I need help making a Coat of Arms for my Nation

[Johanness]

Can anyone help? I really need one, and the ones I made are horrible.

Use this website.

How can you make a coat of arms using this website? It doesn't make sense.

Firstly, I'm not making coats of arms for anyone else. Sorry. Don't use any of those generator websites, they suck.

This page has a delightful assortment of vectorized elements. I use Inkscape to put them together. You can use any vector program, such as Adobe Illustrator.

The shields are listed under "escutcheon shapes." Some have a transparent gradient shape. Put one on top of the shield design to give it a cool 3-D look. Remember that heraldry has certain rules. You can find them here.

Thanks. Really helpful

Most of the elements are low HD though. I'll try and make something though

BTW, Plem, nice job on the coats of arms that you did. They're quite nice.

Oh god, these are SO low Definition. This huge crown is like only 1 KB, if I put them together they will look like flashy crap. How did you do yours?

I may need help making one now

I think you fail to understand vector graphics. Just because they take up a small amount of space doesn't mean they're low definition. In fact vector files can be infinitely scaled up.

Technically they don't have a "definition," "resolution," or "quality." They are really text files which specify shapes that can be rendered at any scale, not pixels.

No, I mean they look crappy when I try and make it bigger .-.
