  • What's the copyright on the underlying work? Also, an SVG of the crest would be better. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:49, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • This reproduction is permitted under the Australian Copyright Act, sections 65–68, which states, in pertinent part, making a photograph of sculpture and works of artistic craftsmanship situated, in a public place, or in premises open to the public, is not an infringement of the work.GBS2 (talk) 09:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • AKA freedom of panorama. That means this file needs {{FoP-Australia}} (on Commons). Still think this would have higher EV as an SVG. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:39, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • Eh... SVGs tend to give a de novo interpretation. Having a more official copy is probably better. And more interesting. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:24, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          • True about the de novo interpretation. Although this is indeed interesting, and the framing is decent, the background is distracting from this as a coat of arms. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:02, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
