MapleStory emblem gallery

Why use this MapleStory emblem gallery?

Some users want to draw a new emblem or resize their own image to 17x17; others want a finished design to start with. This gallery serves the latter. It combines 220 Toolvil originals, 80 presets from the emblem editor and 200 CC0 designs whose recorded sources identify reuse terms. Choose a design here, then download it or continue in the editor. The files are pixel artwork; game upload rules still depend on your region and server.

A 17x17 image has only 289 cells. Complex logos lose their shape when reduced, and letters with many strokes become hard to read. The original designs therefore emphasize clear silhouettes: shields, crowns, weapons, flames, wings, stars and moons, runes, jewels and nature. There are also 14 Hangul consonant badges and 26 Latin initial badges for guild names. The editor presets add hearts, stars, animals, food and expressive faces.

Every design has an actual-size 17x17 view, an 8x enlargement and a sample game nameplate. A design that looks good enlarged can still blur at its final size. Color variants help match your guild’s style. Downloads are JPG or PNG; consult the upload guide for your game region before using them. The preview illustrates appearance and does not guarantee that every regional game client will accept the file.

Use it in cases like this

  • Choosing a shield, crown or star quickly when you have no time to draw. The Korean guide’s GP 225,000 example is a regional requirement, not a universal upload rule.
  • Using an initial badge such as ㄱ, ㅁ, A or K to represent the first letter of your guild name.
  • Replacing a photo or large logo that loses its shape at 17x17 with a clearer symbol.
  • Starting from a design you like, then changing a few cells to your guild colors in the editor.

Checklist before applying

  • Check that the design is recognizable in the actual 17x17 preview.
  • Check your region’s game UI and official upload rules. Guild level 10 and GP 225,000 are the cited Korean guide’s conditions. GP means in-game guild points.
  • Check that your modified design is not confusingly similar to another guild, trademark or well-known logo.
  • Remember that a transparent PNG lets the background show through, while a JPG includes a white background.

How to use an emblem design

  1. Choose a category that fits the mood from the full list.
  2. Search for a keyword such as shield, crown, heart, cat, ㄱ, A or CC0.
  3. Select a card and compare the actual 17x17 preview with the 8x enlargement.
  4. Choose a color variant to match your guild. Select Original to return to the original colors.
  5. Download a transparent PNG or a white-background JPG when the design is ready.
  6. For pixel edits, open the emblem editor, use the pen, fill or flip tools, then save.

Criteria for choosing quality

Judge an emblem at its actual size rather than by its enlarged preview. At 17x17, the silhouette, central accent and color contrast matter more than fine detail. A clear design keeps its shape when one or two colors disappear and stands out on a dark game UI. The 220 originals use dark outlines, 3~6 colors and symmetry. Each of the 9 shape categories combines 5 basic forms with 4 decorations, such as a border, base or sparkle, giving 20 designs per category.

Keep letter badges simple. Long text and complex syllables become unclear in a tiny grid, so these badges use one Hangul consonant or one Latin initial with thick strokes. Compare the small preview beside a nameplate before deciding whether it represents your guild clearly.

Ways to refine a design further

Edit in the emblem editor opens the selected design and color variant in the drawing view. Originals use the editor’s 32-color palette, so their cells transfer unchanged. CC0 designs and recolored versions are matched to the nearest palette colors when necessary. The editor offers a pen, eraser, fill, color picker, undo, horizontal and vertical flips and 90° rotation. Change a few cells, add an initial or adjust the colors before saving.

For a more distinctive emblem, use the gallery as a concept reference and create a new 17x17 design from your own image in the editor. This can reduce overlap with other guilds and make the symbol more specific to your guild name.

Sources and scope of use of externally published designs

The 200 CC0 designs come from OpenGameArt’s Shields CC0, Shields 2 CC0, CC0 Shield Icons. They include shield artwork credited to SnoopethDuckDuck, Cethiel, hernandack, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup contributors, 7Soul1, babysamurai, OpenClipart contributors and ScratchIO. The same recorded source archives used by the Lineage emblem gallery were converted again for a 17x17 grid.

The original pages identify these works as CC0 1.0, allowing copying, modification and commercial use under its terms. Transparent areas were cleaned and the artwork fitted to 17x17 with nearest-neighbor sampling. Downloads use the same pixel arrangement. Source archive URLs and SHA-256 hashes are retained in the repository’s source manifest. Other rights, such as trademarks, can still apply.

Being published online, or having no copyright notice, does not by itself mean that free use is allowed. This gallery excludes community and blog designs whose license is unclear from collection, and adds only materials whose redistribution and modification terms can be checked in the original text.

The 500 designs consist of 220 Toolvil originals, 80 editor presets and 200 CC0 adaptations at 17x17. Check the official game guidance for your region’s upload conditions and image policy.

Calculation basis and sources

Calculation scope
Choose among 500 designs in 17x17 pixels: 220 Toolvil originals, 80 editor presets and 200 CC0 designs. Search or filter by category, recolor, compare actual size, 8x zoom and a sample nameplate, then save a transparent PNG, a white-background JPG or open the editor.
Calculation method
Designs are stored as 17 rows x 17 columns of characters plus a color table, drawn at 1 cell = 1 pixel in a browser canvas. Recoloring estimates the dominant hue with saturation weighting, then rotates hues while preserving saturation and lightness; grayscale colors stay unchanged. Editor handoff maps cells to the same or nearest color in its 32-color palette and passes a 289-character grid token in the URL.
Limits and disclaimer
Downloads use the 17x17 JPG/PNG format described in the cited Korean game guide. Actual registration depends on your region’s guild level, GP, permissions and image policy. CC0 entries rely on recorded source-page license declarations and are rechecked when those pages change.
Personal information processing
Design selection, recoloring and file encoding happen in the current browser. The gallery does not upload or store your search terms or edits on a server.

Frequently asked questions

How do I register a MapleStory guild emblem?

The cited Korean MapleStory guide requires guild level 10 or higher and GP 225,000 for custom emblems. The guild master or an authorized member can upload a 17x17 PNG or JPG through the guild UI. These are Korean conditions; check the official guide and permissions for your own region and server before uploading. GP means guild points, not a money price.

How is this different from the emblem editor?

The editor lets you upload an image or draw cells to create a 17x17 emblem. This gallery supplies finished designs to choose and download. Open a design in the editor to continue changing its colors and shape cell by cell.

How do color variants work?

Choose a hue such as red, blue or purple to shift the design’s main colors while retaining its shading and silhouette. Neutral outlines remain unchanged. Grayscale converts all colors to gray tones. The chosen variant is included in the download filename. Some designs do not change because they are already grayscale or already use that hue; the preview explains this.

Should I download a transparent PNG or a white-background JPG?

Choose PNG for transparent empty cells, or JPG to include a white background. The cited Korean guide accepts 17x17 JPG and PNG; check your own regional client’s requirements. Both downloads are saved at their actual 17x17 size, without the preview enlargement.

Can I use a design as it is?

Toolvil originals and editor presets may be used for personal guild-emblem creation. Designs marked CC0 may be copied, modified and used commercially under the original declaration. Game image policies still apply, and inappropriate images may be removed or sanctioned. Avoid designs that could be confused with another guild or trademark.
