World Map - Satellite (2001) - Design Description

Visual Representation

This decal presents a snapshot of Earth as it appeared in the year 2001, rendered through the lens of satellite imagery. The design is a direct translation of data gathered by orbiting satellites, offering a panoramic view of the planet’s surface. It's an aerial photograph of our home, showcasing the complex tapestry of continents, oceans, and geographical features.

Artwork and Details

The artwork is built upon the natural hues and textures of the Earth. Lush green forests, arid brown deserts, sparkling blue oceans, and pristine white ice caps are depicted, offering a true-to-life representation of our planet's diverse environments. The color palette mirrors the actual appearance of Earth from space, allowing for immediate recognition of landforms and water bodies. While not possessing the ultra-high resolution of modern satellite imagery, the design provides clear distinctions between continents and oceans, and larger geographical features such as mountain ranges are visible.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design carries the symbolism of observation and global awareness. The world map, taken from the vantage point of space, represents the interconnectedness of all nations and ecosystems. It evokes a sense of perspective and the wonder of our planet seen from an extraordinary view. The 2001 date acts as a historical marker, capturing a moment in time and offering a glimpse into the past of mapping technology and Earth's dynamic appearance.

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.
