Oligodendrocyte image needed
-
another draft
Article(s): Brain
Request: We need an illustration of an oligodendrocyte forming the myelin sheath around a central nervous system axon, for the article, Brain. There are no free images that I can find. I list here several links to non-free illustrations. Would anybody on this project be able to knock up an illustration for us. If not, I'll give it a shot with pencil and paper.
Cheers. Anthony (talk) 08:06, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Request taken by Andrew c.: I gave this a shot. Used an existing neuron diagram, and just added the oligodendrocyte. Check out File:Neuron with oligodendrocyte and myelin sheath.svg. Tell me what you think. Maybe it could be cropped even closer, and the zoomed in detail box remove. -Andrew c [talk] 00:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Wow! I'm glad you beat me to this request because you've done a very good job! I'd only suggest - apart from a closer crop - that the action of wrapping be demonstrated more clearly, something like [8], and for the detail box something like [9]. Maybe you can do that by making the sheaths opaque and adding some shadow? I don't know. I hope you don't find my suggestions annoying. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 17:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- That is SO impressive. Thank you. I have left a note at Talk:Brain inviting comments. I'll post a summary here in a few days. Beautiful! Anthony (talk) 18:14, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Coming here from Talk:Brain, I also want to congratulate and thank you on excellent work! A few personal opinions: I agree that a little more cropping would be good, but I definitely would keep the zoomed detail box. Please label the nucleus of the Oligodendrocyte as the "Nucleus", and delete the nucleus (including its yellow area) from the inset and from each of the myelin sheaths. Please delete both instances of "(Schwann cell)". (Thus, these labels would simply be, respectively, "Myelin Sheath" and no label at all, with the nucleus removed from the inset. The idea of wanting this image is that we wanted one that does not refer to Schwann cells specifically.) Also, please make the Oligodendrocyte (now magenta) the same blue color as the Myelin Sheaths. (The idea is that they are parts of the same cell.) Perhaps my fellow editors from Brain will have other ideas. Thanks again! --Tryptofish (talk) 18:33, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- I want to first reiterate that all I did was add the oligodendrocyte to an already exiting, very superb diagram of a neuron. The vast majority of the work should be credited to LadyofHats. Next, I really appreciate the comments. They are quite helpful, and I'll get to work on them ASAP. The reason why I had the oligodendrocytes a different color from the sheath was I was taking cues from this and this. But I can easily change the color, and transparency, and try to make the wrapping more apparent, and fix the labels, and zoom in a bit and... yeah, just work on it some more. Will probably post another draft in a couple hours (rather upload over the original). Thanks again for the feedback, it is really helpful (and I wish I had it when I was doing my D&C diagram last month).-Andrew c [talk] 18:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe we should wait a little in case any other Brain editors would like to offer suggestions. Anthony (talk) 19:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, that's true. I was only speaking for myself. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Can I suggest we take the discussion to Talk:Brain and present Andrew with an agreed set of requested changes in a few days? Anthony (talk) 19:18, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, see also herding cats! Fine with me. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your efforts, Andrew c and Narayanese. Discussion has now settled at Talk:Brain. Andrew c's last version is nearly there, but would it be possible to remove the red strands at the bottom left, and the little yellow ovals visible in the sheaths (as in Narayanese' version [10])? Anthony (talk) 20:33, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Request: Need SVG... Alokprasad84 (talk) 17:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- That is a pretty complex logo. I doubt that we'll be able to locate a vector version from an official source, and there isn't enough detail to redraw it by hand (and such redrawing will introduce errors into the logo). -Andrew c [talk] 01:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Earlier version of logo. May both of logo have enough detail to redraw it. Please try.Alokprasad84 (talk) 08:35, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- For official logos and such, we often cannot simply redraw them because we'd be creating cheap knock offs that wouldn't represent the university accurately. Universities and companies often pay thousands and thousands of dollars on marketing and branding, and we need to respect their vision. There is no way anyone could accurately redraw that image in SVG format, and still do the university brand justice. Our only other option is to search through official publications and see if we can't find an already exiting copy of the logo in vector format. But additionally, non-free content is supposed to be at a reduced size and resolution, and a too detailed SVG could break that policy. Why do you want this image in SVG format? Why should we spend our time and resources working on non-free content that can only be used in one or two webpages in a small resolution? -Andrew c [talk] 13:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Actually I just wanted that this logo should be in svg as other universitie's logos.Alokprasad84 (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Just for the record, the reason why a lot of universities logos are in SVG is because they were made available on those universities websites, not because users here redrew the logos (a practice I discourage greatly). That said, it appears there are at least 3 or 4 different version of this "logo" on the university's website, and it is more of a seal than a logo created by a branding/design/marketing firm. Such instances (seals, coat of arms and such), I feel it is less important to source the content from only official sources, and I probably wouldn't outright oppose a hand redrawing of this seal (still, this doesn't change my position than it is better to spend time and energy on creating free content, then working on limited non-free content ;) I've also searched the web for a vector version of the seal already available, which I came up empty (but did see the 3-4 different versions).-Andrew c [talk] 21:09, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Why did you tag this image as PD-self? If you created it yourself, you should have access to the original vector drawing, no? I think you have mistagged this image, and I believe strongly is non-free and should be retagged as such (or you need to send in OTRS permission verification that it is your own content). -Andrew c [talk] 13:22, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hello Andrew, Yeah you are correct I didnt tagged image as PD-self, only just uploaded other version. But now I have changed the licensing issue and make compatible as other university logo eg New York University.Alokprasad84 (talk) 13:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): I have located the vector version (AI file) for this logo here. I opened the file with Inkscape and the Hindi fonts in the logo got jumbled up. Anyone with Adobe Illustrator please convert this to SVG and upload it. --JovianEye (talk) 23:04, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Done. I had to install 2 obscure fonts for it to work: Antique Olive and KrutiDev011 (Hindi font, found it on an unknown web page after 2 hours Googling). --Shandristhe azylean 00:36, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! Didnt think it would need so much effort with AI. --JovianEye (talk) 00:49, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
- I've redrawn the "Mac with the W" as an svg. I stopped there, because I wasn't sure what the strange translucent curved thing covering the top part of the monitor was supposed to be, or if it was even supposed to be there. (I'm sure I'll feel dumb when you tell me.) I didn't add the red gradient or chop the left bit of the Mac off, because I kind of agree with the comment above, so wanted to see your thoughts before doing that. All those things can easily enough be done. Begoontalk 08:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- I had a little time free, so: 2 more above - red gradient background, and cropped... Begoontalk 00:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Request: This image was upload in WP in english. I need it in Commons in order to use it in WP in spanish. If someone can do it, excellent. This is the linkThanks. Andreateletrabajo (talk) 17:18, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Questions
- Does any of the text in the image need to be translated to Spanish? (If so, what is the translation)
- I'm assuming you would also prefer a vector image at Commons, since that would be appropriate for the content?
- Begoontalk 14:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Done. I made the Spanish translation by Googling ;) --Shandristhe azylean 21:23, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Cool - great job - I probably should have thought of that. I'm always a bit wary of online translators, and I know no Spanish at all, but I don't suppose much could be wrong in that. I'm glad you did it, because I was struggling to pick out the red/purple difference a bit. I wonder if they should be made a little more different in colour than you already have done, just to be easier to distinguish. That is, unless of course those colours are particularly standard or significant. Are you going to upload it to Commons so it can be used on es? Begoontalk 01:39, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, both of you. I use to work in sp WP, so I just see your message. Everything is great. Don´t worry about the colours, I can change it myself (I´m talking about the dark red and the violet because they´re too similar). --Andreateletrabajo (talk) 06:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm glad you liked my diagram, Alejandro. I didnt's use Google Translate I Googled for their respective Wikipedia articles: TGF (Factor de crecimiento transformante beta) and IGF (Factor de crecimiento insulínico tipo 1) --Shandristhe azylean 13:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): This is redrawn, so slightly different (I used a slightly different shape jigsaw piece as a "starter") - may be ok at icon size as used?
- note - there's an earlier version without the fisheye perspective on the flag if you look in the file history - you may prefer that. Begoontalk 06:20, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
