VMFA AW 242 (USMC) Holographic Die-Cut Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This holographic die-cut vinyl decal features a striking design inspired by the VMFA(AW)-242 "Bats" squadron of the United States Marine Corps.

Visual Elements

The central element is a stylized rendition of the squadron's iconic "Bats" emblem. The design likely incorporates the image of a bat, rendered in a bold, dynamic pose to convey a sense of power and readiness. The holographic finish adds a shimmering, iridescent effect, reflecting light and creating a dynamic appearance that shifts with the viewing angle.

The design is carefully die-cut, precisely following the contours of the bat emblem, creating a clean and professional look. The use of a sharp, modern font is used to display "VMFA AW 242" likely encircles or integrates with the bat design to clearly identify the squadron.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "Bats" squadron emblem is the core of this design, representing the squadron's identity and heritage. The bat symbolizes the squadron's ability to operate effectively in any environment, day or night, and their predatory nature in defense of freedom.

The holographic finish elevates the design, suggesting an advanced and cutting-edge operational environment. The overall design embodies the spirit of the USMC: strength, readiness, and forward-deployed presence of VMFA(AW)-242.

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.
