How to add a guild emblem in Silkroad Online

  1. Design your emblem above — upload an image or draw one with the pixel editor.
  2. Click Download to get a 16×16 24-bit BMP.
  3. Rename it guildmark.bmp for a guild, or unionmark.bmp for a union.
  4. Move the file into your Silkroad Online game folder.
  5. Log in as guild master, open the guild menu, and set/register the emblem.
  6. Confirm — the emblem shows once the guild data refreshes for members.

Only the guild master (or union leader) can set the emblem. Exact folder and menu wording vary slightly between official and private (vSRO) servers.

About Silkroad Online guild & union emblems

In Silkroad Online your guild emblem is the little 16×16 badge that travels everywhere your guild name does — beside characters, in the guild window, on member lists, and in the guild and union panels other players inspect. Despite being only 256 pixels in total, it's one of the most-seen pieces of identity in the game, especially during Fortress War and the crowded trade routes between Jangan, Donwhang and Hotan where dozens of guild tags share the screen at once.

The client is strict about the file: it must be precisely 16×16 pixels and a 24-bit RGB .bmp. There is no alpha channel, so every pixel shows as a solid color — build the design as a full square rather than a floating cut-out. A guild uses guildmark.bmp and a union (an alliance of guilds) uses unionmark.bmp; the image format is identical, only the filename changes. Older communities passed around 24×24 256-color packs, but the format the modern client wants is the 16×16 24-bit BMP this tool produces.

Design tips for SRO emblems. At this size, restraint wins. Pick two or three high-contrast colors and one strong shape — a sword, a yin-yang, a beast head, a Chinese or European crest, or a tight one- or two-letter monogram. Avoid photos, gradients and fine lettering; they turn to mud after the downscale. Because the badge sits against many different UI tones, check it on the dark and light preview swatches above so the silhouette stays legible whether it's next to a name plate, in the guild list, or on the world map. Run Enhance to reduce the palette and crisp the edges before you export.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exactly 16×16 pixels, saved as a 24-bit RGB BMP. The Silkroad client rejects other sizes or color depths. This tool always outputs that format, so you don't have to set anything by hand.

Both are 16×16 24-bit BMP files — only the filename differs. A single guild uses guildmark.bmp; a union (an alliance of several guilds) uses unionmark.bmp. Make the image here, then rename the download to match what you're setting.

Name a guild emblem guildmark.bmp and a union emblem unionmark.bmp. The tool downloads a correctly-formatted BMP; just rename it before dropping it into your Silkroad folder.

No. A 24-bit BMP stores every pixel as a solid color with no alpha channel, so design your emblem to read as a complete 16×16 square rather than relying on a cut-out.

Place the file in your Silkroad Online game folder, then — as the guild master — open the guild menu in-game and set/register the emblem. Members see it after the guild data refreshes.

Sixteen pixels is tiny. Bold single icons, a sword or crest silhouette, a yin-yang, or a one- or two-letter monogram survive the downscale far better than photos or fine text. Use Enhance to cut colors and sharpen edges.

Next to your character and in the guild window, the guild/union member lists, and guild information panels other players see — so it's effectively your guild's identity badge across the world.

No. The whole tool runs locally in your browser with HTML5 Canvas; your picture never leaves your device, which is safer than the random emblem-pack downloads floating around old forums.

The built-in gallery is tuned for 16×16. For more, game-icons.net has 4,000+ CC BY 3.0 icons (swords, crests, beasts that suit SRO's setting), SVG Repo has a huge filterable CC0 catalogue, and OpenClipart is public domain. Pick a bold silhouette, drop it in, and run Enhance.
