The System (1953) Movie Poster - Sticker Decal Design

This sticker decal captures the essence of classic film noir through its compelling design, mirroring the iconic movie poster for "The System" (1953). The artwork immediately immerses you in the gritty world of crime and shadowy figures, a hallmark of the genre.

Dramatic Typography and Title

The design prominently showcases the title, "THE SYSTEM," rendered in bold, impactful typography. This visual emphasis immediately establishes the subject matter, drawing the viewer's attention and setting the tone for the suspenseful narrative.

Character Illustration and Noir Aesthetics

The central element features an illustration of the protagonist, clad in the quintessential noir attire: a suit and fedora. This embodies the classic imagery of detectives and gangsters. The composition often features a collage of other key characters, suggesting the complex network and power dynamics that define "The System."

High-Contrast Color Palette

The design employs a high-contrast color scheme, with a preference for orange and black, which is immediately recognizable from surviving poster art of the era. This deliberate use of color enhances the gritty, dramatic feel, creating a visually arresting aesthetic that perfectly captures the film's essence of tension and moral ambiguity.

Symbolism of Crime and the "Crimeboom"

The design embodies the themes of crime, corruption, and the underbelly of society. The imagery of shadowy figures, high contrast and the suggestion of a "Crimeboom" evokes a world of shootdowns, mobsters and intricate networks of deceit and power. The sticker decal serves as a miniature portal to this bygone cinematic universe, celebrating the artistic beauty and enduring legacy of film noir.

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.
