Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut (FOI) Coat of Arms Decal

This striking decal showcases the official coat of arms of Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut (FOI), Sweden's Defence Research Agency. The design is a powerful blend of heraldic symbolism, immediately recognizable to those familiar with the institute's work.

The Shield: A Realm of Azure and Gold

At the heart of the design lies a shield of azure, a deep blue color representing loyalty, truth, and vigilance. Dominating the field is a golden winged, two-bladed propeller. This symbol underscores the agency's research focus on air travel and technology.

Symbols of Defence: The Crossed Sword and Anchor

Beneath the propeller, a sword and an anchor are crossed in saltire. This arrangement forms an "X" shape, a heraldic representation signifying both strength and stability. The sword embodies military power and defence, while the anchor represents maritime affairs, covering both sea and land operations.

A Chaplet of Honour: Laurel and Oak

Enclosing the shield is a chaplet, a wreath-like garland composed of two halves. One half is formed of laurel leaves, symbolizing victory, glory, and achievement. The other half comprises oak leaves, representing strength, resilience, and endurance. Both leaves are rendered in gold, a color that signifies wealth, generosity, and nobility.

A Legacy of Research

The coat of arms, originally used by the Swedish National Defence Research Institute (Försvarets forskningsanstalt, FOA), now represents the continued mission of scientific research in the service of national defence. It is a visual testament to the agency's dedication to innovation, defence, and a deep history.

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.
