Request: Rotate the image about 70 degrees clockwise so north is at the top... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 10:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Not a simple and straight-forward job. The rotation is, but an awful lot of sea and clouds would need to be cloned in order to fill out the gaps once the rotation is completed. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 13:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Or just leave it as blank space for now, we'll see what it looks like at that point. Cheers. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Hi to all. Actually, wiki has the image above as CoA of the K. of Yugoslavia. However, how it can be seen [1], [2], [3], [4], the real CoA was more simple, and the crown was a bit different. Can anybody solve the problem? Thanks. 95.237.154.119 (talk) 17:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Need help removing the spaces between the shapes. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 18:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'm afraid there are more problems to this image than just the distance between letters. The gradient is showing significant banding with obvious paths between each shade change. Additionally the licensing of the image is way off. This is a screenshot from a well known movie. The image you have chosen is iconic of that movie, also are you aware that when a movie is copyrighted, every single frame of that film holds that self-same copyright? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure it still falls under the movie's copyright, if the logo is fully extracted from the frame? After all, you could derive it from a multitude of other sources as well. I think it can/should be viewed as a separate copyright entity. But I'm no copyright expert, of course. As for the SVG – I think the logo should be either re-traced by hand or be cleaned up and made a bitmap image. Right now it's a terrible mess. —Quibik (talk) 19:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed it was OK after I saw this image. There was a deletion debate over the Star Wars Logo.svg and it resultd on a majority agreeing to keep it based on {{PD-textlogo}}. The source of the original image from which the SVG was generated was a promotion poster. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 19:36, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I tried to redo it in a more simplistic way. I am attaching the original jpg just in case any one can do a better job. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Medal of Honor, Navy version used 1913 to 1942

Article(s): Medal of Honor, and all pages currently using File:NavyMOH 1913-1942.jpg

Request: Please make background transparent. I was meddling with it in Adobe Photoshop, but when I flattened the image, the transparency disappeared? Anyway, I'm starting to replace all uses of File:NavyMOH 1913-1942.jpg with this image, so renaming it would not be useful; please override the current one at Commons. bahamut0013^words _deeds 00:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In Photoshop, instead of flattening layers, use merge visible layers instead. Flattening throws away the transparency. Or alternatively if saving as a PNG, keep the layers the way they are and choose "save for web/devices", then when you choose PNG you have the option of maintaining the transparency. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 01:07, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be 100% honest, I didn't do a very good job of it anyway. I feel better that a competent graphist took this task on. I do appreciate the advice, however. bahamut0013^words _deeds 01:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Austrian Airlines Logo

Resolved

Article(s): Austrian Airlines

Request: This SVG file was taken from an official PDF source here. The file is displaying perfectly in Inkscape but is not being displayed properly by the Wikimedia server. What can be done to fix this? JovianEye (talk) 20:24, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Cracked it after three attempts. I re-extracted it from the PDF in Adobe Illustrator and expanded the paths/group that made up the curve and the gradient. I scaled it up a bit and et voila it displays properly now, or at least it does in Firefox anyway. Request taken by Fred the Oyster. Done

I think the problem originated from the gradient that was embedded as a bitmap image. Fred's version was still using it, so I uploaded a new version with a real gradient. —Quibik (talk) 21:13, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly-made SVG

Poorly-made SVG

EGA to use on left
Navy seal to use on right
good caduceus to use
Done

Article(s): 1st Medical Battalion, various lists of units

Request: The original author merely ocnverted a very low-resolution version of the logo, and as a result, distorted many details. The Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on the left looks more like a smear, and the Navy seal on the right isn't much better. The caduceus is horrid: it looks like a strand of DNA growing bat wings and a cotton swab in the center. The lettering ins't so hot, either. I'm hoping a graphist can correct the poor converstion with the good examples I'be provided. bahamut0013^words _deeds 23:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
