Coat of Arms from .png to .svg[edit]
- Request
- Hi! I would be very grateful if someone could turn this image from the current .png to a scalable .svg. It doesn't need to have the shiney bits, if this causes too much trouble to anyone. Although this image would only be for an article in the Spanish Wiki, I intend to start just now one in the English Wiki as well. --Cantabrucu (talk) 13:01, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Figures and Diagrams for the UK Traffic Signs Manual.[edit]
Category:Traffic Signs Manual (UK) (Chapter 3)
- Article(s)
- s:Traffic_Signs_Manual
- s:Index:UK Traffic Signs Manual - Chapter 3 Regulatory Signs. 2008 (Second Impression 2008).pdf
- Request
- This is a big ask, and may need it's own Wikiproject, Thanks to a request I put into the Department of Transport I was able to get a set of EPS files, being the figures in the Traffic Signs Manual. These are very slowly being uploaded to the category mentioned. However, the EPS->SVG conversion isn't perfect, and some rendering fixes had to be applied, which is why it is taking time to get the full set uploaded.
- I am in need of some more experienced graphists famiar with EPS and SVG to help review and quality control the files uploaded so far.
- Some problems I've personally identified so far are :
- Border elements that have been recombined from single EPS path elements.
- Unclosed paths.
- Font substitutions (for Commmons/Wikisource rendering issues.)
- There is only so much a single volunteer can do, and I would appreciate this being a community effort.
-
- Update - Having to restart owing to some font rendering issues.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 00:39, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

- A SVG schema to illustrate the components of Flow Hive. --Dereckson (talk) 20:25, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
- There's some [information at the manufacturer's information page]. Reading between the lines of the request, it sounds like the pictures on this page would be re-created for Commons.
- Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 14:58, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Done Made and uploaded a [|new schema] (based on the one present on the official website) to be used for the articles. If you think changes are needed let me know. EDIT: Just realized the file doesn't work as expected. I'll adress that soon. Pablo

Logo for the project Connected Open Heritage[edit]
-
Building in the Wikimedia colors-AlphaZeta
-
Stylized column capital -AlphaZeta
-
Same with more prmoninent colors -AlphaZeta
-
Two hands protecting a building -AlphaZeta
- Context
- Wikimedia Sverige's project Connected Open Heritage (COH) aims to bring cultural heritage data onto Wikidata, and images of cultural heritage onto Wikimedia Commons. We especially focus on cultural heritage that is at risk globally. The logo will be used in brochures, on roll-ups, on templates on Commons and on project pages on different wikis. Read more about the project.
- Request
- Create a visually pleasing representation of the project name Connected Open Heritage with a CC0 license so that it easily can be used to promote the project. Preferably in svg so that it easily can be scaled for various use. (We do not mind getting alternatives from different wikigraphists to choose from.) --John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 14:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

- I have now submitted four logo ideas above. Hope there is something you can use. If you want any alternative versions or changes dont heitate to contact me. AlphaZeta (talk) 22:01, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
- @John Andersson (WMSE): I've submitted an idea as well. What are your thoughts? --Shandris (talk) 21:56, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi! Sorry for the extremely late reply. I was sure that I had written here already! These are some lovely logotypes both of you have created! With so many great possibilities I would love to take the opportunities to organize a open vote for all interested to have a say. I will look at that in a week or so when some reports I am working on are finalized. If anyone feel inspired, please add your suggestion as well. Again, thank you both!

- Basic node cleanup and adjacent node merging, Also the figure lower right should probably have a 'flash' band around it the same color as the main panel. --ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:31, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

For me I would appreciate if you could be more specific because I don't understand what you want to be done. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:32, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Update Western Australia population growth graph[edit]
Article(s): en:Western Australia, en:History of Western Australia
- Request
- The graph could use an update (data here), but even more so it needs a re-scaling: populations grow exponentially, which means the vertical axis needs a logarithmic scale. --Bender235 (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

- The English Wikipedia currently uses two non free files en:File:Polyploidy in fungi2.pdf and en:File:Polyploidy in fungi.pdf to illustrate the ploidy of fungi of different taxa. I wonder if it's possible to create diagrams with the same information that are free images so that we can use these instead.--Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:12, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
Hi @Markov, unfortunately the terms in French are too long in number of letters as well in terms of typesetting. That would be not different in German, but I omitted to the words „epoch“ and „era“ in my translation. If that is just as acceptable to the French version, I would be glad to provide the appropriate edit. Regards, MagentaGreen (talk) 14:13, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, MagentaGreen, really nice work for the german version ! Is it possible, in french, to :
- keep "ÈRE "
- omit "PÉRIODE DU " or "PÉRIODE DE L'"
- keep "Époque " ?
- In German, you wrote NEOGEN instead of KARBON (on -359 line), should omit -318, and you forgot Paläozän and Eozän (on the right)

Inkscape file display error[edit]

- I don’t know what happened. After adding the Chinese labels, the final picture looks fine in Inkscape. However, The uploaded display shows white lines at left half of the picture --老陳 (talk) 23:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
- That is very bad because this is a new bug from the last SVG-render update. All image version of this are affected. This needs to be reported on Phab. ↔ User: Perhelion 07:50, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- I suggest to make all files in one multi-language with the fix. @Menner: I raised only the coords of the radialGradient to fix, very strange (PS @Menner: I found also another new bug with mask and clones on other file, please don't purge :P). ↔ User: Perhelion 09:28, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- In fact it has nothing direct to do with Inkscape, I opened a bug-report. ↔ User: Perhelion 10:23, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
