Vintage Sunset SVG Badge: Salty Lil’ Beach Mermaid for Summer Shirts and Totes
This vintage sunset SVG is a single retro badge showing a black mermaid silhouette seated on ocean waves, with horizontal sunset stripes behind her and the words SALTY and LIL’ BEACH above and below. You receive SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS and PDF files, made for cutting vinyl, printing on shirts, or pressing onto mugs and totes. The artwork uses navy blue, mustard gold, tan orange and rust red stripes, with the black mermaid as the focal point. Its distressed, weathered edges give it the worn look of an old beach-town sign, which suits summer trips, family vacations and beach groups. Because the lettering is bold, it reads clearly even at small sizes on stickers and decals. The file is a clean vector, so you can scale it up for a large tote or down for a laptop decal without losing sharpness.
Design breakdown
The design is cut in 4 layers: a black mermaid silhouette with her tail fin, the black ocean waves, the horizontal sunset stripes in navy blue, mustard gold, tan orange and rust red, and the black lettering for SALTY and LIL’ BEACH within the badge frame. Black is used for the silhouette, waves and text, so each colour can be cut or printed as its own piece. Fine details such as the tail fin and wave edges are best cut at 4 inches or larger. The file is provided on a white background in portrait orientation, and it is a single design on one sheet.
