Wappen Köln (Germany) Vinyl Decal - Design Description

This decal showcases the iconic Wappen (coat of arms) of Cologne, Germany, a symbol steeped in history and religious significance. The design is immediately recognizable for its distinct composition and vibrant color palette.

Shield & Primary Elements

The central element is a shield with a silver (white) background, a field representing purity and peace. Positioned at the top of the shield are three black crowns, arranged horizontally. These crowns are a direct reference to the Three Kings (Magi), whose sacred relics are enshrined within the Cologne Cathedral.

Beneath the crowns, a pattern of eleven red elements dominates the lower portion of the shield. These elements, which can be interpreted as flames or fleurs-de-lis, are arranged in three rows: four on the top row, three in the middle, and four on the bottom. These represent the city's patron saints and highlight the city's strong historical ties to its bishops and ecclesiastical heritage.

Colors & Symbolism

The careful selection of colors contributes significantly to the arms' meaning. The silver/white of the shield signifies purity and peace. The vibrant red of the flames/fleurs-de-lis symbolizes courage and strength. The deep black of the crowns denotes authority and serves as a solemn remembrance of the Magi, connecting the city to its spiritual heritage.

The coat of arms, a symbol of Cologne's rich history, is easily identifiable and carries within it stories of pilgrimage, religious significance, and the enduring legacy of this great city.

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.
