About Lineage 2 clan crests

Lineage 2 ships your clan's identity in a tiny 16×12 pixel rectangle that the engine paints next to every member's name and on every clan hall flag. The rectangular shape — wider than tall — is unusual among MMOs and traces back to the original NCsoft client, where the crest had to fit between the character name and the HP bar without crowding either one. That ratio rewards horizontal silhouettes and punishes tall designs.

During fortress and castle sieges your crest appears on every banner placed by your clan, on the territory map, and on the scoreboard during PvP. Members of allied clans see it in the alliance window. Spectators in town watch it scroll past every time a clan member rides through. For all of those moments, simple heraldic shapes — a cross, a single animal silhouette, two-tone designs — read far better than dense detail at 16×12.

The Clan Leader is the only character who can register or change the crest, and the clan must reach the required level for the option to unlock (the level varies by server version — L2 Live, Classic, and Essence each set their own). Once registered, the new crest is immediate for the leader; other members see it on their next zone transition.

Design tips for L2 crests. The wider-than-tall canvas rewards horizontal symbols: a leaping lion, a wolf in profile, two crossed swords, a longbow drawn flat. Vertical designs (towers, single sword pointing up) get cropped or squished. Keep the colour count low — the 8-bit indexed BMP format quantises everything to a 256-colour palette anyway, and clans with 3-4 strong colours read better at distance during siege scoreboards than busy 20-colour gradients. Alliance crests are stored separately and use the same dimensions but are rendered next to the clan crest, so colours that complement rather than clash with allies pay off in mass PvP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lineage 2 uses a wider rectangular shape for clan crests to match the display area in the clan window and above character names. The tool handles this automatically when resizing your image.

Yes, the crest format is the same across all Lineage 2 versions — L2 Live, Classic, Essence, and community servers.

Simple logos, pixel art, bold icons, and symbols. Avoid photographs, gradients, or highly detailed artwork — they don't scale well to such a small size. Upload a PNG for best results, or use the built-in pixel editor and clipart.

Above characters' heads next to the clan name, in the clan window, on clan hall flags, during siege warfare, and in various clan UI elements.

Clan crests represent individual clans. Alliance crests represent allied clan groups and may use a different size. This tool generates clan crests specifically.

Start with the built-in gallery — it's hand-picked for the 16×12 rectangular canvas, which is unusually wide. For more variety, three sites are worth a look. game-icons.net hosts around 4,000 fantasy and medieval SVG icons under CC BY 3.0 (attribution required) — the catalogue maps cleanly to L2's setting. SVG Repo is a much larger pool filterable by license, with many CC0 entries. OpenClipart is public domain. Pick something with a strong silhouette — a lion, dragon, crossed swords, two-tone heraldic shield — drop it into the upload tab, then run Enhance to reduce colours and tighten edges for the 16×12 output. Wide silhouettes fit the rectangular crest shape better than tall ones.
