Lineage 2 Ally Crest Maker – Free 8×12 Alliance Crest

Clan + ally crest preview — the 24×12 pair players see

Once your clan joins an alliance, Lineage 2 draws two badges together beside every member's name: the 8×12 ally crest on the left and the clan's own 16×12 crest on the right, edge to edge — a single 24×12 strip. A badge that looks fine on its own can clash with the crest next to it, so check the pair here before the leader registers anything. The left slot mirrors the ally crest you upload or draw above, live. For the right slot, pick a sample clan crest or load the crest.bmp your clan already uses.

This is a preview only — the file you register is still the 8×12 allycrest.bmp from the Download button. Some alliances design one 24×12 banner that runs across both slots; draw its left 8 columns here, make the right 16 in the L2 clan crest maker (16×12), then load that crest above to line up the seam.

Free Lineage 2 alliance crests — ready-made 8×12 downloads

Most alliances just want a clean, readable badge, and at 8×12 pixels there is only room for bold shapes. Each design below — banners, crosses, crowns, stripes — saves in one click as allycrest.bmp, already 8×12 and 256-colour, with empty pixels filled black (L2 crests have no transparency). Pair it with your clan's own 16×12 crest, then set it from the Alliance window as described below.

How to set your Lineage 2 alliance crest

1. Design your 8×12 badge above — upload an image or draw it in the pixel editor.
2. Click Download to save allycrest.bmp (an 8×12, 256-colour BMP).
3. In Lineage 2, open the Alliance window from the Clan/Alliance menu.
4. Choose Set Alliance Crest (the wording varies by client) and browse to allycrest.bmp.
5. Confirm. The badge then shows beside every member clan's own crest.

Only the alliance leader — the clan leader of the alliance's founding clan — can set or change it. An alliance must already exist with at least one member clan before the crest option appears.

Ally crest not applying? Quick checks

• The file is refused. An alliance crest must be exactly 8×12 pixels and a 256-colour (8-bit) BMP — not the 16×12 size used for clan crests. Downloads from this page are already sized correctly.
• No “Set Alliance Crest” option. Only the alliance leader sees it, and the alliance needs to exist with a member clan first.
• You picked a clan crest by mistake. Clan and alliance crests are different images at different sizes; a 16×12 clan crest won't fit the 8×12 alliance slot. Build a fresh one here.
• Allies still see the old badge. Like clan crests, the alliance crest refreshes for other players after a relog or zone change.
• The art looks cramped. At 8×12 you have just 96 pixels — drop to a single mark and two or three flat colours.

About Lineage 2 alliance crests

In Lineage 2 an alliance binds several clans under one banner, and the alliance crest is the shared mark that travels with all of them. At 8×12 pixels it is exactly half the width of a clan crest, and the game paints it directly beside each clan's own 16×12 emblem — so the two are read together, like a coalition flag flying next to a house sigil.

Unlike a clan crest, which broadcasts a single guild's identity, the alliance crest works as a membership marker — it signals at a glance which clans are standing together right now. Alliances are fluid: the badge tends to change as clans are recruited or go their separate ways, so the leader picks something the whole coalition can rally behind rather than any one clan's heraldry.

Only the alliance leader registers the crest, and it stays fixed for every member clan until the leader changes it — individual clans keep their own 16×12 crests alongside it. If a clan leaves or is expelled, it simply stops displaying the shared badge on its members.

Forming an alliance. An alliance starts when a clan leader invites another clan leader to join; the inviting clan becomes the founding clan, and its leader is the alliance leader. Only that person can register the badge. Once it is in place, the game shows your 8×12 badge to the left of each member clan's 16×12 crest, so every member carries a 24×12 pair; the preview above on this page does exactly that using your editor design. If a clan leaves or is dismissed, its members lose the shared badge and keep only their own crest.

Server differences. Depending on the client, the leader registers the BMP with the /allycrest chat command (/allycrestdel removes it) or through the alliance window. Exact commands and labels vary by chronicle and private server, so ask your staff which steps apply.

Ally crest not showing? Confirm the leader registered it, that your clan is still in the alliance, that you relogged, and that the BMP is 8-bit and exactly 8×12 and was saved as allycrest.bmp, the name this tool downloads.

Practical tips for leaders. Agree the badge with your co-leaders before registering, since changing it later means re-registering for everyone. Test the pairing against several member crests, because a busy clan emblem can swallow a pale alliance mark. Mirror-check contrast: bright alliance colours beside a dark clan crest separate cleanly, whereas two similar hues blur. Archive each revision with a dated filename; coalitions often reuse older banners after reunions or merges. Screenshot the pairing in town, near a siege flag, and under dim dungeon lighting before committing; tiny badges shift noticeably across environments, and unusual monitor calibration can hide faint gradients entirely. Remember that alliances disband too, so name your files by season or alliance title rather than overwriting one master copy. A short README beside the files noting palette hex values, authors and approval dates saves arguments later.

Designing for 8×12. With just 96 pixels in a narrow, upright rectangle, an alliance crest is closer to a tiny icon than an illustration. A single clear motif — a rune, a numeral, an animal track, a chevron — holds up far better than anything scaled down from a full logo. Since players see the alliance badge and a member clan's crest together, keep the alliance mark spare and let each clan carry the more detailed artwork.

Building your full clan identity? Most leaders make both: the Lineage 2 clan crest (16×12) for the clan itself, and this 8×12 alliance badge for the coalition.
