Request: Vectorize... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 18:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Jovianeye. Done

In the original, the text is the same width as the logo, not longer, can you fix that? --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 03:07, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the corner of http://www.ocasia.org/, their official website. It has the wider width. The SVG was extracted from an official source. I guess they have multiple configurations of the logo (since the png is also sourced from an official source), but since the main homepage has the longer text, perhaps we should use that one? -Andrew c ^[talk] 03:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See page 11 of this official PDF source. So I think the version with the wider text would be more appropriate. --JovianEye (talk) 05:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the wider text on the website version has more to do with the column width of the left-hand column than to the accuracy of the logo. I think the webpage designer has taken some artistic licence there. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not so nice image of Erlenmeyer flasks
Nice image of beakers
1000 ml Erlenmeyer flask

Article(s): Erlenmeyer flask

Request: Would it be feasible to create an image in a similar quality as in the case of the beakers? 89.217.130.227 (talk) 11:00, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

I gave my shot and made one at File:1000 ml Erlenmeyer flask.svg. I'm not that satisfied with it, though. I heavily used the beakers.svg, and just modified the location of various point to change the shape. The text has been converted to outlines, so it can't be readily modified (which resulted in not looking as good as I want). -Andrew c ^[talk] 15:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It does not look too bad, though. Surely it is an improvement towards the png file. The three other flasks are just missing. :) 84.226.17.184 (talk) 06:59, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Lamborghini

Request: I tried to extract the logo from this official PDF, but the file size was a massive 5MB which made Inkscape on my system very sluggish. Could someone try and upload the vector version if it is feasible. JovianEye (talk) 23:21, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is going to work. The logo in that PDF is incredibly detailed; much more than is allowable by fair use. The SVG I managed to extract was 4 MB in size as well. I guess you can still export it as a reasonably sized PNG, though. Quibik (talk) 01:19, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently trying to simplify it by expanding all the blends into gradients.Actually, I've already done that, but I'm waiting for Scour to optimise the resulting SVG. The web version seems to be barfing though, so tomorrow I'll install Python and run a local version of Scour on it. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 01:23, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

British and Irish Lions 1924 crest

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:01, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): British and Irish Lions

Request: Could you please convert this image to svg and add clarity to its components. The crest as uploaded currently, is under fair use because it is from a photograph published on a website. However, the crest itself would be in the Public Domain, having not been first published in the US, with UK and Irish copyright law applying, and the term of 70 years having expired at the end of 1994. Thus a clear SVG would make this crest a public domain equivalent.Kwib (talk) 22:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to DASHBot. The file is non-free currently, but an svg rendering would produce a PD version (only non-free because from a photo, however, the crest itself is PD). The link to the file is here: Image of 1924LionsCrest.Kwib (talk) 10:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link. However, that is the current crest that is only used under Fair Use. The crest I have made this request for is the 1924 crest. Although similar, each element of the crest is different from the current crest. If my request is fulfilled then it will be a PD image of the Lions crest.Kwib (talk) 09:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): American University of Central Asia

Request: vectorize... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 05:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Do you have a PDF or other official source for us to extract the image from? We should avoid custom traces or re-drawing of official logos (and that this is a non-free logo doesn't help, because it's application and use on Wikipedia is so limited in the first place)-Andrew c ^[talk] 14:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found their corporate design and style guide, but the entire thing (even the text) is raster, so that won't help your request much, but it does list the spot colors and such *but isn't in English*[1]. -Andrew c ^[talk] 15:02, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This should be a relatively easy conversion doing a manual trace of the central icon and creating new of the rest. Matching the colours would be a snap, but the problem would be the font and the language. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 15:08, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, type on curves is fairly difficult by itself, and to match it exactly seems nearly impossible. However, a seal isn't exactly the same as a corporate logo, and there may be different versions and thus some leniency in terms of accurate reproduction.-Andrew c ^[talk] 17:06, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No I didn't mean that. Finding and/or identifying the font is the bit I find difficult. Once I have the right font the rest is easy, even if it's on a path. I'm afraid I don't have an eye for the subtle differences in similar fonts, so invariably I end up with a "close but no cigar". The kerning and tracking is easy too, if a little painstaking and time consuming. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 17:36, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's just been reduced, and the loss in detail is visible. Please try. Thank you! --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 19:12, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Actually there's a couple of other things wrong with this illustration relating to the Union Flag. I did edit this where I rebuilt the UF and the text, unfortunately when I re-converted it back to SVG the 'flower disappeared (that was after all the sodipodi errors were corrected.

Article(s): multiple

Request: Most countries use standard colors-both blue/orange colors should match File:World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.svg-in RGB format, the blue is (0,82,214) and the orange is (254,143,3), remove all black bordering as unnecessary-this batch is much more simple, only two colors to standardize. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 19:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know the hex values of the definitive blue and gold? There are so many different shades to go from. Incidentally, the reason I left the black outlines on that template is so the illustrator can immediately see where the paths are. Everything is simple fills and strokes. I don't know about anyone else but a lot of the time I spent doing them was trying to match the fonts. Typography isn't my strong point so I don't immediately know the names of them. I know they are a reasonably basic sanserif font, but perks of my work I have access to around 100,000 fonts and variations, so as you may well gather searching for a particular font by sight in that lot is a nightmare. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 19:59, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I knew the hex values, I have been searching, meanwhile can it be picked up, like the eyedropper in Photoshop? Thank you for your hard work with the images and the fonts. I think from what I have seen (most of these are locally-produced pins, sometimes badges), any sans-serif works. On the template, changing the scroll border to orange, and the scroll itself to blue, would still leave the paths. Since you have access to fonts, I will have a weird one for you later. ;) --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 20:08, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ps-Mononomic did the original color correction of the primary badge, maybe the hex triplet answer can be found. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 20:14, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Got an answer. They're actually not hex colors, but they are in RGB format. The blue is (0,82,214) and the orange is (254,143,3). Does this help? --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 20:57, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): File:Asia Pacific Region (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts).png probably needs a vectorization, I can try, but I'll probably need help with the text. Connormah (talk | contribs) 17:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you also specify where you want the blue and orange colors on the one I recently traced? I can do it anytime. Connormah (talk | contribs) 18:05, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great start-the deeper blue bottom section and the matching orange symbol are what need color-matched. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 18:25, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, so the blue should be orange, how about the lavender purple? Connormah (talk | contribs) 18:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of adding the text. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 22:37, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Leave that one as is, and any other extra colors on any of these images. The only colors to bother with are blue, orange-gold, and removal of black bordering. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 19:00, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Black border Discussion

I've noticed you've requested that the black scroll should be removed. I tried that, I tried it with the blue and to be honest it looks crap. If I remove it, what do you suggest I replace it with. Remember, it isn't a border, it's meant to represent the shadow inherent in a scroll like that. I also don't understand your dislike of the black stroke on the outside. In illustration form it's meant to increase the contrast between the image and it's surrounding colour. Although it may not be 100% accurate to the real badge, please remember that these are illustrations, not photo-real images. Most of these images can benefit from a thin black stroke around the outside edge.

Also I see you've requested in the Arubaanse Padvindsters Gilde image that the gold triangles are removed. Those aren't triangles. They are the back of the 3D banner and forms the stalk of the trefoil.

Incidentally, on the blank, the text is there as a placeholder for the text on a path effect. It will give the graphist who uses the template a gudie to the font and positioning. It's not meant as a catch-all 'motto'. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 17:57, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fred, I respect your eye as an artist and I am most grateful for your hard work. The problem is the difference between what looks good and what is. These emblems are bicolor only, and putting more into them is a kind of WP:OR. Please have a look at File:Vietnamese Girl Scout Association.png for maybe the best example-the curls under the ribbon are least important and don't have to show. The two-color scheme works, successfully, the other ones you recolored are great-that's all I am asking for. Thank you as always for your hard work! --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 04:29, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All objects have an edge, as do most illustrations. Unfortunately the example above just demonstrates the opposite of the argument you are putting forward. It has a high contrast edge that delineates it from the background. Most illustrations, especially low contrast ones, contain an outer edge, i.e. a 1 or 2 pt stroke. Please remember that an illustration is just that, it illustrates. It's only a representation. If you wanted "what is" then you should have photographs taken. If you want illustrations then one should stick with convention. It strikes me that the only reason you are asking for the removal of these things is purely personal preference. I'm sorry that you disagree. What you are asking just creates more work, not necessarily for future illustrations, but to go back and change all the others already done. I'm truly sorry, but I'm not prepared to do that. If someone else agrees with you and wants to do it then fine I won't argue or revert. I also don't see any point in my doing any more if all that's going to happen is I do them the way I think they should be done, then you request changes I disagree with then someone else has to make the additional changes you ask for. With all due respect I think my time can be better spent on other mini-projects.--Fred the Oyster (talk) 09:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry you feel that way, my intent was not to pick a fight, as I say I respect your hard work. With the exception of Spain, these are small orgs and photos are hard to come by. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 11:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Railway signal graphics

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per my question on the talk page, I need some railway signal icons creating for use with the railway diagram icons. The normal template used here does not seem to be useful for me to describe a non-created image, so I'll give it a go describing it manually.

Let's just start with a simple home signal positioned to the left of the track as illustrated in the Application of railway signals article. You will need to use File:BSicon STR.svg as a base, and add the signal to the left of the track. I'd like the new BSicon to be called File:BSicon hsigupl.svg. Secondly, I'll need the image to be rotated through 180°, this one to be called File:BSicon hsigdnl.svg. Signal to have a small black base, white post, red and white arm with square end. Obviously I'll need more icons created in future. If anyone is willing to work with me on a one-to-one basis please let me know on the talk page of my main account (my talk on this account redirects there). Thanks in advance, Mjroots2 (talk) 19:53, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I've gone one better and SVGed it. The font is off, but that's always the case unfortunately.

Well the link is just given for illustration purposes. Personally, I think going from N = −3 to +3, Z = −3 to +3, and S = −2 to +2 is good enough. Each layer should be:

S = −2
N↓/Z→	−3	−2	−1	0	1	2	3

−3	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

S = −1
N↓/Z→	−3	−2	−1	0	1	2	3
3	—	—	—	⁴ Λ	⁵ _ΛH	⁶ _ΛHe	⁷ _ΛLi
2	—	—	—	³ Λ	⁴ _ΛH	⁵ _ΛHe	⁶ _ΛLi
1	—	—	—	² Λ	³ _ΛH	⁴ _ΛHe	⁵ _ΛLi
0	—	—	—	¹ Λ	² _ΛH	³ _ΛHe	⁴ _ΛLi
−1	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
−2	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
−3	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

S = 0
N↓/Z→	−3	−2	−1	0	1	2	3
3	—	—	—	³ n	⁴ H	⁵ He	⁶ Li
2	—	—	—	² n	³ H	⁴ He	⁵ Li
1	—	—	—	¹ n	² H	³ He	⁴ Li

−2	⁵ Li	⁴ He	³ H	² n	—	—	—
−3	⁶ Li	⁵ He	⁴ H	³ n	—	—	—

S = +1 and S= +2 are the same as the S = −1 and S = −2, although mirror-flipped diagonally, and with overlines on the element symbols and on the Lambdas (See S = 0 table). S = −2 should be the top layer, and S = +2 the bottom layer.Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 00:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Protecting high risk images isn't a crazy idea, especially when we have requests for unprotection and "edit protected" templates.

In the original the chakra in the centre was made up of about 4 nested groups of shapes. It was this that was choking the validator. I could have manually messed around with the code to unnest them, but that didn't sound like fun so I simply drew a new flag and include a chakra I'd altered a while back which I knew validated okay. It is larger than the original by 4k but one can't have everything :) --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:18, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems strange his concept that losing 3k or so of code takes precedence over incorrect code. Most probably because it's his code that's wrong, ho-hum I reverted it back. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:51, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The central emblem is not evenly rounded as the previous image was, the stripes are all different heights, they are supposed to be even. SVG validation is not a requirement, so you are accomplishing nothing. Stop now. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:09, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Someone who knows something about code must know what can be done about this, right? My experiencing validating HTML leads me to believe this really shouldn't be that hard, and can be accomplished in a text editor, but I just don't know enough about the coding. This is the internet, I know we can find a Wikipedian with the knowledge to help us out. -Andrew c ^[talk] 04:17, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did a complete check of the image, basically, it is full of flaws (even if the code is not bloated). The flag itself was not in a 2x3 ratio (as required by law). The strips were not even and were not placed correctly. For example, when I did extend the flag to 300 pixels high, the stripes for white and saffron were not 100 pixels high and they were placed at 98 pixels for y, which is not correct. The central emblem is not centered on the flag and it also was not rounded (the height was bigger than the width for both the main wheel and small blue circle). It was pretty much not even a fixing of the image at all. Plus, as I said before, SVG validation is not a requirement at the Commons. Never has, never will be. As long as the images display fine here, that is all we care about. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:35, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the ratios are incorrect then blame your version too, as that was used as the template, to the pixel I{I'll be happy to send you he original .ai file. Bloated code or not it still had the advantage of the W3 saying it was correct, which, I believe, trumps the opinion of any Wikipedia editor. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 09:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked that Hexagon thingy and it came up as green in http://validator.w3.org/ what are you talking about errors? --Shandris^the ^azylean 18:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now this is my personal opinion; I noticed that both of the files were tagged with being made with Illustrator. Fred, have you thought of trying to use Inkscape and see if some of the possible errors could be cut down? User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:03, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope I won't use Inkscape if you paid me, I think it's a horrible program. What I think is causing the problem, isn't actually Illustrator. Every file I convert to SVG I run through Scour first to try to reduce the Adobe bloat. I've had a few things go awry after using that optimiser. I think I'll just upload the original files in future. I think I shall do some more experiments. But I should have it known that I don't have any interest in the code itself. I'm a designer, not a numbers or code geek. Ultimately it's how it looks is what I care about. As such I care not a jot how big it is (within limits) or how it's coded, e.g. whether it's 10 points or 9.78 points. I've only recently started using the validator so those images you 'quoted' had never been run through it and therefore no attempt had been made to correct any errors. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 19:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, the 30 errors generated by File:Nuvola Bangladeshian flag 2.svg were all Inkscape or Sodipodi errors due to the initial file I'd used as a template. Strange how you didn't mention that. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 19:13, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both files now validate correctly once I'd removed all the Inkscape references in the flag. The hexagonal one was my fault as it was one of the first SVG images I had done so didn't really know what the hell I was doing. It's also gone from 65k down to 2k. This being the case I may go back and revisit some of the illustrations I'd done in my early SVG career and check and correct them too. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 19:26, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to laugh at your Inkscape causing the errors comment. Zing! I'm not a fan of Inkscape for illustration. But Illustrator doesn't produce the best SVGs (as you well know, seeing as you have to post-process them to remove adobe bloat). So there isn't really a perfect solution. I've found that if I create a file in illustrator, then open it in inkscape to view it (and say I decide to resize the image, or adjust the page size), when I resave the resized image in Inkscape, it always adds at least 5kb. Odd. Anyway, I use both programs, and they both have their ups and downs, but my personal preference is Illustrator (and if you asked me 10 years ago, I'd tell you Freehand was my personal preference). ha. Sorry to continue the off topic discussion. -Andrew c ^[talk] 22:37, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are seriously mistaken about Illustrator (or perhaps using a very old version?). Illustrator produces, in my opinion, near-perfect source code (especially when compared to Inkscape) – it's minimal and well structured. You have to disable a couple of options, that would otherwise add AI specific metadata, when saving the SVG (in AI CS4): font type not set to "Adobe CEF"; "preserve Illustrator editing capabilities", "optimize for Adobe SVG Viewer", "include Adobe Graphics Server data", "include slicing data", and "include XMP" all unchecked. That should solve the problem. —Quibik (talk) 00:19, 3 April 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Here was your problem; a lot of the SVG flag images uses 1.1 for the SVG version, the previous guy used 1.0. That was the main reason for the failure of validation. With also 1.1, you are not allowed to start a group with a number, but you can a letter. So I changed 2,4,6,8 to a,b,c,d and I changed the doc type to say 1.1. The file now validates and still keeps the very reduced code). User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 07:36, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also had to remove the specific UTF and SVG version declaration, so now, truly, the file is validated. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 07:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot Zscout, and thanks for explaining what you did. I figured changing the ID might have done something, but I didn't even think about the doctype. Knowing is half the battle. Hopefully more folk will be able to help out in the future. -Andrew c ^[talk] 15:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles: Exit sign

Request: Produce SVGs of the US exit signs after the fashion of the ISO version. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 03:51, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Fred the Oyster. Done

Yes! Only two problems: "Green" looks like cyan to me (Bad monitor?) and the proportions aren't quite the same. I think the actual signs have a little thicker stroke widths. Can you make these changes? 76.117.247.55 (talk) 15:06, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I sampled one of the colours from the sign to get the 'green' I used which is a sort of turquoise, I can darken it a bit if you wish. I was wondering whether to use a bold font too. I'll give it a try and see what it looks like. Incidentally, for future reference for those who are interested, the font is the ubiquitous Helvetica Condensed. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 15:38, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's virtually impossible to match a lit sign using a vector image. There are too many different shades and graduations to make it photo real. All you can do is get a close approximation, which is why I sampled an existing colour. There must be hundred+ shades of green in that image, so which one is the correct one? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 15:51, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do bold the current font, that will probably correct the proportions problem. As to the color, untill/unless it can be found out that exit sign green is a specific (code-specified) shade of green, I would just go with the same shade of green the running man icon uses (3d original image). 76.117.247.55 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Font and boldness changed (Helvetica Neue LT 67 Medium Condensed), green changed to the same green as the man. I also darkened the red slightly to match the darker shade of the green. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 14:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Please make them into .svg format. Thanks in advance, Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 14:53, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Why not format this using HTML and CSS in the article instead? That way it will have better accessibility. I'd discourage vectorizing it. —Quibik (talk) 18:38, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to do that...if you could explain how, I'd be happy to do so... Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 20:09, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I might have been too hasty, sorry. The hatching in the tables seems to be important and that can't be recreated with CSS as far as I know. So this still needs to be vectorized. —Quibik (talk) 09:23, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't the hatching be an image which is then used as the background for the table cell?--Fred the Oyster (talk) 09:41, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's certainly doable with CSS, but the possibilities are limited on Wikipedia: you'd have to directly link to an image, which can't be done. But we could instead change the layout and rather than place the patterns/colors on the background we could just put them in another column next to the text. Then something similar to Commons:Template:Legend#Examples can be used. What do you think? —Quibik (talk) 12:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As for me, I'm sure anything will work if it's of a good quality...the reason I was looking to .svg is it can be scaled without losing sharpness, and most of the Storm Prediction Center's graphics tend to lose readability on smaller scales. Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 18:28, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request taken by quibik.. I'll turn them into wikitables and add them directly to the article(s). —Quibik (talk) 19:30, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I uploaded the image in the gallery, but somehow it didn't get saved correctly, I'm not sure. Could somebody check it out? Request taken by name.: NativeForeigner ;

It looks like the SVG file has a dependency on the PNG file. Did you leave the raster version in a tracing layer? Kaldari (talk) 03:46, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
