Emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola[edit]

Flag of UNITA
Emblem

Article(s): en:Democratic People's Republic of Angola

Request

Hello, I'm looking to see if anyone could remake the emblem used by UNITA's rival government of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola; the emblem is the same as the middle of the one on UNITA's party emblem but with the text SOCIALISMO, NEGRITUDE, DEMOCRACIA NÃO-ALINHAMENTO.
References:

Colors should be all the same as the one on the current logo of UNITA and the rooster & sun should be the same as the colors on the flag.
Thanks a million in advance if anyone takes this request :) --NorthTension (talk) 16:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I made some progress in Inkscape (not the full emblem though)

This is fantastic! Can't wait to see you finish :) NorthTension (talk) 18:22, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right, @SVG-image-maker you should drop a message saying the request is taken in the Graphist opinion section. NorthTension (talk) 04:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I'm sorry to ping you again, but it's been two months now, did you make any headway with this? NorthTension (talk) 19:28, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have found the high-quality image of the emblem: UNITA, Identity of a Free Angola. — UNITA. 1985. So, I extracted it from the book and uploaded the png-file to Commons. — صلاح الأوكراني (talk) 10:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seal of the Territory of New Mexico (1887–1912) - TIF to SVG[edit]

Article(s): New Mexico Territory, Seal of New Mexico

Request: Would anybody be able to redraw the above TIF file of the seal used by the New Mexico Territory from 1887 to 1912 as SVG please? Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC) Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

You want it to be exactly like the TIFF or would relettering one of the SVGs in category:state seals of New Mexico do? Arlo James Barnes 07:00, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would probably be better for an SVG version of the seal to be the same as the current TIF version, in order to accurately reflect the differences between the seals used by the former territory and the modern state. But thanks for enquiring. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 14:08, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well then I'll upload a simple autotrace and let the better vector experts overwrite it when ready. In the meantime we should figure out which of COM:FONTS best matches the rim lettering so that the text may truly be represented using text in the SVG. Arlo James Barnes 21:50, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great rendition, thank you very much! So do you have any particular font in mind that you think could match that of the outer rim? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:17, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A heavy Scotch Roman such as Century or Clarendon would probably match closest. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:01, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

category:typeface Samples of Fonts available to Commons SVG engine is a more visual index of our options than COM:FONTS gives. I uploaded an un-curved sample for easy checking against (see gallery above). Arlo James Barnes 04:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fvasconcellos: Thank you for the advice! Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SVG and split religious habits[edit]

Article(s): a lot of them!

Request: Hello. On the it.wiki's Graphics Lab we're working on converting to SVG and splitting religios habit/vestments sketches on Commons, so they can be used more easily and without scaling problems. Since it's a really long process, we would like to ask for your help taking some of that work.

More precisely, the steps are the following:

Creating an SVG version of the sketches and uploading it
Uploading the individual sketches on Commons

If it's possible, I would ask for coherence to make them on the style of those sketches: 1, 2, 3, since it's the one used by most of the sketches already present

@Fvasconcellos: 1) Yes, I do get the impression that the heron is indeed wearing a hat. 2) I'm inclined to believe that it is meant to signify water around its legs. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revectorization of File:National_Emblem_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China_(2).svg[edit]

This file differs significantly from the reference file I provided and needs to be redrawn.
Related file, also needs to be redrawn.
This is a copy of the gypsum photo of the Chinese national emblem displayed on the day of its publication in a journal.
This is a copy of the grid ink line drawing of the Chinese national emblem displayed on the day of its publication in a journal.
This is a copy of the vertical cross-section drawing of the Chinese national emblem displayed on the day of its publication in a journal.

Article(s): w:zh:中华人民共和国国徽, [[3]], [[4]]

Request

I have just uploaded sufficiently clear bitmap materials about the Chinese national emblem when it was first released, providing assurance in image quality (600dpi/1200dpi).

This can be considered its appearance when it was first seen by the Chinese people. I hope to see a more accurate vector version.

A comparison reveals that:

Some of the three-dimensional details are inaccurately drawn, failing to reflect the proper perspective.

The wheat ring appears thicker in comparison.

The stacking order of some wheat grains is incorrect.

There are discrepancies in the depiction of Tiananmen.

The gears below Tiananmen are flat, lacking a three-dimensional layout.

The depiction of the folds at the lower end of the ribbon is incorrect, and its position and angle are inconsistent.

The path outline is too thick compared to the material I provided, resulting in lower precision.

Request: Please correct the crown drawing in this file. Unfortunately, it is not possible to indicate one correct version, but I think that the best model will be this one, even if it is not the original flag. All the images I found show a crown with only outlines, usually black, and five rings (probably pearls) on the top.

Flag of Sark[edit]

Flag of Sark
Flag of the Seigneur of Sark

Article(s): en:Flag of Sark

Request: Could the flag be adjusted so that the lions positioned above the cross according to the official grant be changed to match the ones used in the Seigneur's flag please? Could the Seigneur's flag be renamed and the bordered one be renamed as the "flag of Sark" please? The C of E (talk) 18:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

@The C of E: The current Flag of Sark.svg cannot be overwritten or renamed, and it doesn't need to be edited; simply reverted to a previous version. The best way to go about this would be an edit request at File talk:Flag of Sark.svg, if there is incontrovertible evidence that the current version is incorrect. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:10, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fvasconcellos: I think you might be misunderstanding my request. I'd like the bordered version to be renamed as Flag of Sark (and svg-ed) according to the flag's design when it was officially granted to the island by the late Queen Elizabeth. The current Flag of Sark article needs to be moved to "Flag of the Seigneur of Sark" because the Lions positioning is different between the Island's flag and the Seigneur's flag. The C of E (talk) 19:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The C of E: I meant that the current Flag of Sark.svg could be reverted to the immediate previous version and it would then match the grant of arms, which would obviate the need to rename the file (or, indeed, make any changes to Flag of Sark (bordered).svg). A "fresh" flag of the Seigneur could then be uploaded.

The current version of Flag of Sark (bordered).svg can instead be changed to match the grant, but I don't think it can be moved (or Flag of Sark.svg renamed) while the latter is protected; need to check that with an admin. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The C of E: Flag of Sark (bordered).svg updated. You will need admin assistance for the corresponding renaming requests, though! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:37, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Swiãtopôłk: It's actually quite easy to make a set of these once you have a template. Have a look at the first flag/banner pair (Cabo Verde) and let me know what you think; if they look good, I will proceed with the rest. (This also gives me an excuse to slowly pursue a longstanding wish of mine: vectorize the banners of Portuguese municipalities...) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fvasconcellos: As usual, it's good. I'm happy the banners won't be difficult. Only recently I noticed that the ribbon bend of some of the coats of arms is white, although it looks better when colored grey. It's not your mistake, it's the graphic who provided the coats of arms, but it would be good to fix it right away. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 07:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

<text font-size="32" fill="#000000" letter-spacing="6.5" font-family="monospace">
<textPath xlink:href="#Circle1">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</textPath></text>
</svg>

problems:

is there a better way to achieve this? so that the 26 letters are truly equally spaced out? i tried to do the math but i cant get it right probably because i got the units wrong, so now they are just manually spaced to be roughly equidistant.
png doesnt render.

(math i did:)

fontsize = x pt = 4x/3 px
26*(fontsize+spacing)=2 pi r
r = 13*(4x/3+spacing)/pi

Graphist opinion(s):

@RZuo: Unfortunately, librsvg (Wikimedia's SVG renderer) does not implement text-on-path; see Help:SVG. You need to either convert the text to paths or have each character as an individual text element with the appropriate transforms. I've overwritten the file with some example code so it renders, feel free to revert or tweak it at your discretion. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fvasconcellos thx a lot! your replacement is good enough for the time being. i dont have the expertise to handle more complicated svg either.

i guess specifying the positions for each letter is the only feasible method now. RZuo (talk) 17:00, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, this problem runs into many SVG agent limitations. WMF's uses librsvg, but it has many limitations — including no support for textPath. Chrome does not like textPath using a circle (a path that does not have a starting position). Using a path element with arc segments runs into other issues when trying to make a complete circle.

It gets worse. In theory, setting textLength="100%" should expand the text to fit the whole path (similar to startOffset="50%"). Firefox apparently ignores the textLength attribute, and Chrome does not use the correct value. Chrome will accept an explicit length of textLength="628" (but that puts no spacing between Z and A).

Request: Please make two flags of the town of Brischan as seen on medieval maps. What I'm talking about is the drawing from the Atlas of Catalonia, which contains a red hexagram on a white flag in the shape typical of this source. The second version I want to use is a drawing by Guillelmus Soleri, there is already a very similar flag, but representing a different place.
