    State seals of Vietnam

    Emblem of Vietnam, Politics of Vietnam and relevant articles
    Request
    Based on page 4 of this file, I would appreciate it if someone would help me render the first three seals of "Mẫu số 1" (CHỦ TỊCH NƯỚC for the President of Vietnam, THỦ TƯỚNG CHÍNH PHỦ for Prime Minister of Vietnam, and CHỦ TỊCH QUỐC HỘI for the Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, the 3 of them and ignore the fourth one), as well as the "Mẫu số 2" one (CHÍNH PHỦ NƯỚC CỘNG HÒA X.H.C.N. VIỆT NAM for the Government of Vietnam). The font should be Times New Roman or something similar, and the color should be pure red (RGB/CMYK/HTML). In Wikimedia Commons, they can be named "2012 seal of the President/Prime Minister/National Assembly Chairperson/Government of the S.R. Vietnam and licensed under {PD-VietnamGov} with {insignia} and {communist symbol}. Thank you so so much! --  Hwi.padam   02:18, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Hwi.padam: Hi Hwi, see the draft above for the president's seal. I did a copy/paste of the text you provided but I have no clue if pasting it in times new roman is reliable or not. Can you please confirm before I continue with the other seals? Thanks, --PBrieux (talk) 21:45, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello there, thank you for your effort. As I expect these to be rendering of the physical seals and there is never a "colored" rendition, they should be in red monochrome (only the red outlines - can be extracted from the emblem's construction sheet - and transparent background). You can see the actual seal here. The text looks fine tho.  Hwi.padam   21:51, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Makes sense! Now I get it why you posted the construction sheet and presented as an asset. I'll update accordingly PBrieux (talk) 22:12, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Yep, for the reference, this is the real-life usage of the Government of Vietnam's seal [4]. The seals for the persons use dotted circle while it is a solid line for the government, as precisely seen in the PDF file that I attached above. The emblem looks to be the same, which can be revised with small details from the construction sheet above.  Hwi.padam   22:21, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Hwi.padam If you validate I will do the rest of the seals. PBrieux (talk) 13:19, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Looks pretty good actually! I have some recommendations:
    • Can you use the full "CỘNG HÒA XÃ HỘI CHỦ NGHĨA VIỆT NAM" text from the full-color emblem? The construction sheet is also for the emblem of North Vietnam, which had a different formal name to the contemporary Vietnam, so the construction sheet only featured "Việt Nam" to cover both the version.
    • As this is the impression device, can you remove the white background and make it transparent?
    • Can you revise the emblem's star and make it look more similar to the nomination in the documentation? It includes a dot in the center and the petals are striped for shadowing effects.
    • I could be wrong, but it looks like the Vietnamese designers intentionally stretched the emblem a little bit in the horizontal direction to make the shape to be "more parallel" to the external circle border.
    Thank you for your contribution anyway!  Hwi.padam   21:39, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Hwi.padam: I added the expression "CỘNG HÒA XÃ HỘI CHỦ NGHĨA VIỆT NAM"; I also added the stripes for the shadow within the star. However for the dot in the center, imho it is solely an optical illusion from the crossing point of the petals. I stretched laterally the emblem as you mentioned. However the bad news is that it would take hours to make it transparent. I upload it with the white background. Maybe somebody will know how to make it efficiently and nicely. --PBrieux (talk) 23:11, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Look very nice already! Just one more detail, the "cộng hòa xã hội chủ nghĩa" small line on the emblem should be in a sans-serif font, as shown in the original emblem and also looked like that in the government's nomination. "Việt Nam" is in serif/times new roman, which is correct!
    The background can be for later, which is ok.  Hwi.padam   23:28, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Btw, can you fix the circles inside the cogwheel? they look a bit messy after you stretched the emblem. Tks!  Hwi.padam   23:32, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    @RAPTOR7762: Thanks for all the files you've created so far! Just a few things:
    1) Regarding Elizabeth Anne Sheldon's proposal, could you add the pattern of gold nuggets underneath the seal (which is what the gold smudges at the bottom of the blue disk are intended to represent, since the blue disk is supposed to be a prospector pan)?
    2) Regarding both Robert Niel DeArmond's proposal and Walter A. Savikko's proposal, perhaps you could change the seals on those ones to the full-colour version, instead of the yellow version from the other two existing files? It's just that since the source images don't actually give visual demonstrations of how the seal is intended to be displayed on those proposals, I think the primary full-colour version would be a safer bet (and the same would apply to the seal on Eugene Wacker's proposal if you decide to make that file as well).
    Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks again for all your hard work already. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:34, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Heart-shaped depiction in Leo xiv's coat of arms

    [edit]

    It's been a few months since Leo Xiv's heraldry was revealed, and regardless of whether the background color in the lower right corner is yellowish or white, their hearts are always complete and there's no dent on the right side. I'd like to ask if the heraldry on Wikipedia should be updated. Based on the images I've seen so far, the heart shape on his coat of arms should be similar to the heart shape he used when he was a cardinal.
