Request: Could someone possibly vectorise these emblems please, many thanks. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 23:33, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I did one of them. Three remains. Jon C (talk)

The emblem you've redrawn appears to be a bitmap trace, and not a proper vectorisation. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 03:13, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Trajan. In terms of the method, I did a combination of tracing and manual work on the image, to generate a (resolution-independent) SVG with supposed flat colors, a transparent background, and smaller file size. I consider this result an upgrade over the photographic PNG source, and of suitable use in Wikipedia.
By "proper vectorization", do you wish for a different method (e.g., the full deal, i.e., re-drawing everything from scratch; re-designing and idealizing the braid patterns of the photograph), or a different result (in which case you can point out places that need fixing)?
I'm open to fixing details, but I think it's pointless to re-work from ground up for marginal (and possibly inauthentic) improvements. Jon C (talk) 08:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
