A better guild crest system would be nice

As an example, I just threw this together using Photoshop...only took a few min so its not spectacular but its an idea of what I'd prefer to see. Using an existing emblem, I added a thicker beveled border, embossed the white background of the crest a little to make it stand out, and for the diamonds; I darkened the color and added some contour to give them depth.

I like it! It's the least that they could do to make the emblems more visually appealing. If I had my way, I'm add an editor for creating detailed coat of arms, but I don't know how they would appear shrunken down to the size of the crests.

I'm a dreamer, not an artist. Much to my shame.
