Japan Navy OF-8 (Japan) (Military Rank) Sticker: Design Description

This sticker features the distinguished insignia of a Kaigun Chūjō, or Vice Admiral, within the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). The design adheres to the established visual language of the IJN's rank structure, providing an instantly recognizable representation of this senior flag officer's status.

Shoulder Board Interpretation

The design faithfully replicates the shoulder board insignia. The central element is a broad gold stripe, symbolizing the rank and authority of a Vice Admiral. A distinctive feature is the executive curl, or loop, incorporated into the broad stripe, traditionally found on dress uniform embellishments. Above this prominent stripe are two narrower gold stripes, visually reinforcing the hierarchical position within the naval command structure.

Sleeve Insignia Replication

The artwork also incorporates elements of the sleeve insignia, the second means of rank display. A broad gold stripe around the cuff is present, again with the inclusion of the loop design at the top and the two narrow gold stripes placed just above. This duplication of the insignia reinforces the commitment to representing the rank.

Color Palette and Symbolism

The dominant colors are gold, representing rank and prestige, set against a dark background, the traditional color of IJN uniforms, (navy/black) This creates a clear contrast and ensures the insignia’s prominence. The overall design is a concise and accurate visual representation of the rank of Vice Admiral, conveying both authority and tradition.

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.
