Empire of Brazil
Article(s): José Paranhos, Viscount of Rio Branco and Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies Request: Hello! In the first image: I'd like to see the letters at the top and at lower left removed. If possible, leave the image itself a little more... darker so it can contrast with the white background. Also, leave the background completely white or even translucid.

In the second image: remove the yellowish background in the signature, please. Thank you very much! Lecen (talk) 13:55, 9 December 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Pardon me for asking but why was the first image uploaded above this one? It's blurry, of lower resolution and overall inferior to the one below it. At least they should be moved to different files. Regards. -- Orionist ★ talk  19:01, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, but the previous version has dark shades in both sides because the page did not fit in the scanner. If someone was capable of improving it, that would be certainly wonderful! --Lecen (talk) 22:57, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. But we usually upload different file if the images are different regardless of quality. I'll upload the overwritten image as a separate file, and will see if something can be done to the shades on the sides. However, if you have access to the original printed image, you can scan it in 2 parts or more, and they can be merged into one, much better image. -- Orionist ★ talk  21:56, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The shades don't really strike me as being the difficulty, it's a fairly straightforward fix and not an overly-noticeable problem. Personally I think the issue is that the original image has the sides cut off, whereas the current image pictures the entire cabinet. Also there's the issue of a lot of blurring on the edges (especially the right). I agree that scanning it as two separate pictures and stitching them together would be sensible, if we have access to the original printed image, - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): 23rd World Scout Jamboree Request: Please redraw the svg, treat the whole as an image, not as a font or text. png is correct stylistically. please match png. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:36, 31 December 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

IPA PNGs
Article(s): X-SAMPA and other phonetics-related articles Request: Most IPA images have transparent backgrounds, but some do not. Please give the following transparency: 76.118.227.30 (talk) 19:26, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): All of these symbols, in vector form, can be found in the PDF-manual for the LaTeX package TIPA. I'm unfamiliar with phonetics, so someone else may be more efficient in pick the right ones to replace the low resolution PNGs systematically. Jon C (talk) 08:07, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hydrosphere's map
Article(s): Hydrosphere and pt:Predefinição:Esferas da Terra Request: Make a world map of the Hydrosphere, including talassosphere, cryosphere and limnosphere, each a different color. Luan (discussão) 16:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): This may be better suited as a request for the Map Workshop. In any case, I don't have sufficient info to know what are the extents of each of these talassosphere, limnosphere, and cryosphere. Are there a complete map for each of these that the graphists can composite? Jkwchui (talk) 09:03, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I might have the right map for this. But I need to know if the "limnosphere" includes rivers and streams, or is it lakes only? My web search produced very little mention of this term and no definition whatsoever. Is there another word for it? I also found that "talassosphere" is often called "Oceanosphere". If you have good sources about these, I'd also suggest creating articles for them. Regards. -- Orionist ★ talk  10:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

These details can be seen more clearly in the larger version. Jon C (talk) 07:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Vostok 1 patch
Article(s): Vostok 1, Vostok programme, various others. Request: Hi folks, could this patch please be vectorised? I think the text on the globe is supposed to read 'CCCP', and the text below reads 'Восток'. Many thanks in advance! Colds7ream (talk) 07:56, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It definitely reads 'CCCP', this one does. -- Orionist ★ talk  11:46, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):


 * ✅ The original image was not very good so I used the pin image linked above as a reference for colors and some details. If a difference is found in another source image I can change it in a heart beat. I hope you like the result. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk  17:50, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Text position broken in thumbnails despite converting to paths
Article(s): Brewster's angle (though currently removed as it's broken) Request: As SVG help is no longer maintained I thought I'd ask here. I've done everything required for inkscape files as given in wp:SVG Help. If I look at the SVG in inkscape or firefox it's fine, but the text placement is broken in the thumbnails. What can I do to fix this? Thanks. ChrisHodgesUK (talk) 11:12, 21 December 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Sorry, it's now fixed, converting to paths did the trick. Even after purging the thumbnails took a while to update, which is why I thought it was still broken.

I've left this request in rather than deleting it, but I don't mind if anyone wants to tidy it up (or wants me to)

Thanks

 * Thanks for the effort, but there's two important points you have missed:
 * Embedding a bitmap image inside a SVG does not make it any more vectorized than it was before. You have to recreate it in vector form, which usually means redrawing all the content (in Inkscape, for example).
 * If you have altered an image on Wikimedia Commons, then upload it there (and not on enwiki) by using the derivativeFX tool.
 * I guess you can at least upload the transparent-background version you created over the original PNG. —Quibik (talk) 22:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ I traced Joe's image and overwritten the SVG. Jon C (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 * A draft SVG is attached above, but the text is too small for me to trace. The Arabic text is currently a simple google-translate of the English text.  Can an Arabic speaker please paste the text here? Jon C (talk) 03:24, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ I've added the Arabic script to the file, also the English text needed to be in bold so I've done that too and outlined them all. It's ready for you to pick up! Regards, -- <font color="#0066CC">Orionist ★ <font color="#0066CC">talk  14:40, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Logo for Portal:London
Article(s): Portal:London Request: I'm hoping to revive Portal:London, and envisage a clever logo parodying City of Westminster street signs, which would head the page. The only imaging program I have isn't up to the job so I hope a Graphist can do a large .svg version along the same lines as my attempt above. I used Franklin Gothic Medium but I think something in the Univers family would be closer to the actual font. I would also like the text at the bottom to read WIKIPROJECT: LONDON rather than WIKIPROJECT OF LONDON as I have put it in the example. Thanks! Ham 19:01, 16 January 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): ✅ Jon C (talk) 19:54, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The font's perfect, but could it please have the black border with the rounded corners, and a white rather than transparent background, as in the Paint version? Thanks. Ham 16:01, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Blank Wikipedia logo using new version
Request: I was wondering if you could remove the characters from the new Wikipedia logo and upload a blank version, with no characters on the puzzle pieces.

Jon C (talk) 03:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Your eyes were not tricking you, sometimes files done with Inkscape get broken when opened/saved in Illustrator and vice versa, especially when they contain patterns, gradients or blurred areas. I had to use a text editor to remove the characters "safely". Regards! -- <font color="#0066CC">Orionist ★ <font color="#0066CC">talk  10:40, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Okay, I can do that. Do you have a copy of the flag somewhere that I can take the color from? If you had a sample of the color, I could match it exactly. I can change it to 009900 easy enough, though, if you're sure that's the right color. Makeemlighter (talk) 13:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Everything I have is black and white, I just know they didn't use bright internet green as a flag color-it would be impossible to get a cloth that color in 1946 France.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:56, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
