VAW-11 "Early Eagles" Reverse Print Die-Cut Sticker Design

Visual Representation

This sticker design pays homage to Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 11, the "Early Eagles" of the U.S. Navy. The artwork is meticulously crafted to capture the essence of this vital squadron's mission and history. The reverse print allows for application on the inside of a window, preserving the design from the elements.

Key Elements & Symbolism

The central element likely showcases a profile of the iconic E-2 Hawkeye aircraft, the primary aircraft of VAW-11 in its later years. The inclusion of the Hawkeye signifies the squadron’s role as the "eyes in the sky," providing crucial radar surveillance and early warning capabilities for the carrier strike group. This prominent positioning of the aircraft emphasizes the squadron's dedication to airborne early warning and its significance in protecting the fleet.

The design may feature the squadron's official insignia, likely incorporating imagery symbolic of its mission, such as an eagle. The "Early Eagles" nickname is likely incorporated through the inclusion of the phrase itself or through another graphic of an eagle. The color palette most likely consists of navy blues, grays, and whites, reflecting the squadron's association with the U.S. Navy and the colors of the aircraft and the sea.

The die-cut ensures that the design is meticulously cut around the aircraft or squadron emblem, creating a clean, professional appearance. This attention to detail reflects the precision and professionalism characteristic of VAW-11.

Reverse-print die-cut decals are made to be installed on the **inside** of glass so your artwork faces outward. Built from water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate, they’re designed to stay vivid while being protected from the elements.

Think of these as “inside-protected” window graphics: the printed face is applied to the glass interior, which keeps the design shielded from direct contact and weather. The core material is a robust, water-resistant vinyl topped with a matte laminate that reduces glare and adds scratch resistance.

We use eco-solvent inks for saturated, long-lasting color, and each decal is precision die-cut so the edges sit clean against the glass. Finished in the USA from globally sourced components, these decals balance durability with a professional, understated look.

  • Material: water-resistant vinyl with a matte UV-protective laminate.
  • Method: reverse-print (installed inside glass) so the environment meets glass, not the ink.
  • Durability: engineered for multi-year outdoor performance when properly applied.
  • Made in the USA: assembled locally from globally sourced parts.
  • Design notes: very small elements placed close together may cut into a single shape; low-contrast elements on dark glass can be hard to see from the street.

Where do people put these? Storefront windows, car or van glass (interior mount), glass office partitions, and interior display cases are common spots. Because the print faces outward but is protected from the outside, the graphic holds up better against touch and weather.

  1. Prep: thoroughly clean the glass—use mild soap and water or an alcohol wipe for grease. Let it dry completely.
  2. Position: peel a corner of the liner and align carefully. Lay the decal down slowly, pressing from the center outward to push out air.
  3. Finish: use a soft card or squeegee to smooth edges; allow at least 24 hours for the adhesive to fully bond before heavy exposure to weather.

Heads-up: if your design uses fine text or very thin lines packed close together, consider simplifying those elements—small slivers can merge during cutting. Also, designs placed on dark-tinted glass will read darker and may lose subtle hues.

Care is low-key but worthwhile. Wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more stubborn dirt, use a lightly damp microfiber and blot dry right away.

Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders, and harsh solvents such as straight ammonia or concentrated cleaners—those can dull the laminate or lift edges. Proper, gentle cleaning preserves the matte finish and color saturation over time.

Available in five sizes. We list sizes by the sticker’s longest side—so a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork outline for a tight, professional edge.

If your artwork has intricate islands or very thin gaps, expect slight variation: tiny islands may be merged into a single piece during cutting. When in doubt, test at a slightly larger scale or simplify closely spaced details.
