VP-48 Boomers or Pelicans (1946–1991) Holographic Decal Design

This striking die-cut vinyl decal commemorates the long and distinguished service of U.S. Navy Patrol Squadron 48, affectionately known as the "Boomers" and later the "Pelicans." The design leverages the squadron's rich history and imagery to create a visually captivating and symbolic artwork.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design prominently features elements that represent VP-48's operational history. It likely incorporates key aircraft flown by the squadron during its four-decade service. The holographic finish adds a dynamic and modern touch, reflecting the squadron's evolution while honoring its tradition.

The central imagery might depict a stylized Pelican in flight, or a stylized silhouette of the Neptune or Orion aircraft, depending on what the design team chose to portray. Any inclusion of a PBY Catalina would honor the squadron's early history.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design's primary function is to honor the squadron's service and to evoke a sense of pride and camaraderie. The inclusion of the "Boomers" and "Pelicans" names directly connects the artwork to the squadron's identity. The inclusion of an aircraft would symbolize the squadron's capability for long-range maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare. The holographic finish would indicate the technological evolution throughout the squadron's tenure.

The artwork strives to be a fitting tribute to the men and women who served in VP-48, carrying on the traditions of this venerable U.S. Navy unit.

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.
