STS-53 (NASA) Holographic Die-Cut Vinyl Decal - Design Overview

This holographic die-cut vinyl decal captures the essence of the STS-53 mission, a significant but largely secretive flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The design utilizes a vibrant, dynamic color palette that shifts and shimmers with the changing light, mimicking the breathtaking view of Earth from orbit, or the technological prowess of the shuttle and its payloads.

Artwork Representation

The primary visual element is a stylized representation of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The shuttle is depicted in a streamlined, dynamic pose, suggesting forward momentum and the cutting-edge technology of space travel. The holographic effect adds a layer of depth and intrigue, hinting at the classified nature of the mission. The design includes subtle yet significant details like the American flag or the NASA logo on the shuttle's body. These details ground the design in the realities of the mission.

Meaning and Symbolism

The decal's design inherently carries a message of exploration, national security, and scientific advancement. The depiction of the Space Shuttle itself symbolizes humankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and its ability to reach for the stars. The holographic finish adds a dimension of mystery, reflecting the classified nature of the mission and the hidden technologies involved. It is a visual representation of the dual-use nature of the space shuttle. This decal serves as a tribute to the dedicated crew and the complex operations that occurred during STS-53, representing an important moment in the history of space exploration and its intersections with national defense.

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.
