Special Operations Joint Task Force Afghanistan 3 (U.S. Army) Holographic STICKER Die-Cut Vinyl Decal

This design reproduces the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the Special Operations Joint Task Force-Afghanistan, U.S. Army Element, a heraldic badge built on an oval and a high-contrast black and gold palette.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black dominates the composition, filling roughly 40% of the design, with gold yellow close behind at about 20%. The oval badge sits under an arched top band, and a black spade-shaped arrowhead points through the center. A gold pillar rises behind it, flanked by gold laurel sprigs. Small accents of emerald green and crimson red appear within the layout. Four Latin words are lettered into the design: FORTIOR, SIMUL, QUAM and SEORSUM.

Meaning & Symbolism

The oval shape and the black and gold scheme derive from U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) heraldry. Black stands for covert activity and gold for excellence. The central spearhead marks Special Operations Forces as the "tip of the spear," and the olive branches surrounding the emblem represent victory and the intended positive outcome for the people of Afghanistan. The insignia was approved on April 30, 2013, and carries the disciplined, authoritative mood of military tradition.

Cut to the Outline of the Badge

A die-cut sticker follows its own outline, so the oval, the arrowhead and the laurel sprigs define the shape that lands on the surface. The spearhead and pillar read as a single silhouette, which suits a badge designed to be seen as one mark. Collectors of unit insignia will recognise the structure at a glance, and the contrast of black against gold holds its read on a laptop lid, a notebook cover or a locker door.

Holographic vinyl decals with a high-contrast rainbow sheen, printed with eco-friendly inks on premium, weather-rated film. Waterproof, UV-protected, and available in five sizes.

Built to turn heads and hold up outdoors. These holographic decals use premium printable vinyl topped with a UV-protective laminate. The film is rated for multi-year outdoor exposure, so the color stays bold and the surface resists scuffs and sun fade.

  • Signature finish: a 99% opaque rainbow effect that shifts with angle and light—clean edges and a smooth, matte-sheen feel rather than a mirror gloss.
  • Waterproof: designed for rain, splashes, and regular washing on smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Eco-conscious printing: vibrant, high-density color produced with eco-solvent inks for sharp lines and rich gradients.
  • Color guidance: no white underbase is applied; pure white areas won’t print, and very light tones allow the holographic layer to show through. Darker tones deliver the strongest contrast.
  • Easy-peel backing: release liner separates cleanly for quick, bubble-free placement.

Made for smooth surfaces: glass, metal, coated plastics, sealed laptops, bottles, mirrors, lockers, and windows. Suitable for interiors and short-term exterior spots like vehicle windows or signage.

  1. Prep: clean the area with mild soap and water or 70% isopropyl alcohol; let it dry fully.
  2. Apply: peel, align, and press from the center outward with a card or squeegee to push out air.
  3. Set: allow 24 hours for the adhesive to reach full bond; avoid heavy moisture during this time.

Tips: Avoid heavily textured or silicone-coated surfaces. For curved items, apply slowly and don’t stretch the film.

  • Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth from the center outward to lift dust and grime.
  • Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or pressure washers that can dull the holographic layer.
  • If placed on bottles or mugs, hand-wash is recommended. Prolonged high-heat cycles can shorten adhesive life.

Available in five sizes. Measurements refer to the longest side of the decal. A “3 inch” option is 3 inches across its largest dimension; the die-cut follows the exact contour for crisp, professional edges.
