Combining two coats of arms
Article(s): Template:Parliaments of England 1601 Request: Can the above two coats of arms be combined half-and-half into one image please? The dividing line should go diagonally from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner; with the Coat of Arms of England in the upper left half and the Coat of Arms of the Protectorate in the lower right half. Cheers, Zangar (talk) 10:43, 22 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Do you mean literally cut each CoA in half diagonally then join one to the other in one image, or do you mean put a complete CoA in diagonal corners of one image? --The Pink Oboe (talk) 12:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't make that clear. If they could be cut diagonally in half and then joined together in one image please. Cheers, Zangar (talk) 12:55, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

WVU Seal (super easy)
Article(s): West Virginia University

Request: Can anyone get the EPS file of the Seal of West Virginia University from here and upload it as an SVG? My version of Illustrator won't let me open it. – Connormah (talk) 00:36, 7 October 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:45, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

✅ It wasn't that easy! The reason your Illustrator barfed is because the EPS was actually a TIFF file encapsulated in an EPS envelope. I had to do an autotrace to get the resultant svg. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 15:07, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! – Connormah (talk) 04:59, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

BadSVG
Article(s): Libya (and others) Request: Two issues: The arab text is only a tracing, please replace it by normal text, see the article about the logo, and, please redraw the star Antemister (talk) 20:44, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Why is normal, rather than pathed Arab text required? Do we have to read the entire Libya article to discover the changes you wish made to the star, or do you think it would somewhat more efficient for you to tell us? --The Pink Oboe (talk) 21:55, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Normal text looks better than the text we have now. The text is: المجلس الوطني الانتقالي (al-majlis al-waṭanī al-intiqālī, "The Transitional National Council") and ‏ليبيا (Lībiyā "Libya"). THe star seems to be traced, too, so a "normal" star should be drawn--Antemister (talk) 08:06, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

--The Pink Oboe (talk) 09:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I hope that's okay now? There are some further issues with the image as a result of the initial autotracing but I don't have the time to sort them right now as it would probably mean starting from scratch and doing it by hand. If I have time later I might get to it, though no promises. If I've stuffed up in anyway just let me know, although I did copy and paste from your Arabic. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 09:56, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * In general, it is OK, but the source file File:NTC LR.png uses another font. Perhaps you should try to find a font which is more similar to the original file--Antemister (talk) 10:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It's bad enough trying to match fonts in English, I dread to think how hard it will be to match it in Arabic. Not to mention the fact that not all fonts have an Arabic subset. I know the English font is Helvetica, so it's quite possible the Arabic uses that font too, but there are so many variations of Helvetica that it becomes even more of a nightmare. I'll see what I can do. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 11:13, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that it's been reverted with no reason given I don't think I'll bother. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 12:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The Pink Oboe, I would support you putting your effort into completely correcting the image. Ignore people who revert your work without rhyme or reason.  Fry1989  eh?   17:23, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Finally I think I have it right, let's just see how fast Moaning Minnie takes to revert it! --The Pink Oboe (talk) 11:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

A thank you, it was possible to change the font. Can anyone here vectorize this early version de:Datei:National Transitional Council logo.png (same text, please use only black color black, the real colors are not known)--Antemister (talk) 21:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Is that a fair use image as if not I'll upload it to Commons? --The Pink Oboe (talk) 21:39, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how it will pass on Commons. I personally think it would be ok.  Fry1989  eh?   21:44, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Should be OK on Commons.--Antemister (talk) 07:46, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Got outlines but "foreign artworks" are giving troubles: if anyone can fix File:Vaseline Logo.svg, it'd be great. – Connormah (talk) 02:58, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The "foreign artworks" were that the original from the PDF used a raster graphic rather than a true gradient. All fixed. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 09:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

company logo
Article(s): WWE Request: I my amateur job vectorizing this logo improved, vectorized using this. I think i did something wrong cause it's blurring when you up scale or down scale it.  CRRays Head90  | Another way... 04:59, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Seems to be a raster image in a SVG file... I can look for an official SVG. – Connormah (talk) 23:11, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ I Found an official version at WWE-AR2008.pdf. The colour of the logo seems to change depending on what background is used. I've coloured it black so as to be seen on a transparent background, though if it's preferred to have the white version on a black background I can sort that out too if required. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 00:51, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It needs to be white because that's official.  CRRays Head90  | We Believe! 10:19, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Better? Or would you prefer a black background? --The Pink Oboe (talk) 18:04, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * If you ask me, that's perfect. Thanks.  CRRays Head90  | We Believe! 20:08, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That's the corporate logo, I vectorized their company logo here, but there's white space on the background - Sir Pawridge talk contribs 06:12, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I see you've done multiple reverts and version changes, but I can't actually see what changes, if any, you've made or what it is that you are trying to achieve? What exactly is the difference between the "corporate logo" and the "company logo"? Tell me what you need and I'll change it, but as far as I can see the current version is the official version, though perhaps without the black strokes but with a black background. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, your link to Vector Magic is duff for anyone other than yourself. You'd need to give us a different link direct to the image so that we can see what you've done and under which license. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 15:21, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems the WWE uses several versions of the logo. See this 2010 Annual Report which uses black "WW" while this other file uses both the black and stroked version. So I guess you can just revert to the black versions you did at first, as it's a legitimate variant. As for the corporate vs. company logo. It's true that sometimes the corporate brand is different from the trade brands, but I can't see any difference in this case. Regards, -- Orionist  ★  talk  17:50, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

✅Gauravjuvekar (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't bold or darken the letterings. It's suppose to be a signature so if you alter it, it won't be the same thing.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:40, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Also I notice the area inside the "B" isn't vectorized at all. It looks really weird.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:35, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It is vectorised, it just isn't transparent. Even so, 44kb for a signature? Sheesh! --The Pink Oboe (talk) 23:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * i did a quick portrace without much ado and this is the result. you can edit and improve it. i am not THAT skilled with svgs Gauravjuvekar (talk) 05:14, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * After having done an autotrace you need to make sure there aren't any spurious paths left over, of which there were a couple of dozen (all adding to the filesize for no benefit). Likewise you also need to make sure that everything that should be transparent is actually transparent. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 18:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Missing wording (quick fix)
Article(s): Maine Request: The inscription is missing a part. There should be "MAINE" arched around the bottom of the blue circle as you can see here.

 * Guys, could you correct the other triangular signs to use the triangles from the Narrow Road image? It looks more similar to the actual signs.  Thanks! Sn1per (talk) 20:36, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Will this do? I don't usually do charts so don't know what the usual conventions are. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:31, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you move 1998 to the left (1999 is missing) and remove commas from i don't care (as other responses)? --87.225.60.202 (talk) 14:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I've moved the 1998 to the left as requested but that makes the chart inaccurate as the relevant data points no longer synch with the dates. I've removed the quote marks. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:56, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I mean 1998 with the data.--87.225.60.202 (talk) 17:15, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * There you go, is that better? --The Pink Oboe (talk) 18:27, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. But data doesn't match the original source almost everywhere. Check numbers carefully, please. --87.225.60.202 (talk) 13:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * TBH I haven't checked, Illustrator's charting function chose where the datapoints went, not me. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 13:43, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Still doesn't match. It was wrong always, just compare values. --87.225.60.202 (talk) 14:20, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It was wrong due to me selecting the "edge to edge" parameter, it skewed the datapoints. I've now redone it from scratch. All the datapoints are now correct. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:24, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Bars doesn't match the answers varians. And 2000 is right after 1998 again. --87.225.60.202 (talk) 14:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes you are correct, 200 is directly after 1998 because this is a chart, not a calendar. There was no data for 1999 so therefore no entry on the chart. And yes the figures do match. I'm also done with this, it's taking up too much of my time as it is. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:47, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Orange bar shows "It would be nice to implement, but within reasonable limits", not "Difficult to answer" as legend says. The same with every other bar except red one which is right. Don't do --87.225.60.202 (talk) 14:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The data was right, the legend was wrong, I've corrected it. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 15:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
