Request: We currently do not have the 2 former Seals of the Republic of Texas, both of which can be seen on this page, as well as HERE and HERE. It would be great to have them added in SVG format. The first seal was used from 1836 to 1839. The second was used from 1839-1845, and was almost identical to the current state seal provided above, but with "Republic of Texas" instead of "The State of Texas" as the inscription. As far as I know, the first seal was never coloured, however the second seal was, so please use the same colouring scheme as the current State Seal for the second seal of the Republic, and upload them as "Great Seal of the Republic of Texas ()" with the years of use in the brackets. They can both be uploaded to Commons as PD as they're certainly too old for copyright. Thank you Fry1989 (talk) 05:42, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

 Request taken by Svgalbertian.: I have completed the 1836 version. The fonts are not perfect, so I encourage others to tweek it. As for the 1839, I would need to create some new artwork for the fig leaves, so that will take me longer.--Svgalbertian (talk) 17:56, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

THANKS!!! :D Can't wait for 1839! Fry1989 (talk) 19:40, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
