    Here are the colors you may use.​
    These are reference color values.​
    If your shades don't match exactly, that's fine.​
    As long as we can tell what color it is, you're probably fine.​

    Cheers,
    nice idea :). Maybe I use something like this (not sure about the color, etc):

    Great. I'll reserve a spot for when you have a final design.

    Here is my coat of arms: it represents the polar nights of north (when the sun doesn't rise at all), the aurora borealis in the bottom, and our brightest star on top, the pole star. Black / silver. Winter is coming, brace yourselves! :)

    A humble beginning, but I think it will work!

    I plan on using my family crest also. Go to this link for 475px version: http://s24.postimg.org/v5twiaahx/Haupt_Crest.jpg

    EDIT: After researching grave sites, death records, historical texts, and a family tree made by my grandfather, I discovered that this is almost certainly not my crest in any way. So, I'll change it in the future.

    Silly question,

    Is there a specific program that you're using to generate/create the crests?

    I hacked mine together in Paint, but there are generators on the web. No good ones that I could find.

    Nice stuff! Heraldry is great!



    I'm sure anyone wanting a heraldric design , if they didn't want to tackle it themselves, could also ask a friendly-community artist for help!

    We certainly can just make one up!
    I would think the only issue might be if we're trying to impersonate a real person, which we aren't.
    This is fantasy.

    I'll mark you down as one amber cicada on black!

    edit: I used the square image for the last update, but I'll go in and change it to the shield.

    Well I don't have one 'finalized' yet.. I'm going to have a personal one.. KoNB will have one and then I'll probably do a version with both for my personal use.

    What I do know right now is that mine will likely be a gold eagle (or 3) with red & white. The guild's will have a red dragon with white and blue.

    What I haven't worked out is the style. I have samples but I think it'd be premature to post right now.

    I look forward to seeing all of them. I'll add individual and guild and taverns, and whatever else has a symbol.

    Depending on how detailed the game presents the family crests, I may end up swapping mine out for one with less detail once we get the ability to upload them into the game.
