Request: vectorize... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 14:08, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- These are complex! I traced the second image in black and white to get your thoughts before I attempt to colorize it. ℳono 22:53, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- As these images are not "simple", I did a rough trace. The files are large, as the root image is detailed. I hope this helps, however, it's far from perfect. ℳono
- These are fantastic, much better than I had hoped! Thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:45, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Please finish coloring! :)--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 03:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Request: Vectorize. ʄlame 23:09, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Connormah. - I'll try it out, but it'll probably have some differences between the vector and PNG. Connormah 05:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- How's that? It's a bit modified, but I like the result. Connormah 03:53, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Just for fun, because I was bored, and because you'd already done all the hard work, I played with your version to try and put some of the relief back into the lettering. Now I've done it I think I prefer yours - but here it is anyway... Begoontalk 07:33, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yours look pretty good, too. Especially the bevels - great job. Maybe you could modify my existing ones with the bevel effect you used in yours? Connormah 04:43, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Heh, I can, I'll do it later - I have it on a saved action - basically, select the item, group, cut, paste in place, change colour to black and nudge left, paste in place again, change colour to white and nudge right, then paste in place the original letter - sounds long winded, but it's just a black sliver to left, white sliver to right gives the illusion of relief... Begoontalk 08:09, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ok - added - I assumed you wanted just the lettering in the outer ring. If you want to do the "quadrants" as well - it's the same principle. Begoontalk 13:39, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yours look pretty good, too. Especially the bevels - great job. Maybe you could modify my existing ones with the bevel effect you used in yours? Connormah 04:43, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Burmese medical school logos
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/ba/Red_x.svg/20px-Red_x.svg.png)
Article(s): University of Medicine 2, Yangon, University of Medicine, Magway, University of Medicine 1, Yangon
Request: For the UM2-Yangon and UM-Magway logos, the grass blades are really fuzzy and it's slightly inaccurate. A more accurate photo of the logo can be found [1]. The Caduceus symbol has a pair of wings (with six visible feathers), tinged with white on the edges, as in the picture. Also, the book has 3 visible pages on each side, similar to the UM-1 logo. As for the UM-1 logo, the grass blades are NOT embossed in the actual form.
The Burmese text is the same for both:
ဥပဌာနံအနု ကမၼာဒယာ
Except in the UM-1 logo, it's written in two lines:
ဥပဌာနံအနု ကမၼာ
ဒ ယာ
I recommend Zawgyi font, because true Unicode fonts aren't compatible with most SVG programs. Thanks a lot! Hintha(t) 00:46, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): Indian Premier League and Champions League Twenty20
Request: Redraw as SVG.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 12:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
There's a discussion right now on the talk page about requests similar to this. No consensus has been reached on wording as yet, but since you are posting a number of requests of this nature, I'll post the latest proposed text here for you to have a look at. The discussion is at this link....
The vector versions of non-free images like company logos and other items need careful handling. Graphists at the lab cannot always convert a raster file (JPEG, GIF or PNG) to SVG. A manual re-draw of the logo is likely to result in an inaccurate version of the logo and this may lead to copyright violation! Thus, searching for an official version of the vector image is very important. Often, the vector version of a company logo is posted on the company's website such as an SVG, AI, CDR or EPS file. In other instances, vector logos can be found embedded within PDF documents since PDFs support vector graphics. Using the advanced search option in Google, can help finding PDF documents (Use the "File type" and "Search within a site or domain" tools). To confirm the presence of a vector logo in a PDF file, zoom several times into the logo and check for the absence of pixels. Upon finding a PDF with vector logo, use a vector graphic editor such as Inkscape to extract the vector file from the PDF source. If you do not know how to do this using a vector graphic editor, make a request here at the lab and include the URL of the PDF source or other vector source. A graphist will assist you in the process.

how long shall it take to convert into svg format.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 14:41, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'll take a look, but no promises. Connormah 15:02, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Not done - cannnot locate any official vector sources, sorry. Connormah 21:53, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Erledigt [for IPL]: Manual trace of GIF image. gringer (talk) 04:40, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
The second logo cannot be converted by hand and maintain its integrity. I would also note that that is an outdated logo, a 2010 version uses the color of the South African flag instead of the Indian one. §hepTalk 23:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): BBC World News and CNN International
Request: Vectorize.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 09:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Erledigt The BBC logo, that look okay? §hepTalk 01:51, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- As for the CNN one, I highly doubt a vector exists - it'd simply be too complex as the globe is a raster image. The PNG is fine. Connormah 03:22, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Please give a try I'm sure you can do it. The svg format of CNN logo can't be found its hard to believe.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 06:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- If you can show me a vector version of the CNN international logo hidden in a PDF somewhere I'd be happy to rip it and convert it. Connormah is right that creating the globe in SVG by hand would be difficult and most likely result in some legality issues. The CNN logo as a raster is only being used on 2 pages and they both look fine/not pixelated. §hepTalk 18:04, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- You could embed the globe as a raster image in the SVG file. gringer (talk) 12:54, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- True, but I think the PNG is fine - the file would probably be huge as well with an embedded raster. Connormah 19:46, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Please give a try I'm sure you can do it. The svg format of CNN logo can't be found its hard to believe.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 06:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Erledigt: Added SVG file with embedded PNG (screenshot from NASA World Wind). I could reduce the size of this if necessary, because at the nominal resolution, the globe's got about 3 times the resolution it needs to. gringer (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
- Two issues. One is that I see nothing gained from having vector letters when the rasters scale well. Second is that the globe image is different from what CNN uses, using a different one most likely infringes on whatever rights they hold to the image. §hepTalk 13:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with that. What may be even more relevant is http://edition.cnn.com/CNNI . Seems the current logo is white on red with no colour in the globe anyway. (unless this is just for historical purposes) Begoontalk 02:28, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- FWIW, just the 'CNN' part has already been done. I think if this is for CNN International, then it should probably be the current logo, rather than an old logo. gringer (talk) 10:52, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with that. What may be even more relevant is http://edition.cnn.com/CNNI . Seems the current logo is white on red with no colour in the globe anyway. (unless this is just for historical purposes) Begoontalk 02:28, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
The globe involved in the CNN logo is not something that can be vectorized while still maintaining its integrity. §hepTalk 23:17, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Request taken by Arnaud.ramey. I will give it a shot.
Erledigt Wow, that was more than what I expected. Arnaud Ramey (talk) 13:28, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- Me too, those are fantastic, thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 13:44, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- For Monaco, the content of the coat of arms is not the same : do you know if we can find the buglars somewhere ? Arnaud Ramey (talk) 13:51, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
I had a quick search, and I can't find those sneaky little buglers either. Maybe you don't need them? These people don't use them on the one they sell: <commercial link now removed - in history...>. Begoontalk 14:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
Erledigt Well, I remade the coat of arms from scratch. It is not perfect, leave some feedback !
- It's truly outstanding (150 points out of a possible 100) I think the curtain is red, but you couldn't lose any points on such a fine piece of work... Begoontalk 11:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I didn't think I was going to be able to find one, because the first 15 or 20 pdfs I looked at all had low quality bitmaps in them. However, finally I found it in a document from their design faculty: http://www.symbiosisdesign.ac.in/pdf/Programme_Structure_PD.pdf - it's slightly different to the one you posted (doesn't have the parentheses around "deemed university" (which is also not all caps) or the ©) but it is from an official document, so I uploaded as is. It's possibly worth actually emailing them to ask if they have an official vector version we should use. Begoontalk 13:59, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- Great work, Begoon. That's significantly different from both files 42 linked- weird. sonia♫ 14:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- I think it just means they have various versions floating around - the first jpg (in the GLNF box above) is the one they use on most of their web pages, but it could be outdated, which is why I suggested the email to them to confirm which they view as "official". At the very least, the basic shapes and non-English text are correct in the SVG, so if someone does end up editing it to create a derivative, they will be correct. And thank you, too - you just saved me pinging your talk page to try and stop you doing too much work on it. Begoon•talk 14:15, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- I might get that email out. The article currently reads, "In 2006 the University Grants Commission withdrew the word "Deemed" and renamed the institution as "Symbiosis International University".", but the use of the old logo on their webpage makes me somewhat uncertain. sonia♫ 14:25, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- In my experience it's not uncommon for organisations to be lax on version control when it comes to things like this. They may not even have proper Corporate Identity procedures set up. The web site design says it was outsourced to a company which does these kind of "identity packages". Quite possibly the different departments do their own thing and nobody properly co-ordinates it. If you do email, I'd recommend chancellor[at]siu.edu.in - he should at least be able to get the right person to answer. Begoon•talk 14:33, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you and sorry for the trouble. There are actually three versions of the logo.Although the latest one is the one I linked to (at least that's the one they are using on my marksheets) all the versions are in use.

It can also import Excel spreadsheets (read.xls in the gdata package) and CSV files (read.csv in the base system). There are some quite nice tutorials available (e.g. here). If anyone is interested in getting help with using R, let me know. gringer (talk) 13:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): Coat of arms of Burma
Request: vectorize, basically the same as the old one with the colors changed and minor mods... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC) Burmese text on the banner is as follows: ပြည်ထောင်စု သမ္မတ မြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော်--Hintha (talk) 09:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- The burmese version of the constitution seems to have a slightly better image of the coat of arms (page 190 of the PDF), but it appears to be a picture of a drawing, rather than a scalable image. I suspect a tracing from this will have better visual quality than a modification of the SVG. Which makes me wonder, what is the copyright status of this coat of arms? Would we be able to put a vector version of this onto commons, or should it be WP:NFCC? gringer (talk) 10:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I've uploaded the higher resolution coat of arms (PNG format) from the burmese version of the constitution. I'll posterise that into black/red/yellow (and possibly some grey), then see if that can be traced. gringer (talk) 12:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hrm, a trace on the png file didn't work all that well, so I worked from the 1974-2008 SVG as suggested. I've done about as much as I could with my little computer (the colour changes), can someone else do the "minor" mods? Modifications needed: remove cog from middle; remove left hand text from centre banner; rotate remainder of centre banner text and recenter — it's probably easier to get rid of the text entirely, retype in Arial Unicode font put on a swirly path, then convert to curves; replace map with a better map of Burma; remove wheat and re-draw more spaced out with stem. The SVG image I have uploaded is NOT currently a good representation of the coat of arms, and there may be trademark/copyright issues in denoting it as such. gringer (talk) 13:49, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, the cogwheel still needs to be removed, the olive laurels ought to be smaller, and the text needs to be updated. Also, as for the copyright status of the coat of arms: Burmese copyright law dates to the colonial era (Copyright Act in 1914, Indian Patents and Designs Act of 1911) and there are no means of legal enforcement. Hope that helps.--Hintha (talk) 19:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Also, on the blue-and-red version File:Coat of arms of Burma 1974-2008.png, per Hintha, could someone fix the Burmese words on the coat of arms of Burma, currently they are illegible in Burmese, especially the middle ribbon. It should say "ပြည်ထောင်စု ဆိုရှယ်လစ်သမ္မတ မြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော်" (Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma). If you need help finding a font, please let Hintha know. It renders on my computer, but Burmese is not yet a standard font, so you have to download one. Try downloading the Myanmar3 Unicode font available on BBC Burmese's website (link).--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 03:29, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Two things:
- The shape of Burma needs tweaked on both svgs, I might suggest File:LocationMyanmar.svg
- Can anyone find a picture of the pre-1974 arms, with the three chinthe? I had one when I was a little nerdlet in Kindergarden, from the 1970 World Book encyclopedia, but that was 35 years, 6000 miles and 17 garage sales ago. In addition, I am fairly sure there was one prior to the 1962 coup that was different.
- Thanks--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 03:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Try the outline map I've added to the gallery. It's a bit smaller in file size. I think I'm fairly safe using the GADM data with my script now (and uploading to commons), because it removes data points so that the vector file is lower resolution than the source data. gringer (talk) 06:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 03:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- I worked out that I could do a difference operation to remove elements of the black lines without getting into the path editor. gringer (talk) 03:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Added another SVG retraced from new coat of arms image. Separated monochrome colour layers are available (yellow,red,black).gringer (talk) 04:03, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- The wreath needs to be sparser, 7 leaves on each side.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 05:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
- Can the 2 svgs be combined? The second one has the better wreath, but no text.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 06:45, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- I couldn't combine the SVGs, the trace was just three separate images layered over each other. I removed the nodes of the excess leaves. Does that look okay? §hepTalk 22:37, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 09:25, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

- I version with the hammer texture would be useful, but a version with only the main features would also be very helpful. :) If you make a version with only the main features, please upload it with a different file name than this one. :bloodofox: (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Erledigt OK, I tried to do something "in the middle" for the details level : I rendered all the lines I could clearly distinguish, I also rendered the lines of pearls. However I dropped the circle patterns on the flat sides. Tell me what you think ! The thumbnail does not seem to work, check directly the image page maybe : File:Thor's_hammer,_Skåne.svg. Arnaud Ramey (talk) 08:34, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
- So far so good! Do you think we could get more texture on the hammer? The texture is one of the things that makes it so impressive and uniquely distinctive. :bloodofox: (talk) 02:01, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
- I will give it a try, but I'm afraid to make the size of the file explode. I let you know. Arnaud Ramey (talk) 12:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
- Great, looking forward to it! :bloodofox: (talk) 11:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Erledigt I used patterns to keep the file size sane. Here is a possibility of rendering. What do you think ? I would also enjoy to have some feedback of the other designers, as I am not that happy with the result and don't really know how to improve it. Arnaud Ramey (talk) 13:22, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
- I think that the outlines are accurate, but I think that the texture of the hammer is quite off. If it helps, here is what seems to be a pretty accurate reproduction of the object: [3]. Of course, there is no gem in the socket of the hammer today. Thank you for the effort so far. :) :bloodofox: (talk) 14:14, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Some update done, what do you think of the new look ? I just redrew the left side. Arnaud Ramey (talk) 17:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for putting the effort in, Arnaud. While it does look better, I am still taken aback by the texturing. Can we imply texture somehow instead? That might look better. Essentially, I am looking for something as close to the image I've posted as possible, just in a nice, big resolution.
:bloodofox: (talk) 22:09, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- In that case, a traced version of the jpeg will do the trick. Cf File:Thor's_hammer,_Skåne.svg. That is the best I can do. Arnaud Ramey (talk) 15:28, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, great, that's exactly what I had in mind. Is there a way to increase the sharpness of this somehow? It is a bit blurry. Thanks again! :bloodofox: (talk) 16:03, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- I've tried to adjust it, but the low res of the input file does not help... A new version is uplodaded, but not much different from the older one. Arnaud Ramey (talk) 16:57, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. I get the impression that the problem is the evident pixelization from the image having been blown up from what was probably a considerably smaller image. Do you think it would help if one were to take a small resolution version of this, vectorize it, and then make it into a larger size? It might reduce the pixelization, even if it does come off as looking like as an ink-heavy relief print (which I would personally find appealing). :bloodofox: (talk) 18:12, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- I tried to resize the png, blur it and retrace again with playing with the tracing parameters. See the result, it indeed looks somewhat better. Does it satisfy you ? Arnaud Ramey (talk) 14:18, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- I think this is as good as it is going to get with the quality of the original image. Excellent work, Arnaud, and thanks again! :bloodofox: (talk) 17:00, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Erledigt What do you think ? Arnaud Ramey (talk) 14:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- It's good, but there seem to be some bits missing—most noticably on the "S ot" of "Scott"—where the original signature is faintest. Could you have another look please? But yeah, otherwise it looks good. PC78 (talk) 23:41, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with PC78 its really good but could possibly be even better with those gaps filled in... Great work and really improves the C.W.A. Scott artical ! Jimmy3d0 (talk) 10:48, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- You are right. I reviewed the original PNG by playing with the local brightness and contrasts before tracing, and I got something better. You think it passes the test ? :) Arnaud Ramey (talk) 14:30, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- It looks better in general, but the area I highlighted before still needs attention; see cropped image above and compare to the svg. PC78 (talk) 23:17, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Erledigt I reviewed a few details, especially some corners (the beginning and ends of drawing lines). Arnaud Ramey (talk) 14:39, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Original SVG
Article(s): Uranium market
Request: When converting this SVG into PNG using imagemagick convert, it creates a bunch of black boxes. Is the SVG code valid? If not, could someone fix it? If yes, could someone do a conversion that would produce a clean, box-free PNG? Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 08:26, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: The conversion (which produces the faulty bitmap) happens automatically on the wikipedia/commons servers if a png version of the image is requested. Check the 200px version for example. -- Volker.haas (talk) 08:31, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- Er, don't use imagemagick to convert to PNG files. Use something that has a better understanding of SVG, like Inkscape (or AI if you want to pay money). gringer (talk) 09:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- My guess is that you're using flowed text somewhere, that's a common cause of black boxes. Inkscape has an option to convert to unflowed text — I'll see what I can do. gringer (talk) 09:06, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yep, a phantom block of flowed text. I've removed it entirely, because it wasn't displaying at all. gringer (talk) 09:11, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Request: Vectorize.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 05:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
The part that takes the longest time of making an SVG of a company logo is that is has to be issued by the company...and these vector logos can take a long time to find. It would be VERY helpful if you added links to PDFs that have the vector embedded in them as I did in the collapsed part of the section above. It is a very simple task, it just takes a lot of time to go through a large list of PDFs. If you are unsure of how to do this I'd be happy to help, but with the number of requests we need your help. §hepTalk 15:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Noticing that you just added some more logos to the section, were you able to find the time to try to provide any of the help which §hep requested above? Begoontalk 04:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- That's all I'm doing without some more help from your end. §hepTalk 18:55, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

- Please tell me whether the PowerGrid logo is alright or not.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 18:32, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- If by "alright" you mean "is it a faithful reproduction?" then in my opinion it is excellent, and a perfect match to the pdf source on the description page. If, instead, this is a license question, then in my opinion, that's fine, I don't think it would be eligible for {{pd-textlogo}}. Begoon•talk 07:28, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Erledigt Finished the Bank of India logo. §hepTalk 00:46, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Well, kind of finished. Some sources show the pentagon behind the white circle being the color of the large background (blue) and others show it being the background/outline of the star (black). The bank seems to switch back and forth between different versions. Does anyone here have an opinion if one is better than the other to use? If not, I'll leave it as it. If you do, feel free to overwrite with whatever color you think is best. §hepTalk 00:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- The one they use on the website is what I'd usually go for, and that has the pentagon and the outer star outline as blue (therefore invisible). It's very low res, though, but, additionally the first (and best imo), of the pdf sources you listed has the pentagon/star outline as blue. I'll alter it to that anyway, then both versions will be in the history so that if someone has a different preference they can easily revert. Begoontalk 04:45, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
