Factions Guild Emblem Contest Winners

During the months of March and April 2006, we offered another opportunity for gamers to play an active role in enhancing the Guild Wars world. In celebration of the new game—Guild Wars Factions—player were invited to design and submit their favorite concept for a new guild emblem.

The Factions Guild Emblem Contest drew entries from around the world—from four continents and more than a thousand fans. The art was as distinctive as the players themselves, with images based on nature, on combat, on cultural themes, and on just about everything in between. A few entries were so excellent it was impossible to sort out the best of a certain type. In those cases, we submitted two, or even three, similar images to the judges. All winning entries will form the inspiration or the core concept from which the Art Team will work as they create the actual guild image. (You can see examples of this process—the original art and the finished emblem—in the winners page from our first Guild Emblem Contest.)

The final emblems will be incorporated into the game within the next few months, and will then be available to all Guild Wars players. We will update this page when the final art is available, so you can see the new guild emblems! http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/emblem/gwf-emblem-winners.php
