U.S. O-3 Insignia Decal Design

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the official insignia representing the O-3 pay grade within the U.S. military and related uniformed services. The design allows the user to display the emblem on whatever surface they want. The design incorporates the core visual elements of the rank, providing a clear visual reference.

Visual Elements & Representation

The primary design element is the two bars, the hallmark insignia of an O-3 officer. The color of the bars varies to signify the branch of service. For the U.S. Navy (USN) and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the bars are rendered in gold, evoking the traditional color associated with naval officer rank. The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHSCC), and for certain uniforms, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAACOC) the bars will be rendered in silver.

The placement of the bars, typically parallel to each other, symbolizes the rank’s status as a junior/mid-level officer. The precision and symmetry of the design reflect the discipline and order inherent in military service.

Meaning & Symbolism

The decal's design inherently carries the symbolism of leadership, experience, and the responsibilities associated with the O-3 rank. It speaks to the officer's role in commanding units, leading personnel, and executing operational tasks. The gold or silver bars, carefully rendered, represent the wearer's position in the hierarchy.

The inclusion of all the branches of service—USN, USMC, USCG, NOAACOC, and PHSCC—underscores the universal recognition of the O-3 rank and its importance within the diverse uniformed services of the United States.

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.
