PlA Bw (Germany) (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This decal showcases the official coat of arms of the Planungsamt der Bundeswehr (PlgABw), a high-level command authority within Germany's armed forces, the Bundeswehr. The design is a study in precise symbolism, conveying the organization's mission and values through its careful arrangement of visual elements.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is a shield, rendered in silver/white with a striking red border. Within the shield, four black "window-rhombuses" (diamond shapes) meet at the center, forming a unique cross-like arrangement. This deliberate placement provides the heart of the design and its meaning.

Symbolism and Meaning

The core symbolism of the coat of arms lies in the arrangement of the diamond shapes. The cross-like pattern is a direct reference to the Eisernes Kreuz (Iron Cross), a symbol of the Bundeswehr, and also evokes the image of a wind-rose, the symbol of NATO. This dual reference emphasizes the organization's commitment to orientation, openness, and cooperation.

The silver (white) background of the shield further reinforces the connection to the Bundeswehr, as it references the armed forces' official logo. The overall effect is a clean and powerful visual statement, reflecting the PlA Bw's role in strategic planning and coordination within the Bundeswehr.

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.
