Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop

Shortcuts

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
- If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

@Snow Lion Fenian: Request taken. for design 3, despite SVG transformations being a pain in the ass. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 13:06, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done but I need author and copyright/licensing information before I upload. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 13:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Preferably just edit my Commons sandbox with the information and ping me afterwards. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 14:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QuickQuokka: Thank you, and sorry for the delay in responding. Well, all three designs originate from BBC Derby. According to the original website, the designer of the original concept was Leon Summers, with BBC Derby modifying his submission to create what was known as "Design 3". Which is also exactly what BBC Derby did with Martin Enright's submission, modifying it to create "Design 1" (which was of course chosen as Derbyshire's flag). Hence, I'd recommend giving the new file the same CR tag as "Design 1". Hope this helps. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian: The description page of the file says it's released to the public domain by the author, and supposedly also the author (I don't really believe the uploader is the author), but there's no source to verify that unfortunately. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 16:25, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QuickQuokka: Good point, and profuse apologies for the excessively long delay in getting back to you. Well, I certainly don't pretend to be an expert on CR licenses on Wikipedia. The impression I've gotten is that the uploader wanted to waive their rights to the file, but went about it the wrong way, resulting in using a license that creates a slight bit of confusion. After considering it all, I'd now recommend giving the new file the "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported", in order to cover the same bases while making it clear that the uploader is not the original designer. Hope this helps. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 10:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian: Now looking at it after having uploaded it, I see I accidentally used the wrong flower design. Should I fix this? QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 10:04, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@QuickQuokka: Oh yes, if you think you can correct the flower, then don't let me stop you. But no pressure if you can't. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 14:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kentucky Air National Guard emblem Done

Article(s): Kentucky Air National Guard
Request: Somehow, this emblem seems to have gotten slightly tilted to the left. Could anyone fix? Indefatigable2^talk 18:20, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion: @Indefatigable2: Had a quick check. It seems there is no significant tilt. Can you explain more on the tilt you have discovered? ~~ J. Dann 03:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the very top of the emblem, you can see it. There is a gap where you can see a gap, with transparency, above the top left side of the golden frame. Indefatigable2^talk 14:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or a "spot where you can see a gap," rather. Indefatigable2^talk 15:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Indefatigable2: Good I spotted it. I think the file cannot be overwritten and, as you are the original uploader, I don't mind crediting the finalised version to you. I am releasing this file under free licence. Do find the file here and upload it by yourself. ~~ J. Dann 08:42, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't take credit for this vector, but I appreciate it. Thanks. Indefatigable2^talk 03:07, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Hi, I know this seems big but it does use some simple elements so it won't so long. I was wondering if someone (it can be more than one user) can kindly please vectorize the flags and logos of the Albanian, Austrian, Brazilian, Canadian and Chilean Olympic Committees? Almost all of these are shown on the "Flags of the World" website and are found in the following links. Albanian National Olympic Committee https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/al@oly.html#for, Austrian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/at@oly.html, Brazilian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/br@oc.html, Canadian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/ca@coc.html and Croatian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/hr@oly.html. The exception is the Chilean Olympic Committee but that is just the logo (which is already on Commons) placed in the middle of the middle of a white background. This request is already big enough as it is so I won't spent too long explaining though the empty files help with what flags and logos need to be done and the links show what they look like. I an happy to provide further explanation if needed. This request is to celebrate the Olympic Games which starts today. Thanks in advance!--78.152.240.245 (talk) 22:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to resize svg

I have a very simple question. Is there someone that can kindly explain me how to resize svg from 512 × 588 pixels to 135 × 155 pixels and reupload on Commons as a new svg version? Many, many and many thanks in advance for all your answers!!! --94.247.8.9 (talk) 16:10, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Can anyone kindly please vectorize the flag of China Sailors' Union? For reference, the Chinese characters on the flag are "中華海員工業聯合總會" which translates to "China Sailors' Union". Character on the right side of the anchor: "中", Character on the left side of the anchor: "華", Characters in the middle of the anchor read from up to down: "海員工業聯合總會". Thanks in advance!--78.152.240.245 (talk) 22:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that the current graphic is inaccurate, the original anchor has a chain. [1] [2] I also found that their current flag is white with a blue anchor. [3] [4] Swiãtopôłk (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for the creation of a Straits Settlements Flag, Civil Ensign and the Governor's Flags from 1874 to 1904.

File:Civil Ensign of the British Straits Settlements (1874–1904).svg
File:Flag of the Governor of the British Straits Settlements (1874–1904).svg
This is the British crown (St. Edward's Crown) from Queen Victoria's time and can be used on the flags.
The Straits Settlements flag from 1874 to 1904 is the same as this version, except for the three crowns. I suggest using this SVG as a base for the 1874 to 1904 flag, just replace all three crowns with the St. Edward's Crowns.
The Straits Settlements civil ensign from 1874 to 1904 is the same as this version, except for the three crowns. I suggest using this SVG as a base for the 1874 to 1904 civil ensign, just replace all three crowns with the St. Edward's Crowns.
