VMFA-323 Death Rattlers (USMC) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This decal features the iconic insignia of VMFA-323, the "Death Rattlers," a distinguished fighter-attack squadron of the United States Marine Corps. The design immediately identifies the squadron through its prominent visual elements.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central image showcases a stylized rattlesnake, the source of the squadron's intimidating nickname. The rattlesnake is depicted in a striking and dynamic pose, coiled and ready to strike, its head erect and fangs bared. This aggressive posture embodies the squadron's readiness and lethality in combat. The snake's coiled body suggests power and precision.

The squadron designation, "323," is clearly displayed, reinforcing the unit's identity. This numeral is often integrated seamlessly with the snake image. The specific details of the design might vary, such as the color palette, which could include the squadron's colors of red, black, and gold. The overall presentation is designed to be instantly recognizable and project an image of power and professionalism.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "Death Rattlers" insignia is rich with symbolism. The rattlesnake represents the squadron's lethal capabilities and readiness to engage in combat. It's a visual metaphor for the unit's ability to strike swiftly and decisively. The choice of the rattlesnake as a symbol reinforces the squadron's history as a unit with a proven record of success in air combat.

The design serves as a powerful testament to the tradition and dedication of the Marines of VMFA-323. It communicates pride, skill, and the combat effectiveness of a vital USMC unit.

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.
