{{Codex TOC}}[[Warbanners]] are the standards, or flags, that identify an individual, whether he be a Force User or a Non-Force User, on the field of battle. The design, color, stripes, and charge of the warbanner help to identify individuals, while medallions identify those of leadership positions in the various clans or those that hold a Clan title.

[[Warbanners]] are personal banners, also known as standards or flags, which can be displayed on a member’s [[dossier]]. They can choose to decorate it with a crest or emblem of their choosing, one which represents them as an individual. These warbanners are customizable and offer a wide range of options in addition to the aforementioned emblem, such as a selection of rank-specific colors, decorative stripes, and banner shapes.


Warbanners are created and updated by the office of the [[Herald]]. A member may design and submit a warbanner to the Herald's staff, however there is no guarantee that it will be accepted, as the Herald's staff are the ones who are in charge to design and uphold the quality of the warbanners.
These options allow a member to create and display a personal visual brand on their member dossier. The Warbanner graphics are created and updated by the office of the [[Herald]]. A member may design their own using the Warbanner template available in the [[Herald#Herald_Resources|Herald Resources]] and submit it to the Herald's staff for approval. All warbanners are subject to the same prerequisites established on this page

Warbanners are personal banners, also known as standards or flags, which can be displayed on a member’s dossier. They can choose to decorate it with a crest or emblem of their choosing, one which represents them as an individual. These warbanners are customizable and offer a wide range of options in addition to the aforementioned emblem, such as a selection of rank-specific colors, decorative stripes, and banner shapes.

These options allow a member to create and display a personal visual brand on their member dossier. The Warbanner graphics are created and updated by the office of the Herald.
