US Air Force O2 Shoulderboard Vinyl Decal - Rotated Design (1949-1999)

This vinyl decal showcases the distinctive insignia of a First Lieutenant (1st Lt) in the United States Air Force, specifically reflecting the uniform design standards employed between 1949 and 1999. The artwork directly represents the officer's shoulder board, a key element of their military rank identification.

Design Elements

The central visual element is a single, silver bar. This bar is oriented horizontally across the design. The rotation of the bar reflects the style of shoulder board used in dress uniforms and service coats of the time. The rotated bar indicates the orientation of the insignia along the shoulder seam on the uniform.

Meaning and Symbolism

The silver bar signifies the rank of First Lieutenant (O-2) within the Air Force's officer structure. Representing the rank of First Lieutenant, this design immediately identifies the wearer as a junior commissioned officer, holding a position of responsibility that would include leading sections, assisting senior officers, and taking on operational, administrative, and training duties. The detail within the design represents a specific historical era and highlights this officer's position within the U.S. Air Force hierarchy.

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.
