gold (or) griffin, rendered with a distinctive twist. This griffin, a mythical creature, is depicted with a dragon wing and tail, adding a unique heraldic variation. The griffin's claws and tongue are rendered in blue (azure).

Four silver (argent) roses are placed, one in each corner of the shield, completing the central design. These roses provide a contrasting visual element.

Overlaid upon the shield are two crossed, gold (or) one-winged swords. These swords, arranged in an "X" or saltire, likely symbolize the squadron's air operations and support role.

Symbolism and Meaning

The griffin with the dragon wing and tail is the most prominent symbol, representing the squadron's connection to the Östergötland region. The dragon attributes provide a unique and dynamic element to the heraldry.

The swords speak directly to the squadron’s military function, representing its connection to the air force and its role in support of military operations. The presence of the Royal Crown above the design firmly represents the unit's allegiance to the Crown and its role within the Swedish Armed Forces.

This coat of arms is a powerful and instantly recognizable visual statement reflecting the unit's history, regional ties, and military purpose.

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.
