How to set your Aion legion emblem

  1. Design the emblem above — upload a logo or draw one in the 256×256 editor.
  2. Download the BMP, or the PNG if you want to add alpha transparency.
  3. Rename it Emblem.bmp — or convert the PNG to an uncompressed Emblem.tga — and save it in your Aion folder.
  4. As legion master, talk to the Legion Emblem Manager in Sanctum (Elyos) or Pandaemonium (Asmodian).
  5. Register the emblem. It then shows on every member's cloak and in the legion window.

Custom uploads need a rank 3 legion. If a TGA appears with a black box in-game, re-export it with RLE compression off.

About Aion legion emblems

In Aion, a legion is the game's name for a guild, and its emblem is unusually generous: a full 256×256 image rather than the cramped 16- or 24-pixel crests other MMOs hand out. That extra room is deliberate — the emblem is printed across the back of every member's cloak, so it is meant to read clearly from across a battlefield. The client accepts the image as a 24-bit BMP or, for richer designs, a TGA, and the file must be named Emblem with the matching extension.

The standout feature is transparency. Because Aion reads a 32-bit TGA with a full alpha channel, an emblem can fade at the edges, carry soft glows, or sit on a see-through background — effects that solid-fill formats like the older BMP and indexed-colour crests simply cannot store. The one catch is compression: the client only understands an uncompressed TGA, so leaving RLE enabled at export is the single most common reason an emblem turns into a black square in-game.

Design tips for Aion emblems. Even with 256 pixels to play with, the cloak curves and moves, so favour a bold central mark over fine filigree. Tie the palette to your faction for instant recognition — radiant golds and whites read as Elyos, deep violets and shadow tones as Asmodian. Build the artwork on a transparent background, export the PNG here, then convert it to a 32-bit TGA in an editor so the alpha survives. Check the result against the light and dark previews above so the emblem stays legible whether it flies over Sanctum or Pandaemonium.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aion legion emblems are 256×256 pixels — far larger than most MMO crests — saved as a 24-bit BMP or a TGA. The bigger canvas is why Aion emblems can carry real detail across a cloak. This tool exports the exact 256×256 dimensions; rename the file Emblem.bmp (or convert the PNG to Emblem.tga) before registering.

Your legion must reach rank 3 to upload a custom 256×256 image. Rank 2 legions can only pick from the built-in preset emblems. Reaching rank 3 typically needs 20+ members, a pool of contribution points, and a kinah upgrade fee, so confirm your legion qualifies before designing.

Save the finished file in your Aion installation folder, then talk to the Legion Emblem Manager NPC — in Sanctum if you are Elyos, or in Pandaemonium if you are Asmodian. The legion master or a brigade general with the right permission submits the image there.

Yes, but only in TGA form. A 32-bit TGA carries a full alpha channel, so areas of the emblem can be transparent or softly faded — something almost no other MMO allows. The BMP this tool writes is opaque, so for alpha download the PNG and convert it to a 32-bit TGA in an image editor, keeping the transparency intact.

Yes. The 256×256 emblem standard is shared across retail Aion, Aion Classic and the regional and private servers built on the same client. A few servers change the upload route — some use a web panel instead of the NPC — so check your server's guide if the in-game step differs.

That is almost always RLE compression. When you export the TGA, make sure RLE (run-length) compression is unchecked — the Aion client reads only uncompressed TGA. Re-saving without RLE, and confirming the alpha channel is set on the transparent areas, fixes the black background.

Run through the usual culprits: the image must be exactly 256×256, it must be a 24-bit BMP or an uncompressed TGA, the file has to be named correctly (Emblem.bmp / Emblem.tga), and your legion must be rank 3. Any one of these being off will make the client reject it.

On legion cloaks worn by every member, in the legion information window, beside members' names, and on the banners and fortress UI during siege warfare. Because it rides on the cloak at full size, an Aion emblem reads from much further away than a tiny guild crest, so bold shapes pay off.

No. Everything happens locally with JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas — your source picture and the exported BMP or PNG never leave your computer. You can even use the tool offline once the page has loaded.
