Graphist opinion(s):

These are complex! I traced the second image in black and white to get your thoughts before I attempt to colorize it. ℳono 22:53, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As these images are not "simple", I did a rough trace. The files are large, as the root image is detailed. I hope this helps, however, it's far from perfect. ℳono

Request: Redraw as SVG.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 12:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

There's a discussion right now on the talk page about requests similar to this. No consensus has been reached on wording as yet, but since you are posting a number of requests of this nature, I'll post the latest proposed text here for you to have a look at. The discussion is at this link....

The vector versions of non-free images like company logos and other items need careful handling. Graphists at the lab cannot always convert a raster file (JPEG, GIF or PNG) to SVG. A manual re-draw of the logo is likely to result in an inaccurate version of the logo and this may lead to copyright violation! Thus, searching for an official version of the vector image is very important. Often, the vector version of a company logo is posted on the company's website such as an SVG, AI, CDR or EPS file. In other instances, vector logos can be found embedded within PDF documents since PDFs support vector graphics. Using the advanced search option in Google, can help finding PDF documents (Use the "File type" and "Search within a site or domain" tools). To confirm the presence of a vector logo in a PDF file, zoom several times into the logo and check for the absence of pixels. Upon finding a PDF with vector logo, use a vector graphic editor such as Inkscape to extract the vector file from the PDF source. If you do not know how to do this using a vector graphic editor, make a request here at the lab and include the URL of the PDF source or other vector source. A graphist will assist you in the process.

Request: Vectorize.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 09:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Done The BBC logo, that look okay? §hep ^Talk 01:51, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As for the CNN one, I highly doubt a vector exists - it'd simply be too complex as the globe is a raster image. The PNG is fine. Connor mah 03:22, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please give a try I'm sure you can do it. The svg format of CNN logo can't be found its hard to believe.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 06:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can show me a vector version of the CNN international logo hidden in a PDF somewhere I'd be happy to rip it and convert it. Connormah is right that creating the globe in SVG by hand would be difficult and most likely result in some legality issues. The CNN logo as a raster is only being used on 2 pages and they both look fine/not pixelated. §hep ^Talk 18:04, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You could embed the globe as a raster image in the SVG file. gringer (talk) 12:54, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True, but I think the PNG is fine - the file would probably be huge as well with an embedded raster. Connor mah 19:46, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Added SVG file with embedded PNG (screenshot from NASA World Wind). I could reduce the size of this if necessary, because at the nominal resolution, the globe's got about 3 times the resolution it needs to. gringer (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two issues. One is that I see nothing gained from having vector letters when the rasters scale well. Second is that the globe image is different from what CNN uses, using a different one most likely infringes on whatever rights they hold to the image. §hep ^Talk 13:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that. What may be even more relevant is http://edition.cnn.com/CNNI . Seems the current logo is white on red with no colour in the globe anyway. (unless this is just for historical purposes) Begoon^talk 02:28, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, just the 'CNN' part has already been done. I think if this is for CNN International, then it should probably be the current logo, rather than an old logo. gringer (talk) 10:52, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The globe involved in the CNN logo is not something that can be vectorized while still maintaining its integrity. §hep ^Talk 23:17, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a higher-res version? sonia♫ 10:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the low-res. This one should be good enough.-- Forty two 10:36, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. It seems that the version you've just linked is the more recent, accurate logo. Could you possibly acquire the text for the non-English bit? sonia♫ 12:12, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whilst this could have been redrawn, it's far preferable to use an official version if available. I didn't think I was going to be able to find one, because the first 15 or 20 pdfs I looked at all had low quality bitmaps in them. However, finally I found it in a document from their design faculty: http://www.symbiosisdesign.ac.in/pdf/Programme_Structure_PD.pdf - it's slightly different to the one you posted (doesn't have the parentheses around "deemed university" (which is also not all caps) or the ©) but it is from an official document, so I uploaded as is. It's possibly worth actually emailing them to ask if they have an official vector version we should use. Begoontalk 13:59, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great work, Begoon. That's significantly different from both files 42 linked- weird. sonia♫ 14:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it just means they have various versions floating around - the first jpg (in the GLNF box above) is the one they use on most of their web pages, but it could be outdated, which is why I suggested the email to them to confirm which they view as "official". At the very least, the basic shapes and non-English text are correct in the SVG, so if someone does end up editing it to create a derivative, they will be correct. And thank you, too - you just saved me pinging your talk page to try and stop you doing too much work on it. Begoontalk 14:15, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I might get that email out. The article currently reads, "In 2006 the University Grants Commission withdrew the word "Deemed" and renamed the institution as "Symbiosis International University".", but the use of the old logo on their webpage makes me somewhat uncertain. sonia♫ 14:25, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience it's not uncommon for organisations to be lax on version control when it comes to things like this. They may not even have proper Corporate Identity procedures set up. The web site design says it was outsourced to a company which does these kind of "identity packages". Quite possibly the different departments do their own thing and nobody properly co-ordinates it. If you do email, I'd recommend chancellor[at]siu.edu.in - he should at least be able to get the right person to answer. Begoontalk 14:33, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and sorry for the trouble.
