Union Army Lieutenant General Decal - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the iconic insignia of a Lieutenant General in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The artwork is a faithful representation of the rank's distinctive visual elements, designed to instantly convey the high status and authority associated with the position.

Key Visual Elements

The central and most prominent feature is the depiction of three silver stars. These stars are arranged on the design, mirroring their original placement on the shoulder straps (epaulettes) of the Lieutenant General's uniform coat. The stars are rendered with detail, suggesting the glint of metal and reflecting the officer's prestigious rank. This is the defining characteristic that immediately identifies the wearer's rank.

In addition to the stars, the design may include elements evoking the broader aesthetic of the period. Gold lace is a key element of the visual aspect of the Lieutenant General's uniform, especially for dress wear. In this case, the design will employ gold trimming, which will add a sense of formality, prestige, and sophistication.

Meaning and Symbolism

The three silver stars are rich with symbolic meaning. They represent the high level of responsibility and command held by a Lieutenant General. This rank was superior to Major General, indicating the lieutenant general's role in commanding entire armies and shaping large-scale military strategies.

The design as a whole is a testament to the history and sacrifice of the Union Army. The meticulous reproduction of the insignia allows the user to display a piece of military history and appreciate the artistry and significance behind the rank's visual representation.

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.
