Make a mark
of your own.
A little symmetry. A little chaos.
Forge your own stave-inspired symbol.
Turn a few dials.
See what emerges.
Old-world inspiration.
An entirely new mark.
Stave Forge is a small playground for radial symbols, inspired by the visual language of Icelandic magical staves. Start with a form, move the sliders, and follow your curiosity.
Every design here is a contemporary creation. These patterns are not historical reproductions and carry no assigned magical meaning. You bring the meaning.
How do I make and save a stave?
Choose a starting design, then decide whether the arms match, mirror each other, or each go their own way. Adjust the number of arms, the amount of detail, the center rings, and the line weight. Pick an ending for every arm, leave it on Mixed, or forge a random design. Export SVG for scalable artwork or PNG for a 2048-pixel image. Share copies a link that recreates your exact settings.
Where are my designs stored?
Your latest design is remembered on this device when browser storage is available. Generation and downloads happen in your browser. No account is needed. Share links contain the design settings, not an uploaded image.
