US Navy CWO3 Shoulderboard Decal - Design Description

Visual Representation

This decal replicates the shoulderboard insignia of a U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CWO3), a rank of significant technical expertise and leadership within the Navy's warrant officer corps. The design accurately mirrors the details found on the service dress and formal uniforms worn by CWO3s.

Key Design Elements

The core of the design is a representation of the shoulderboard itself. It features a dark blue or black background, the color consistent with the insignia's traditional presentation. This background is edged with a border of gold trim, adding a touch of formality and prestige associated with the rank.

At the center, the prominent element is the rank insignia: three gold squares. These three gold devices are arranged centrally and are the defining visual characteristic of the CWO3 rank. Their arrangement and number immediately communicate the rank's position within the warrant officer hierarchy.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's symbolism directly correlates to the CWO3's role. The gold squares represent the CWO3's authority and experience, earned through service and technical proficiency. The shoulderboard's presence, whether on a uniform or a decal, signifies the individual's commitment to duty and their position as a senior technical expert.

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.
