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.

Colonial flags of Mauritius, 1869-1906

Flag of Mauritius (1869-1906) gif version
Blank British Governor's flag

Article(s): Flag of Mauritius, List of Mauritian flags, Governor of British Mauritius
Request: Would someone please redraw the above 1869-1906 Mauritian flag as SVG (the motto on the scroll beneath the arms is supposed to read "STELLA CLAVISQUE MARIS INDICI" in case it's not clear enough). And, if possible, could an SVG version of the 1869-1906 flag used by the Governor of Mauritius (as seen here), be created as well, which could be done by placing the arms from the other flag within the centre of the blank British Governor's flag provided above. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 20:10, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colonial flags of Sierra Leone, 1914-1961

Blank Blue Ensign
Blank Governor's flag

Article(s): Flag of Sierra Leone, List of colonial governors of Sierra Leone
Request: Would someone please create an SVG file of the 1914-1961 flag of Sierra Leone (as seen here) using the blank Blue Ensign provided above, and also an SVG file of the flag used by the Governor of Sierra Leone during the same period (as seen here), using the blank British Governor's flag provided above. A close up of the badge used on both flags can be seen here, if it helps. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Please vectorize the flag -- RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 19:33, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion: @RainbowSilver2ndBackup: I used the FotW entry as the basis rather than the embedded raster. Scaled by eye. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 18:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Vectorize --RightBrainMan (talk) 16:14, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

The Transamerica logo and wordmark are registered trademarks, so a vector version may not be advisable. I could not find a branding guideline on the Aegon website, but this branding guideline from 2012 for Transamerica Financial Group may be useful to others. A raster copy of the logo is available. Colors are:

#004990, Pantone 280C
#ee3524, Pantone 1795C

Also, according to WhatTheFont, the typeface appears to be a variant of Garamond.

@Mliu92: Could the abstracted Transamerica building count as simple geometry? --RightBrainMan (talk) 20:40, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely. According to their website, "The Transamerica Pyramid building and logos featuring it are registered trademarks and are the company's primary identifiers of product authenticity." The isolated logo on this page also features the ® registered trademark. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 22:01, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mliu92: Alrighty then, just note that I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia and don't know a lot about non-free content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RightBrainMan (talk • contribs)

Done | See the article for the updated SVG logo —— LBDesigns (talk) 20:54, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@LBDesigns: is it possible for you to upload this to commons too?

• Unfortunately, this logo is a non-free image and cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. However if this image needs to be used in another Wiki article, you should be able to use the "File:National Gallery Singapore logo.svg" embed link. —— LBDesigns (talk) 21:48, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
