Vectorize Logo[edit]

Stale

– FOX 52 (talk) 05:18, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please vectorize this logo. This thing is looking pretty bad in its current state. I have the image hosted on imgur right now, as I am unaware of the image hosting process at Wikipedia. I will be starting an article in which this is contained. The image is free to use (no copyright issues) and is owned by me. Image is at https://imgur.com/a/8ie9H 180.151.88.147 (talk) 15:39, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Files hosted specifically on Wikipedia need to be justified by use in an article; Commons will host a file not currently used in a Wikimedia project as long as it has intrinsic educational use. As such, I suggest you make sure the subject (presumably a company called Circle, but obviously not Circle (company?) is notable enough, then start the article, and at that point it will make sense for the image to be hosted here.

@FOX 52: Thanks, I appreciate it. Though just one thing; The diagonal red arms on the Union Jack in the canton of the flag of Fiji itself are thicker than they should be. Anything that can be done about that? User:Snow Lion Fenian

@Snow Lion Fenian: - Not sure how to fix it since I used original Government Ensign of the United Kingdom (file), but I uploaded a 2nd file, so that might work out the glitch - FOX 52 (talk) 04:10, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit]

Request: Dear Reader - for some time now there are few requests for the Graphics Lab / Illustration workshop. Maybe the right time to check the archives and investigate if some requests can be handled now that could not be handled at the time of request. Or e.g. the commons wikimedia page "Category: National flag and coat of arms images that should use vector graphics". Good luck and regards JanJC (talk) 09:10, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged flag of the Kingdom of Bau, 1867[edit]

Article(s): List of Fijian flags
Request: Alright, could someone please create an SVG file of the alleged flag of the Kingdom of Bau, as described in the Sydney Morning Herald of 30 July 1867 as being a horizontal tricolour of "white, blue, and red [presumably in that order]... with the sun rising out of the blue ground, and a crown in the top corner [presumably meaning the canton of the white band]" (this article on Fijian flags from the Fiji Sun lists that newspaper as a source:http://fijisun.com.fj/2015/02/24/focus-fijis-flag-parade/) The crown and sun would presumably look like those of the other alleged flag of the Kingdom, as shown above. It seems unclear which flag is the accurate one (or whether they both are in some way), but I think it wouldn't hurt to have both of them on Wikipedia, just in case. Thanks. User:Snow Lion Fenian

Done Jeromi Mikhael (talk) 10:33, 7 June 2018 (UTC) I've taken the blue from the other flag, and set the white and red according to RGB colours. The position of the crown and the sun is fixed from the original flag. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any example of the flag.[reply]

Access lock[edit]

Article(s): Any with citations that invoke Help:Citation Style 1#Registration or subscription required
Request: Make the center white circle transparent. It's tricky, because there's an opaque element behind it. I tried pathing out a thick, no fill, red body circle instead using math, which seems the easiest option, but I don't understand how SVGs calculate those things well enough to not change the dimensions involved. Just upload over the original file once it's done. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:24, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)

Done The problem came from the big red circle consisting of both a shape and a path, which messed up the dimensions when you tried exclusion, as the stroke width would spill over into the internal area. I made the big red circle into a pure non-stroke shape, I hope that you do not mind. VulpesVulpes42 (talk) 07:50, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@VulpesVulpes42: Seems to work just fine. It has different overall dimensions and it looks different when you open it up too, being left aligned, rather than centered, but I'd consider that an improvement. I might use this as a model to make improvements to File:Lock-green.svg/File:Lock-yellow.svg, but feel free to beat me to the punch here. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 08:32, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
