To be brutally honest, I don't really like any of them. The entire 'theme' just doesn't go well with me. Maybe instead of recoloring and reshading the same ideas we could see a couple of different ideas? Course I suck at artwork, so I'm in kind of a 'beggars can't be choosers' situation here. Same here. Well that and I lack the time to try to attempt anything. A quick idea came to mind, maybe editing out the sword and axe from the logo and place the fire emblem in front of kraft's symbol with other stuff along with it.

The problem I have with it is that compared to the overall dark and somewhat bland(no offense) appearance of the banner, the Prophet's symbol sticks out like a sore thumb. It throws the whole thing off. I think it suffices to say that inverted colors may not be the best choice. The setup of Richter's third looks the most promising to me. If the whole banner wasn't so dark compared to the Prophet's symbol it would look better IMO. And I don't mean for anyone to go and make the Prophet's symbol darker. Make everything else brighter.
You don't have to follow up on my opinion. I don't want anyone thinking I'm barking orders. Just tossing in my two cents, really.

Well, reading previous posts leads me to believe that some people want to see different ideas as well, so here's one I threw together quickly:

You guys could have told me this before I made the frikkin' thing four times. It's not like I'm going to go cry myself to sleep if you tell me you don't like it. Also, Knylis, could you link me to the image on the left? I've been looking for that thing for ages.

I liked Kynlis previous one, but I you've got a point that the Prophet's symbol is a bit too... yellowish? Make it dark, or whatever. Whatever works!

It's ok. Back to the hunt, I guess.

Does anybody know if there's a font that's based off of Fire Emblem? I'll try to see what I can come up with if I get the time.

It's better then the others you've done so far, but I like Kyn's more.
I think the problem I have is that the prophet's symbol always seems to clash with everything.

I actually like that the most so far.
EDIT: Let me say why. It's got enough shading and variation to catch the eye, but still blends well with the natural back round of the site to keep it from being glaring or overbearing.
I think it's quite good.

That doesn't suck at all. You're far too modest.

Oh man, do I have to pick just one?
-I like Aleths for the reasons pointed out by Valorian. Also, the no-logo actually looks pretty good.
-I like the shading behind The Prophet's symbol on Richter's sword. It has a simple appearance, but all the shading on it (the sword as well) has a dynamic effect that I like.
-I like Kynlis' post too. The Armies rallying seems relevant to this story arc.
-If I had to support one it would be...hold on a minute. My mom says she likes Aleth's. Lol! I asked her which one caught her interest more...
-Ok, I like...All of them, but I'd support Kynlis'. I like that table thing to the right, and I like the nations gathering their armies theme.
Edit: Another one. We are being showered by art... While I think the Black Knight is really cool, I can't see the relation to the plot, unless that is a nonrevealed plot so far... Anyway, looks good, but I wouldn't support it for the new default banner.
