USNS Sirius (T-AFS-8) Sticker Design

A Tribute to Naval Logistics

This vinyl kiss-cut decal design celebrates the USNS Sirius (T-AFS-8), a vital combat stores ship that served the U.S. Navy. The artwork embodies the ship's role in sustaining the fleet through underway replenishment, a critical element of naval power projection and operational readiness.

Visual Representation

The design likely incorporates visual elements that symbolize the Sirius and its mission. These elements could include:

  • The Ship's Silhouette: A clear outline or artistic representation of the USNS Sirius itself, immediately identifying the subject.
  • Naval Colors & Imagery: The use of navy blue, gold, and white, alongside nautical elements such as anchors, waves, or the Navy's emblem, would clearly associate the design with the U.S. Navy.
  • Underway Replenishment Iconography: Visual cues to represent the ship's replenishment capabilities, perhaps showing cargo being transferred between vessels, or the ship's refueling apparatus, highlighting its function as a floating supply depot.
  • Identification Markings: The "T-AFS-8" designation, prominently displayed, would provide immediate identification of the ship's specific classification, and service.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design, as a whole, carries profound meaning and symbolism. It represents the unsung heroes of naval logistics - the civilian mariners and their supporting ships who provide crucial supplies to the fleet. The Sirius, and ships like it, are a testament to the importance of logistical support in maintaining global naval presence and power.

The design also acknowledges the Military Sealift Command (MSC), whose civilian crews operated these vessels. It highlights their vital contribution to the U.S. Navy's mission by providing a tangible reminder of the complex system that keeps the fleet operational around the world.

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.
