Article(s): Seal of Texas, Republic of Texas, Other articles
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)

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)

Description with sketches of request for dodecahedron flat-fold wikipedia logo handout
Article(s): Not Applicable
Request: This graphic object will be used at Wikipedia Ambassador Program Educational Outreach events. McMormor (talk) 20:41, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Hi - I've asked around friends who are obsessed with polyhedrons for a solution, but none of us know how to tackle this. There's several difficulties here, the first two theoretical, the last practical.
- The dodecahedron is uniform, whereas the actual puzzle-globe is not. It's hard to see from the official rendering in the side-bar, but the pieces in the equator is actually bigger (not just perspective), and the pieces towards the poles are tiny.
- The puzzle-pieces are 4-sided, and it's not clear how they can fit non-awkwardly on 5-sided planes.
- How does one map from a spherical object to a dodecahedron without distortion?
So, at this point I'm not sure if it's doable. However, if you're willing to settle for something simple, like a single character on each face, that would be imminently doable. Jon C (talk) 19:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Oops, I might have goofed ... I posted my reply to your talk page. So I'll repost it here so it's contained with my request.
- I apologize for taking so long to respond to your post. I'm a MSU-Bozeman (Montana) Campus Ambassador and these have been the last two weeks of classes for Spring 2011, so I’ve been a bit busier than normal (I also work on campus in the library). Thanks for your patience.
- If you think you can generate something that “looks like the wikipedia puzzle” then your idea of a single character on each face sounds great.
- I was going to try and create a mock-up over the summer, --literally cut out all the characters and then do a paper cut-out dodecahedron in the same scale and then glue them on. My thinking was if you folks had an actual mock-up model then it would be easier to translate it into an actual graphic. What do you think?
- Again, thanks for you patience and help! And sorry for my multiple replies. I’m still very much a newbie wikipedian. McMormor (talk) 17:04, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Here's something for you to cut, paste, and play with; it's probably easier than a hand-drawn version because the shapes are precise in this template. I don't know how the puzzle pieces will fit on here, and I haven't scissors and tape one myself yet. Any mockup that clears up the proposal will be helpful. Jon C (talk) 21:46, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Sweet!
- I've printed it. Print is great! Will cut, tape, play with it this afternoon, and report back with results! Nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by McMormor (talk • contribs) 17:05, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

- Cool stuff! Seeing it in flesh and blood - well, pixels - makes me wonder if we should break each pentagon face into 5 small triangles, and make each face a puzzle piece. The puzzle-pieces would be three-sided, which may look odd (and I'll need to figure out how to make them cross seamlessly from one to the next), but the tilings would then be regular. The resulting object will then have an apparent 60 faces, quasi-matching (off top of my head) the 54 characters in the wikimedia set - possibly with open top / places for drawing on. Ideally this would be with some actual curvature to the center of the pentagon (so it's not just apparently flat) - is there an equivalent flat-fold that can do that?

Request: Can someone please attempt to draw vectorised versions of the party logos featured in this photo? Given that I've no idea of the colour scheme used please use a monochrome colour scheme. The first would be just the logo with the "Accion Regional" text beneath it and the second the circular logo with the two arches around it 79.79.45.53 (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2011 (UTC) http://www.servidor2dm.com/carta/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=88296

Done Accion Regional with text.svg. I will not do the other logo since this one was tagged as it has no permission. Ufo karadagli (talk) 13:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- Problem was solved. Hope nobody took the second logo already. I will now do the second one. Ufo karadagli (talk) 16:07, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
