USS Thorn DD 988 v2 Holographic Decal Design

This striking holographic sticker design pays tribute to the USS Thorn (DD-988), a distinguished Spruance-class destroyer of the U.S. Navy. The artwork captures the essence of this warship in a dynamic and visually appealing manner.

Visual Representation

The design prominently features an artistic rendering of the USS Thorn, showcasing the vessel's sleek profile and key identifying features. The use of a holographic finish introduces an element of dynamism, as the colors shift and shimmer with changing light, evoking the motion of the ship on the open sea. This effect suggests the power and energy of the vessel in its element.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design embodies the legacy of the USS Thorn, representing its vital role in anti-submarine warfare, surface combat, and its service throughout the Cold War and beyond. The image of the destroyer is a symbol of naval strength, resilience, and the dedication of the U.S. Navy. The choice of the holographic effect serves as a visual metaphor for the ship’s ability to navigate complex challenges.

The "DD 988" designation is clearly incorporated, providing immediate recognition and a specific reference to the ship. This subtle element ensures the design's authenticity and appeal to those familiar with naval history and ship nomenclature.

Holographic vinyl decals with a high-contrast rainbow sheen, printed with eco-friendly inks on premium, weather-rated film. Waterproof, UV-protected, and available in five sizes.

Built to turn heads and hold up outdoors. These holographic decals use premium printable vinyl topped with a UV-protective laminate. The film is rated for multi-year outdoor exposure, so the color stays bold and the surface resists scuffs and sun fade.

  • Signature finish: a 99% opaque rainbow effect that shifts with angle and light—clean edges and a smooth, matte-sheen feel rather than a mirror gloss.
  • Waterproof: designed for rain, splashes, and regular washing on smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Eco-conscious printing: vibrant, high-density color produced with eco-solvent inks for sharp lines and rich gradients.
  • Color guidance: no white underbase is applied; pure white areas won’t print, and very light tones allow the holographic layer to show through. Darker tones deliver the strongest contrast.
  • Easy-peel backing: release liner separates cleanly for quick, bubble-free placement.

Made for smooth surfaces: glass, metal, coated plastics, sealed laptops, bottles, mirrors, lockers, and windows. Suitable for interiors and short-term exterior spots like vehicle windows or signage.

  1. Prep: clean the area with mild soap and water or 70% isopropyl alcohol; let it dry fully.
  2. Apply: peel, align, and press from the center outward with a card or squeegee to push out air.
  3. Set: allow 24 hours for the adhesive to reach full bond; avoid heavy moisture during this time.

Tips: Avoid heavily textured or silicone-coated surfaces. For curved items, apply slowly and don’t stretch the film.

  • Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth from the center outward to lift dust and grime.
  • Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or pressure washers that can dull the holographic layer.
  • If placed on bottles or mugs, hand-wash is recommended. Prolonged high-heat cycles can shorten adhesive life.

Available in five sizes. Measurements refer to the longest side of the decal. A “3 inch” option is 3 inches across its largest dimension; the die-cut follows the exact contour for crisp, professional edges.
