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

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Connormah. - I'll try it out, but it'll probably have some differences between the vector and PNG. Connor mah 05:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How's that? It's a bit modified, but I like the result. Connor mah 03:53, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just for fun, because I was bored, and because you'd already done all the hard work, I played with your version to try and put some of the relief back into the lettering. Now I've done it I think I prefer yours - but here it is anyway... Begoon^talk 07:33, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yours look pretty good, too. Especially the bevels - great job. Maybe you could modify my existing ones with the bevel effect you used in yours? Connor mah 04:43, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I can, I'll do it later - I have it on a saved action - basically, select the item, group, cut, paste in place, change colour to black and nudge left, paste in place again, change colour to white and nudge right, then paste in place the original letter - sounds long winded, but it's just a black sliver to left, white sliver to right gives the illusion of relief... Begoon^talk 08:09, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok - added - I assumed you wanted just the lettering in the outer ring. If you want to do the "quadrants" as well - it's the same principle. Begoon^talk 13:39, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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]

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.

Thanks Begoon. Can you do another version a bit more longer than higher? A bookcase so high is a bit "irreal". Using 2647 or 2660 volumes of course. emijrp (talk) 16:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Begoontalk 07:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I standardised the blue and red to match File:Flag of Myanmar.svg and the green to match File:Flag of Burma 1943.svg because I guessed that might be correct. If it isn't, then you can just revert to the version one previous, which match the colours in the png files above. Begoontalk 08:24, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if you can source better examples for the chicken, the bird and the dancer, I'd like to improve them at some point, since I had to try to make something of the low res originals, which were very pixellated, and I'm not thrilled with the result, but it's hard to improve without a better original, which I couldn't find.

Graphist opinion(s):

Request taken by Arnaud.ramey. Yeah, that would be funny ! A geek+artist thing :) Can you paste the data as CSV or similar here ? Arnaud Ramey (talk) 09:59, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, The free software statistical package, R, is able to output graphs as SVG files, using the function Cairo_svg (cairoDevice package). It can also import Excel spreadsheets (read.xls in the gdata package) and CSV files (read.csv in the base system). There are some quite nice tutorials available (e.g. here). If anyone is interested in getting help with using R, let me know. gringer (talk) 13:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, after some investigation, I stumbled upon tutorial of the french GL, which has more doc than the en.wiki one. They advice to use Gnumeric, an Excel-like which features svg export. Codls7ream, I think you don't even need us :) Arnaud Ramey (talk) 15:08, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Coat of arms of Burma

Request: vectorize, basically the same as the old one with the colors changed and minor mods... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC) Burmese text on the banner is as follows: Template:My--Hintha (talk) 09:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

The burmese version of the constitution seems to have a slightly better image of the coat of arms (page 190 of the PDF), but it appears to be a picture of a drawing, rather than a scalable image. I suspect a tracing from this will have better visual quality than a modification of the SVG. Which makes me wonder, what is the copyright status of this coat of arms? Would we be able to put a vector version of this onto commons, or should it be WP:NFCC? gringer (talk) 10:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded the higher resolution coat of arms (PNG format) from the burmese version of the constitution. I'll posterise that into black/red/yellow (and possibly some grey), then see if that can be traced. gringer (talk) 12:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm, a trace on the png file didn't work all that well, so I worked from the 1974-2008 SVG as suggested. I've done about as much as I could with my little computer (the colour changes), can someone else do the "minor" mods? Modifications needed: remove cog from middle; remove left hand text from centre banner; rotate remainder of centre banner text and recenter — it's probably easier to get rid of the text entirely, retype in Arial Unicode font put on a swirly path, then convert to curves; replace map with a better map of Burma; remove wheat and re-draw more spaced out with stem. The SVG image I have uploaded is NOT currently a good representation of the coat of arms, and there may be trademark/copyright issues in denoting it as such. gringer (talk) 13:49, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the cogwheel still needs to be removed, the olive laurels ought to be smaller, and the text needs to be updated. Also, as for the copyright status of the coat of arms: Burmese copyright law dates to the colonial era (Copyright Act in 1914, Indian Patents and Designs Act of 1911) and there are no means of legal enforcement. Hope that helps.--Hintha (talk) 19:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, on the blue-and-red version File:Coat of arms of Burma 1974-2008.png, per Hintha, could someone fix the Burmese words on the coat of arms of Burma, currently they are illegible in Burmese, especially the middle ribbon. It should say "ပြည်ထောင်စု ဆိုရှယ်လစ်သမ္မတ မြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော်" (Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma). If you need help finding a font, please let Hintha know. It renders on my computer, but Burmese is not yet a standard font, so you have to download one. Try downloading the Myanmar3 Unicode font available on BBC Burmese's website (link).--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 03:29, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two things:

The shape of Burma needs tweaked on both svgs, I might suggest File:LocationMyanmar.svg
Can anyone find a picture of the pre-1974 arms, with the three chinthe? I had one when I was a little nerdlet in Kindergarden, from the 1970 World Book encyclopedia, but that was 35 years, 6000 miles and 17 garage sales ago. In addition, I am fairly sure there was one prior to the 1962 coup that was different.

Thanks--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 03:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Try the outline map I've added to the gallery. It's a bit smaller in file size. I think I'm fairly safe using the GADM data with my script now (and uploading to commons), because it removes data points so that the vector file is lower resolution than the source data. gringer (talk) 06:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I worked out that I could do a difference operation to remove elements of the black lines without getting into the path editor. gringer (talk) 03:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't combine the SVGs, the trace was just three separate images layered over each other. I removed the nodes of the excess leaves. Does that look okay? §hep ^Talk 22:37, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The font in the pdf wasn't the same as the bitmap above, because that wasn't really the full logo on page 28 - it was a textual section heading with TATA as a vector, but the rest in the "wrong" font (Myriad Pro-Bold) as part of the text - I "stretched" and altered Bitstream Vera a bit to match the bitmap above and it's pretty close - close enough, I think, probably.
