Virgin Australia logo
Article(s): Virgin Australia Request: I'd really appreciate it if you could convert this logo into a vector 'in line' with the other major Australian airlines. This logo has been in use for over a year and would definitely benefit from a redraw. F orenti talk 02:01, 24 September 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * ✅ I took a bit of liberty with the drop shadow, but I found vector versions of the rest of the logo in a couple of PDF files on their website. gringer (talk) 15:52, 26 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for your time - it looks great! F orenti talk  09:46, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems to have run into some trouble on the Virgin Australia and Virgin Australia Holdings pages. A user has undone the edits to the vector version, claiming that 'the logo isnt quite right, the shading isnt as good quality plus its missing on the right of the logo'. Unfortunately I have to agree with him but I also understand that getting it just right can be very difficult. I implore you, providing you have the time, to fix these issues but otherwise it's no worries - thanks again. F orenti talk  09:57, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Toothpick sequence animation
Article(s): Toothpick Sequence Request: Could someone please make a .gif animation of the first few (or several) iterations of the Toothpick sequence? There's an applet that demonstrates it in the External Links; this is a pretty simple design and process, but all of the available animations or even illustrations are non-free.

 * It is certainly possible to make animated SVGs, but I don’t know how myself either; none of the drawing applications I use that support the format has any capabilities in that line.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 06:41, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Scandinavian flag
Article(s): Flags of Europe, Flag of the Nordic Council Request: Redraw as SVG and enlargen to a bigger size. Graphist opinion(s):

A vector version can be found on page 50 here http://web.archive.org/web/20090130075322/http://norden.org/designmanual/sk/nmr_designmanual_2.0_090206.pdf#page=50; note that the current version of the flag has the verbiage 'norden' included, so as to make the flag less good. :p ¦ Reisio (talk) 23:05, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I have extracted the flag from that "Designmanual 2.0" (apparently, the current version) and uploaded it as SVG:
 * Flag of the Nordic Council.svg
 * It seems that the old version used the same logo but of slightly different color and without the text (see here) — if needed, it can be easily created from the current file. — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 02:17, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup trophies
Hi there- would it be possible for someone more adept at using image editing software than myself to make a few quick modifications to some images? These are for awards in the 2012 WikiCup, which has just finished. If anyone's up for it (and it shouldn't be too difficult), could you please add the respective flags to the images, emblazoning them on the trophies and replacing the flag already on the statue? Also, could you please replace the name on the statue with "Cwmhiraeth" and update the year? In each case, please upload them separately from the current image. Thanks very much!

WikiProject Logo update
Article(s): WikiProject Warriors Request: Hello. The first file was the logo for WikiProject Warriors. Due to a change in the project scope, we were hoping to update the logo to the second file. However, we would like a few modifications. First and foremost, could someone please vectorize this logo, as was done for the old logo? If possible as well:
 * could the dog be made paler than both the cat and bear?
 * could the white gap between cat and dog be then removed, once the colour of the dog has been changed?

Request: Make PNG versions of these images, with transparent backgrounds and with compression artifacts removed. Despite their high resolutions, both images do not exceed MediaWiki's 1.25 * 107 pixel limit for rendering PNGs.

 * Thank you.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 17:58, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * So, editable in Inkscape now. It was one circle dot per pix!, interesting. I rewrote svg manually into rectangles (notepad++), but when uploading the file to commons it failed (stalled), so I uploaded the Inkscape version. All right then. -DePiep (talk) 00:10, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

 * OK, have a look at my upload. Not that the colors appear darker than they are, due to the age of the paper.--Antemister (talk) 22:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Looks great, thank you! Can you use different colors for sea and sky?--Antemister (talk) 19:07, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * What color should I use? What color was it originally? - ArnoldPlaton (talk) 21:43, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Have a look at, which seems to show better colors. The colors you did use are those typical FOTW colors from the early times of the internet. Use a bit darker color for the water, like. It is hard to find the original colors.--Antemister (talk) 22:37, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Hope it's enough. I wouldnt go darker as it needs a bit of contrast with the rest of the flag. - ArnoldPlaton (talk) 23:01, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
