HALO 5 REFORGED - EMBLEM TEMPLATE PACK
======================================

Full guidelines: emblems.html on the Halo 5 Reforged website.
Submit in the #emblem-submissions channel on the Halo 5 Reforged Discord.

An emblem is a name plus three images. Every image is three stacked grayscale layers:
white = "paint this layer's color here", black = "nothing here", grays = soft edges.
The game paints them bottom to top: BACKGROUND, then SECONDARY, then PRIMARY.
Layers may overlap; a lower layer usually continues under the one above.

  Canvas      Size        4x (optional)   Layers
  tile        136 x 68    544 x 272       background (all white), primary, optional secondary
  nameplate   324 x 68    1296 x 272      background (all white), optional primary/secondary
  detail      512 x 512   2048 x 2048     primary, optional secondary, optional background shape

Placement, measured from the emblems shipped with Halo 5:
  tile        figure inside about x 26-94, y 4-64, centered near x 60 (not 68).
              On nameplates the Spartan Rank number is drawn over x 95-128. No text.
  nameplate   sits beside the tile; the gamertag and service tag are drawn over
              its left side from about x 14: keep x 0-240 calm.
              Logo wordmarks sit bottom-right, about x 220-316, y 48-66, 11-16 px tall.
  detail      empty around the emblem (no full background). Background = optional
              backing shape (shield, ring). Keep about 24 px clear; wordmark y 400-488.
