Looking for a resource to create custom emblems for my campaing

kybelius

I've been looking for a good resource to design custom emblems for my campaign. (I'm wanting to create heraldry as well as religious symbols for various organizations for my campaign). Anyone know of any?

Thanks in advance!

There are a couple of free online generators that use traditional heraldric elements. You can always try those for a quick fix, but I find them a little unsatisfying for use in a fantasy realm. I prefer to just Google the elements I want to include in the emblem, import them into my graphics editor and combine them with some filters until I get a result I like.

Here are some of the generators

"Heraldry Generator":http://www.sleepingdog.org.uk/flash/heraldry/

"Coat of Arms Design Studio":http://inkwellideas.com/coat_of_arms/?page_id=8

and some examples of stuff I've made just by combining elements taken from a google search.

If you need a capable, free graphics editor, I recommend "GIMP":http://www.gimp.org/
