Huge ornament chapter numbering

Question

Well, I'm using a such a code bellow, basically I would like to add ornaments to the numbering of this chapter... Any ideas, examples please? thanks a lot enter image description here

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}
  \makeatletter
       \def\@makechapterhead#1{%
        \vspace*{50\p@}%
        {\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
        %\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
        %    \huge\bfseries \@chapapp\space \thechapter
        %    \par\nobreak
        %    \vskip 20\p@
        %\fi
     \interlinepenalty\@M
          \Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
      \vskip 40\p@
       }}
      \makeatother

% Datei fancyheaders.tex
% Kopf- und Fu�zeile mit Paket fancyhdr
% Paket muss extra installiert werden


\usepackage{fancyhdr}   % Paket laden
 \pagestyle{fancy}  % bereitgestelltes Layout 'fancy' laden
 % Am Anfang jeder neuen \section wird deren Name in die linke Kopfzeile         geschrieben, dazu neuen command definieren
 %\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markboth{\thesection\ #1}{}}
 % Am Anfang jeder neuen \subsection wird deren Name in die rechte Kopfzeile  geschrieben, dazu neuen command definieren
 %\renewcommand{\subsectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesubsection\ #1}}
  %  Die so erzeugten Inhalte stehen jetzt mit den Befehlen
   % \leftmark und \rightmark zur Verf�gung und k�nnen wie im folgenden eingesetzt werden:
    % \lhead[\rightmark]{\rightmark}

  %\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\thechapter\ #1}{}}
   \renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\textsl{\thesection\ #1}}}

   %%\renewcommand\chaptermark[1]{\markboth{\textsl{\chaptername\  \thechapter\ : #1}}{}}
   %\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}

    \makeatletter
       \def\@makechapterhead#1{%

\usepackage{blindtext}

\newcommand{\chapnumfont}{%     % define font for chapter number

 \selectfont%                  % activate font
  }
  \colorlet{chapnumcol}{gray!100}  % color for chapter number

     \titleformat{\chapter}[display]

      \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
    \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
     \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}

The code snippet you just posted has nothing to do with the image. What exactly are you trying to achieve? What kind of ornaments do you want? Can you please add a complete minimal document producing the output you show in the image? — Gonzalo Medina, Feb 09 '14 at 16:06

Below I present several options produced with the help of the titlesec package.

Two simple alternatives . The first one simply draws a frame around the number; the second one uses a colored background with shades (requires TikZ):

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\let\cleardoublepage\relax     % just for the example

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}
  {\fbox{\makebox[3cm][r]{\fontsize{100}{130}\color{gray}\selectfont\thechapter}}}
  {20pt}
  {\Huge}
\chapter{Test chapter}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}
  {\tikz\node[inner xsep=0pt,top color=gray!10,bottom color=gray!70,text width=3.5cm,align=right] 
    {{\fontsize{100}{130}\color{gray}\selectfont\thechapter}};%
  }
  {20pt}
  {\Huge}
\chapter{Test chapter}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Another one, adding a simple rule to the right:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\let\cleardoublepage\relax     % just for the example

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}
  {{\fontsize{100}{130}\color{gray}\selectfont\thechapter\rlap{\vrule width 2pt height 100pt}}}
  {20pt}
  {\Huge}
\chapter{Test chapter}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Some more elaborate decorations using pgfornament:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfornament}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}

\begin{document}

\let\cleardoublepage\relax     % just for the example

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}
  {\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[text width=3cm,align=center] (chapnum)
    {\fontsize{100}{130}\color{gray}\selectfont\thechapter};%
  \node[shift={(-1cm,1cm)},anchor=north west](CNW)
    at (chapnum.north west) {\pgfornament[width=1.75cm]{61}};
  \node[shift={(1cm,1cm)},anchor=north east](CNE)
    at (chapnum.north east) {\pgfornament[width=1.75cm,symmetry=v]{61}};
  \node[shift={(-1cm,-1cm)},anchor=south west](CSW)
    at (chapnum.south west) {\pgfornament[width=1.75cm,symmetry=h]{61}};
  \node[shift={(1cm,-1cm)},anchor=south east](CSE)
    at (chapnum.south east) {\pgfornament[width=1.75cm,symmetry=c]{61}};
  \end{tikzpicture}
  }
  {20pt}
  {\Huge}
\chapter{Test chapter}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}
  {\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[text width=3cm,align=center] (chapnum)
    {\fontsize{100}{130}\color{gray}\selectfont\thechapter};%
  \node[shift={(-1cm,10pt)},anchor=north west](CNW)
    at (chapnum.north west) {\pgfornament[width=1cm]{7}};
  \node[shift={(1cm,10pt)},anchor=north east](CNE)
    at (chapnum.north east) {\pgfornament[width=1cm,symmetry=v]{7}};
  \end{tikzpicture}
  }
  {20pt}
  {\Huge}
\chapter{Test chapter}

\end{document}

And two more examples, this time using the Web-O-Mints fonts:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}

\newcommand*\wb[2]{%
  \fontsize{#1}{#2}\usefont{U}{webo}{xl}{n}}

\begin{document}

\let\cleardoublepage\relax     % just for the example

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}
  {\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[text width=3cm,align=center] (chapnum)
    {\fontsize{100}{130}\color{gray}\selectfont\thechapter};%
  \node[shift={(-1cm,1cm)},anchor=north west](CNW)
    at (chapnum.north west) {\wb{20}{24}I};
  \node[shift={(1cm,1cm)},anchor=north east](CNE)
    at (chapnum.north east) {\wb{20}{24}J};
  \end{tikzpicture}
  }
  {20pt}
  {\Huge}
\chapter{Test chapter}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\normalfont\huge\bfseries\raggedleft}
  {\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[text width=3cm,align=center] (chapnum)
    {\fontsize{100}{130}\color{gray}\selectfont\thechapter};%
  \node[shift={(-1cm,1cm)},anchor=north west](CNW)
    at (chapnum.north west) {\wb{40}{48}A};
  \node[shift={(1cm,1cm)},anchor=north east](CNE)
    at (chapnum.north east) {\wb{40}{48}B};
  \end{tikzpicture}
  }
  {20pt}
  {\Huge}
\chapter{Test chapter}

\end{document}
