Convert black (or maybe transparent ) background to white

 * Article(s):
 * BT TV


 * Request:
 * Please note — I am not looking for someone to fix this but for someone to tell me how to fix it because it is a common issue.

Please also note, the logo owner provided a new version, which I have uploaded - click on the image above to see the prior version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphilbrick (talk • contribs) 14:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Many people send a logo to Wikimedia for use in an article, and I process a fair number of these requests. In some cases, the the logo has a black background, which is not desired. I don't think I've seen this with a.jpg file but it occasionally happens with a.PNG file. The typical sequence is that they provide an attached file, which I download and open in IrfanView to reduce the resolution. I then upload the resulting file to Wikipedia.

See this page in upper left, to see what it should look like.

I would like to learn how to convert the black background to white. My current process is to tell the provider of the logo that there was a problem with a logo and they often provide a JPEG file, but I'd like to learn how to correct the problem myself. -- S Philbrick  (Talk)  13:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Request: Can someone please revectorise this coat of arms? Here are some images for reference http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/images/0/08/Sthelena.jpg http://www.flagshag.com/smaller/africancoats/St._Helena_Coat_of_Arms.jpg. Also, can the shield from the coat of arms be uploaded separately and be inserted onto the Saint Helena flag? Thanks in advance. --109.77.132.136 (talk) 18:43, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Not just the old logo but the newer one too. I just realize that. Still, both should be uploaded to Commons. --George Ho (talk) 17:55, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration

 * Article(s):
 * WP:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration and the corresponding 2016 WikiMania Poster proposed here


 * Request:
 * I am working to broaden the appeal of this wikiproject, which was discussed by Jimmy Wales in a newspaper article in January. The existing logo (above left) is very unappealing, and the project would benefit from something slightly more professional. A couple of my ideas are shown in the images above, but I am not knowledgeable enough to know what is easily achievable. Oncenawhile (talk) 01:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Some more ideas from the internet are below. I can't upload these for copyright.

 * Graphist opinion(s):
 * I actually made an SVG of the yin-yang emblem some time ago (now uploaded). Filling the handshake image with the flags should be relatively easy, as it is an SVG. The collaboration image will be harder, being a JPG, but probably doable by someone experienced with Photoshop or a similar raster editing program. SiBr4 (talk ) 20:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This is great, thank you! I've added a couple of further ideas above. I'm concious that i'll need to get consensus from the wikiproject for whichever logo we propose. Which do you think will look the best?
 * Oncenawhile (talk) 08:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The figures building the puzzle globe is a great idea, and the only that is about collaboration and building the encyclopedia rather than Israeli-Palestinian peace in general. I don't have the raster editing skills to put in the flags, though some other people here, at WP:GL/PHOTO, in some of these categories, or even the image's original creator probably do.

 * ✅- FOX 52 (talk) 22:20, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. There's one a little something missing: like in that EU expansion animation, the Cro-Magnon gif should display the years (maybe in the upper left corner). --bender235 (talk) 18:31, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Should the years be represented with 32,000 BP, 35,000 BP etc..? - FOX 52 (talk) 06:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

As an Inkscape user I get me text from "WordArt" through Mircosoft Word 2007 - FOX 52 (talk) 20:35, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * So you just copy and past the text? But there's already text that exists in the file--Hipposcrashed (talk) 20:37, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I've made the text adjustment (it may take a day for the server to catch up) - but you'd erase the old text and input the new one from the MS word - FOX 52 (talk) 21:05, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
