Cecil Meares' sledge flag

Article(s): Cecil Meares, List of Antarctic flags

Request: Okay, if it's possible, could someone please create an SVG file of the sledge flag used by Cecil Meares in Antarctica during the 1910–1913 Terra Nova Expedition, as seen here? Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 20:13, 16 February 2025 (UTC) Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 04:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): @Valeegori: Nicely done, thank you! Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:40, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree I do not think it's done. the flag's colors looks off. The white should be 100% white. The flag needs to be cropped and the emblem could use a little more detail. I'm not saying it was traced because it clearly isn't, but it does lack some quality. I think there are still improvements to be made before this section can be resolved.

@Feitidede: That's fair. Thank you for bringing those up. How would you feel about handling at least some of those issues? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look at it. Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 02:48, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request: If possible, could somebody please create SVG files for the three sledge flags used by Captain Scott throughout both the Discovery Expedition (1901–1904) and Terra Nova Expedition (1910–1913) in Antarctica, including:

1) His sledge flag during the Discovery Expedition, based on this PNG version here.

2) His primary sledge flag during the Terra Nova Expedition, as seen here (very similar to the Discovery version, but still with many noticeable differences).

3) His second sledge flag during the Terra Nova Expedition, as seen and described (if you click on the picture's caption) here.

Hi! The first four original files are fine as is and don’t need any kind of modifications. The fifth and sixth ones should be modified to have the dimensions and colors of their original counterparts. A seventh and eighth one should be made also matching their original counterparts, just with the white borders added. Additionally, hopefully the dimensions of the white borders for the last four icons can also be modified based on the "Station signage” section on this website. Hopefully this all makes sense; I can provide additional clarification if needed. Thank you! --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 20:12, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Animation of Lobe Switching

An animated illustration of conical scanning
A static illustration of lobe switching from above

Article(s): en:Lobe switching

Request: An animated GIF of lobe switching. I created a storyboard to illustrate the different parts of the animation. (Note that there can be more than just four frames.) I believe I have an adequate understanding of the principle involved, but if someone with more expertise sees something wrong, please feel free make a correction.

It would be similar in concept to a animation of conical scanning, but only switching between two positions horizontally rather than a circular pattern and with two fluctuating points on the oscilliscope. An example of what a radar scope would look like can be found on HyperWar. See also a GIF of the principle of a VOR a related idea and a previous request for an animated interrupter gear for another example of a step-by-step illustration. –Noha307 (talk) 01:51, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vectorise the coat of arms of Hải Dương, French Indo-China

Coat of arms of Hải Dương.
Requested file (Hải Dương).

Requested file (Hải Dương).

Article(s): [[]], various articles related to the French domination period of this city and of Viet-Nam in general.

Request

I would like to request the vectorisation of the coats of arms of the city of Hải Dương during the French domination period in the history of the Nguyễn Dynasty.

Addendum, The colour scheme of the Hải Dương municipal coat of arms is consistent as other examples are found here (note that some of the images on the shield are also more visible on it there). I have imported all of these images to the Wikimedia Commons, so here are more general duty (revenue tax) stamps of the French Tonkinese city of Hải-Dương to show more details of the 4 (four) images within the heraldic shield:

5 cents general duty stamp (blue background) - Hải Dương (1930) Society of Indo-China Philatelists.
5 cents general duty stamp (pink background) - Hải Dương (1930) Society of Indo-China Philatelists.
10 cents general duty stamp (yellow background) - Hải Dương (1930) Society of Indo-China Philatelists.

Several of the elements found in this coat of arms are similar to the coats of arms of other French Tonkinese cities, for example the mural crown 👑 element is consistent with the Hanoian and Haiphongese coats of arms, though the colour scheme is slightly more intricate.

Similar coats of arms

Coat of arms of Hanoi.
Coat of arms of Hải Phòng.

Rusian translation of Minard's chart of the Russia Campaign, 1812

Request: Can someone have a look at and correct the Russian text of File:Графическая_карта_русской_кампании_1812_года_Шарля_Минара.svg? It is a vector version of the chart drawn by Charles Minard of the losses of the French Army during Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, but the translation was not done by a native Russian-speaker. It is a translation of a 19th century chart and so ideally it should follow pre-reform spellings, as if it had been written at the time.

Alternate US Coat of Arms Request

Reference style – this is the aesthetic I want to match.
My own generated attempt at a pine branch (needs more polish to match the standard).

My own generated attempt at a pine branch (needs more polish to match the standard).

Article(s): (for general vector assets), or potentially a future article on Technocratic heraldry elements.

Request: I’m designing a coat of arms in a heraldic style inspired by North American symbolism, and I’m requesting two vector images that match the polished style found in Wikimedia heraldry files:

**An Eastern White Pine branch** — stylized as if it could be held in an eagle’s claw (symmetrical, pine needles in bundles of five if possible).
**A stylized gear** — preferably a silver or grey cogwheel, shaded and highlighted in a manner consistent with other heraldic metallics (like helmets or crowns).

Both should be designed to fit seamlessly into a coat of arms or great seal, matching the visual language of works like the Great Seal of the U.S. or coats of arms on Wikimedia Commons. These assets would be useful for anyone interested in modern heraldic symbolism incorporating nature and technology.

Inkscape has issues. Standard SVG does not permit g elements within clipPath elements, but Inkscape uses that construct. For example, your file has

    <clipPath clipPathUnits="userSpaceOnUse" id="clipPath40">
      <g id="g41">
        <path d="m 172.057,161.339 h 92.5986 v 71.332 H 172.057 Z" id="path40" />

Branding of Smile

The/Beach Boys/SMiLE (square)

Article: Smile (The Beach Boys album)

Request: SVGs of the word branding of the unfinished studio album by rock band the Beach Boys. I request several variants of this branding for best convenience. Firstly, I'd like two orientations of both the album title and band name: the original horizontal presentation (SMiLE • The Beach Boys) and one in a square position (The/Beach Boys/SMiLE), since the former would be too wide for use in an article. Furthermore, I'd also like separate variants of these two names, including the orientations of the band name. That makes five SVGs total, if you don't mind.; Lastly, I want to emphasize preserving the original colors of the branding. Here's a HQ image of the album cover with branding; and here's a different yet fair use image with more accurate colors. Good luck! Carlinal (talk) 06:27, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General feature/tool request

Is there a bot or automated process (or even a one-click, rather than fully automated) that can extract the actual raster image wrapped in a {{FakeSVG}} and upload it as its native format? I'm thinking something along the lines of the bots that handle en:Template:Non-free reduce-tagged images on enwiki, or User:SteinsplitterBot that handles Template:Rotate here on commons. DMacks (talk) 17:02, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See COM:VPP#Proposal to convert Fake SVG to timed deletion template.

For reasons stated there and elsewhere, I believe reuploading the SVG as a bitmap file is counterproductive.

Most of the files in Category:Fake SVG could be reasonable vector format files.

Thanks. My focus is on technical chemistry diagrams, where naive vectorization often gives mediocre or poor results (and especially in subtle ways that a non-science graphic-artist might not recognize). They should really be redrawn from scratch using a drawing package that knows chemistry style-guides, as SVG or as high-quality PNG. If it were to be zero-effort, unwrapping the SVG-enclosed raster might actually reveal a great PNG, or at least not fool editors into thinking there actually was actually an SVG available when searching for files. But if it's not zero-effort, as that discussion notes, the fake-SVG can just persist and be re-used with no visual problem. This is more from a commons-centric curration effort, where several editors actually do have time+ability+desire to do these tasks, but would rather spend time where it will have the greatest impact. DMacks (talk) 21:02, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. I just spent some time fixing the chemistry drawing File:AX5E1-2D.svg. It was done in Inkscape and used complicated pattern transforms. Glrx (talk) 21:33, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. Those wedged and hashed-wedged shapes and their overall lengths and relative positions radiating off the center are defaults or one-click standard options in any chemistry drawing program and many even have a template for that entire image with the exception of the text letters. Took me less than a minute to create it in ChemDraw. Buuuuuut... my version of ChemDraw can only export raster not SVG (new $$$$ versions and other programs might be able to). Luckily, CHEM MOS does bless high-res PNG that I can do, even though SVG is even better. DMacks (talk) 22:47, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's too bad about ChemDraw not exporting SVG. Glrx (talk) 23:28, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Vectorization of Historic Coat of Arms: House of Esparza

Coat of arms of Lope Ruiz de Esparza

Article(s): en:Lope Ruiz de Esparza

Request

I would like to request a high-quality SVG vectorization of the historic coat of arms of the House of Esparza, based on heraldic records from Spanish nobility registries.

The current depiction on Commons (if it exists) is either outdated, low-resolution, or lacking heraldic detail. I have provided the original arms description for the blazon below.

Blazon (heraldic description): Or, a wolf statant sable at the foot of an oak tree vert.

Field (Escutcheon Background):
- Tincture: Or (gold).
- Rendered in a rich, traditional heraldic gold. It should have texture and depth
Charge 1 – The Wolf:
- Attitude: Statant (standing on all four legs, facing dexter [heraldic right]).
- Tincture: Sable (black).
- The wolf should be stylized but naturalistic
Charge 2 – The Oak Tree:
- Position: Centered above the wolf, rooted to the ground line.
- Tincture: Vert (green).
- Trunk may be in brown (proper), unless a purer heraldic green is preferred.
- The tree must be recognizably an oak: sturdy trunk, wide canopy, and visible roots or base flare.
Ground or Support (if included):
- A thin base line (compartment) in natural earth tones may be added to ground the wolf and the oak if the style allows. Otherwise, the charges may float within the field, as is traditional in Iberian arms.

Style Requested: Please follow the style typically used in the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Spain, or the standard heraldic style used in official Spanish armorials.

This redesign is for encyclopedic and historical purposes, and I hope it may benefit Wikipedia articles on related noble families or municipalities. --Euhistoryprofessor (talk) 14:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I've made an attempt at implementing your request. I'm happy to tweak the colors or use different renderings of the charges if you have suggestions. I decided to make the trunk green for better contrast with the wolf and to more clearly match the blazon and Escudo de Ruiz de Esparza.png, at least for my first draft. I'm not sure what you think of as a 'rich, traditional heraldic gold' – does a warm yellow do the trick, or do you need a metallic gradient? —Ilzolende (talk) 21:30, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Would someone be willing to convert the PNG black and white royal badge and coat of arms to SVG versions? Their full color SVG versions are linked. The Welsh badge will need one each with the different crowns. The Scottish full color SVG is not exactly the same as the black and white one which appears on acts, some elements and spacing are different, but a black and white version of the color SVG would be perfectly acceptable! --Penguin1737 (talk) 01:02, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
