                Crest shield template:

The community picks are as follows (number of votes also included):

                Great shield template

                  Tally Shield (no emblem, spotted design) 3403 votes

The Marcus shield, notably, was made as a tribute to famous YouTuber ENB aka EpicNameBro, who dedicated hours to discovering Dark Souls’ secrets playing the Japanese version far before the US release. It should be no surprise, then, that it was the most popular community choice.

All of the winners get a special edition of Dark Souls II. Which of these designs are you looking forward to seeing in the game?
