WoW Guild Crests

Remember the amazing Warcraft guild crests from the WoW site, and the incredible crest creator? Alas, the creator is no longer available. Using the symbols and ideas, here is a custom Photoshop file to select options, colors, and save guild crests! This uses a mix of edited WoW discs, custom discs, WoW models, WoW Guild icons, and additional options.

Select existing emblems or add your own!
