Crown of Libya
Article(s): Kingdom of Libya Request: See talkpage for a list of issues, and main image page for references. Basically, the red field should be either white or transparent, the yellow ring should be a "A white ring with thin black borders", the central star should be rotated 180 degrees, and (if you really feel inspired), the ""Plantar/ floral ornamentation" should be more "floral", as shown here. dab (𒁳) 13:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Dindigul town crest

 * ✅ There you go. Click the image to get to the description page, right-click the link "Dindigul_crest.svg‎" under the image on that page, and save it, and you have an Inkscape file if you want to do any more fiddling, perhaps adjusting the letters or something.

Logo for Wikipedia student clubs
Request: We're starting to see Wikipedia student clubs forming at various places, with interest at other places for starting them soon. Anyone want to take a shot at designing a logo/emblem/symbol for Wikipedia clubs? If they can be customized to create recognizable variants for individual clubs, that would be even cooler. (This may not be in any way feasible, but I find the MIT Media Lab customizable logos to be really cool.) It might make sense to borrow imagery from the Wikipedia Ambassador logo, although not necessarily. Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:22, 16 April 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Hi Sage - What are these logos going to be used for? Website? Letterhead? Should they be B&W/color? Jon C (talk) 21:58, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm... I'm not sure. Website, at least, and maybe screen-printing as a likely possibility. Nobody could say for certain what will become of these clubs, but I'm hoping they'll start to take off and that a good logo could bring some extra enthusiasm.  B&W or color would be fine.  I'm personally a big fan of the Wikimedia three-color designs and style, but of course the Wikipedia logo itself, as well as derivatives like the ambassador logo above, are B&W.  Cheers --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 00:28, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

If there is a choice, I personally find B&W to be more classy (and encyclopedias are supposed to be classy). There are two basic ways we can go about the "recognizable variants" - one is the dynamic route the MIT Media lab took (via Processing/JS), the other is selecting from a set of pre-rendered images. Vectors are more suitable for logos, but I don't know of ways to dynamically render anything sophisticated into vector.

The pre-rendering route would involve generating (preferably programmatically) thousands of combinations as vector images (see Figure; semi-manually done). The group would select one of these logos, add text to it dynamically via an browser app, and download the logo as one happy convenient PDF. It would take some effort to put this together and work through the kinks. (Probably alot of effort, coming to think of it.)

In any case, I see this task as best coming from an underlying 3D asset, but I can't find a 3D model of the puzzle globe/pieces. Do you know if one is kicking around in Wikimedia? Jon C (talk) 18:32, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

edit: While dynamic generation is spiffy cool and all that, I suspect it's a grand solution for a non-existent problem (I'm prone to that...)  If we're looking at only a dozen of clubs or so needing logos per annum, it may be best to make some samples of what logos could look like, work out method to streamline the preparation, and then craft the logos by hand upon request. Jon C (talk) 18:50, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Jon, for playing around with this! I'm trying to get the 3D model source for you; it doesn't appear to be public anywhere, but I've contacted Jay Walsh who is the keeper of such things. --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 00:14, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

The 3D asset is in my hands and playing around is going on. Jon C (talk) 03:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

"Citation needed" simple SVG request
Article(s): N/A - for use with help/assistance template(s)/WP:AFC Request: Please could someone make a modified version of File:Citation-needed.svg which has one word above the other. I've made a 'mock up' using MS-Paint, http://helpmebot.org.uk/wiki/File:Cn2.png - that's what I want (but I cannot make SVG's); an SVG like that, with "[Citation" on one line, and "needed]" underneath, but otherwise in the same style as the existing pic.

I'd like it to be PD (as the current one is), so that it can be used as a link.

 * I think it has an tongue like in this picture --Vinie007 13:14, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think your best bet is to use the heads from the state emblem and modify them to fit the image.
