Uploading Shields

[Mike Louis]

I just created some shields for use for my custom scenario. Does anyone know how to upload the shields onto the fourm? (Format with the one shield showing.)

To have it show up on a post, obtain webspace that allows external linkage (most of the free webspace providers won't), and enclose its address in [IMG] [/IMG] tags, like so:

Quote this post to see exactly how it's done.



If, on the other hand, you want it to show up as a custom avatar - the shield that appears under your name to the left of your posts - only Patric can do that (and he probably won't; see his relevant announcement here).

Thanks for the help, here's the shields I made for my scenario. Now the only thing I need is the flags for the shields.

Shield U00

Shield U01

Shield U02

Shield U03

Shield U04

Shield U05

Shield U06

Now that I managed to make shields, I would like your opinions on the samples above.

Looks good, but remember to fill out the entire background color. Look to the left and the top of your shields and you'll see what I mean.
The cross in shield U03 doesn't look proportional, try to make the horizontal field a bit thinner.

Btw, I'm a picky guy on right color and proportions, (hence all my remakes), so you shouldn't really mind me.
Keep up the good work!

from where are that shields, specially 2,3 and 5

I got the shield designs from the pictures in Blazon 2000. It's a heraldry software program which you can download as shareware. I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro to design the shields which by the way are going to be used in my custom scenario.

I like the fifth and the sixth most. But the fifth has a thin white line across the top A bug or a feature?
