University of Hertfordshire Coat of Arms Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This decal showcases the impressive and symbolic Coat of Arms of the University of Hertfordshire, a vibrant tapestry of heraldic imagery.

The Shield

At the heart of the design lies the shield, a rich canvas of purple, a color associated with wisdom and dignity. A striking "H" shape is formed by a silver (Argent) fess conjoined to two flaunches, a nod to the university's roots in Hatfield Polytechnic. Above, a constellation of six gold stars (mullets) representing Perseus dominates, paying homage to the university's dedication to science and astronomy, including a nod to computer science through the binary star symbolism of Algol. At the base, a golden oak tree, cut off (couped) and bearing fruit (fructed), echoes the heritage of the former Hatfield Rural District and symbolizes strength, history, and rootedness.

The Crest

Surmounting the shield is the crest: a majestic phoenix rising from a golden astral crown. The phoenix, depicted in black (Sable) and engulfed in flames, represents renewal, transformation, and the university’s growth since its beginnings in technical education. The laurel wreath adorning the phoenix signifies victory and achievement.

The Supporters

Flanking the shield are two red harts (Gules), embodying the county of Hertfordshire. Each hart is adorned with a purple and black (Sable) riband, from which hangs an embattled gold annulet (ring) pierced by a silver (Argent) quill, representing academic knowledge and scholarship. The harts rest their hind hooves upon golden covered cups, a reference to a significant land donor. The base, or compartment, depicts a landscape of water, represented by wavy lines of silver and blue (Azure), flanked by grassy mounds, grounding the design in the local environment.

Overall Design

The overall design is a sophisticated and visually striking emblem, rich in symbolism and historical reference. It expertly blends elements of Hertfordshire's heritage with the University's scientific and academic focus, creating a powerful and meaningful 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.
