Suggestion #1 ~~~~
My (BlueCaper's) new version for it

Article(s): WikiProject Koei Warriors Games

Request: Could you make a more detailed ".svg" version of it? Also, could there be like a black curve going off the tip of the sword in a 90° turn centered on the middle of the sword? (The black curve refers to the Koei Warriors Games' opening movies using black lines instead of blood.) Thank you! -BlueCaper (talk) 13:21, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to do the 90 degree curve. Also, I wasn't sure if you wanted it with the red background. Let me know if this is okay. ZooFari 03:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To be more correct, the W in the logo should be in the Garamond font instead of Times New Roman. The difference is that Garamond's W looks like two V's overlapping, while TNR has the W looking like the above SVG version (look at Wikipedia's logo, the W looks like two overlapping V's. Same with your red background logo). Let me know if you want the Garamond W, as I've got Garamond. [|Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) |] 23:42, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I used Paint.NET and public-domain Commons photography to create a .PNG version. I will use Inkscape to make it SVG. I will say something to the other WikiProject Koei Warriors Games members to see if they wish to use or build on your picture. I tried to figure out which font uses that extra serif on the "W," and I have Garamond, but I guess I just overlooked it. Thanks again! -BlueCaper (talk) 01:43, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Iran map

Iran could use a new map please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.234.37 (talk) 10:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific. What kind of map are you thinking of?bamse (talk) 15:14, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of a new map with the globe view. 83.108.234.37 (talk) 21:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean something like File:People's Republic of China (orthographic projection).svg but then for Iran? In my opinion such projection is more suited to large countries. I also don't see what would be gained over all the beautiful maps in commons:Atlas_of_Iran for instance. But maybe I misunderstand your request. bamse (talk) 22:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Iran is 1,648,195 km2 large, and Mexico which has a land area of 1,972,550 km2, have a map like that. Its just some larger. :-) Its also made one for the UK though not in use anymore. And I know its called globe view, but does it need to bee zoomed out that much? Just look at Mongolia (1,564,116 km2) that map is showing the whole world... Its the better looking design that is importat to improve the article. Sorry for my bad english :-) 83.108.234.37 (talk) 14:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed colors in the Mongolia map. Is that ok? There is/was also File:LocationIran.svg. A map in orthographic projection (globe view) — which is not just a zoomed-in version — with Iran in the center would require creating a completely new map and possibly vectorize it (to make it svg). I don't really feel the need for such map. Maybe some other graphist would go for it. bamse (talk) 15:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I talked to user Ssolbergj who makes those types of maps. He seemd to be busy at the time I talked to him. But the File:LocationIran.svg looks good, can't you attatch that in the Iran article? Im not sure how to. 83.108.234.37 (talk) 16:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): McDonald's

Request: This image would probably be better suited as an SVG image. I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to SVG, so it would probably be better for me to leave to more experienced users. Glacier Wolf 22:23, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

It is always best to leave the logos at the current file, since they are non-free logos. Yet possible, graphists including me wouldn't risk the trace and therefore logos shouldn't even be attempted to be requested here in the graphics lab. ZooFari 00:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to trace the file when I came across a PDF file from MickyD's themselves! I must have dne something wrong as I can't get the SVg to appear, I just get a red X.

' The 3 similar maps show features and placenames are located because of Geography of the North Sea has upon it the use of a geograph template and the Geography of the North Sea article cites sources for the latitudes and longitudes, which have been used.

Governor's Island

Official jpg map
SVG

Article(s): Governors Island

Request: Perfect candidate to SVGizize. High enough quality to trace. Bad enough JPG encoding to really warrant it being made into SVG. An official map so it should be very accurate. And a worthy part of a very important city. Also the NPS site page is now down so the numbers don't have a corresponding key. They should probably be removed and then a new numbering scheme can be easily added to the SVG if someone finds the old key or wants to make their own. gren グレン 01:00, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There you go. Looks a bit odd at low res due to Wikimedia rendering not being so hot on the text, but it's fine if you zoom in.

Graphist opinion:

On it, but this will take a while. Inductiveload (talk) 10:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've got a far as a good map of Smalia, with all the borders that are on that diagram. However I am not sure what borders are which (state, region, district), and they don't always seem to align to the borders on other maps (there are several regions which are named but I can't see in the WP articles. ISince Somalia is in such turmoil, I don't know what goes where. Somone up-to-date with the sistuation/history would be better than me. I have also put a very few minor and major settlements on (they're in a hidden layer of the SVG currently), but I don't think it is useful to show these if this is intended to show the political situation rather than geography. Rivers are included, but roads are not. The image is also included in the SVG as a hidden layer, to make it easy to trace stuff on top. When this is all finished, that can be taken out. Inductiveload (talk) 13:01, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow you're fast, and good with fine details! I like the color scheme you've chosen better, as well. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the colours to match the "standard" maps you see on WP, and added some cities and stuff. I'm going to leave it there for now, but the image is still in a hidden layer for reference. Ideally, this will be the map that is used for making future maps of the Somalia situation, as it should be relatively easy to change the boundaries. Also, the Wikimedia SVG engine seems to be struggling to render the text nicely at lower resolution. Inductiveload (talk) 14:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge two pictures

Resolved

Iowa portion

Article(s): Blood Run Site

Request: This site is a National Historic Landmark with no picture in its infobox. As it's split between two US states, the US gov't website where I found these has a picture of each part, but not a single picture of the whole site. Since neither picture is more representative of the other, I'd like to have these two pictures merged (made into one image, montaged, whatever you want to call it) so that we can show both pictures in the infobox equally. Border will need to be removed first. Oh, also: could we have the South Dakota portion up top, since South Dakota is farther north? Nyttend (talk) 16:18, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bump, but I feel this NEEDS to be done...Connormah (talk) 23:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And I'll put my opinion again. This map does not offer enough detail to do a proper vectorization. Yes, the colors can be changed... but this map has such little detail that a vector will be just as completely inaccurate. You might want to try finding more precise information and sources of any sort to substantiate these boundaries and help create a better map. gren グレン 01:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

I've had a look at this one, and due to the extremely small size, and the very inaccurate and unorthodox projection of the map, it will be impossible to transfer the data with any sensible degree of accuracy to SVG. With better data, an SVG can be made, especially if the projection is similar to an existing map of North America such as this one, or similar.

Graphist opinion:

How is this any different from Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop#Canadian Loonie? Please don't repost requests, but instead, why not try to respond to the original request? You do not state the purpose for these images, nor what article they will go in. You are also requesting SVG work on a non-free image. Since non-free images have very limited use, and the amount of work required into recreating such an image in SVG format is high, they pay off is generally not worth it, so I'm not sure there would be anyone willing to do this request, especially given there is no stated purpose or article for such a conversion.
