Center Lane Left Turn Only text sign

Would somebody good with geometry/math/text be willing to recreate the text on the sign seen in this source? Please? -- Gohkenytp926 (talk) 23:51, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using this for? The text-only center-lane left-turn only sign isn't specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, that sign is a graphic like this. Is it for a country outside of North America? If so, which one? DeVos Max (talk) 21:34, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That source image is a bit suspicious, not centered, doesn't match the sign aspect ratio of any English-speaking country I can find, etc. Nonetheless, I converted it into a SVG. The font I used is Highway Gothic. Wikipedia absolutely refuses to let me upload this file for whatever reason, so while I work on trying to resolve that issue, here's an external link to the file I created.DeVos Max (talk) 22:35, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @DeVos Max: here is an official figure (but the left turn is illustrated):  
The traffic sign is for sale here as only text and here with Left turn being an illustration. more links present [1][2]. VScode fanboy (talk) 08:48, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's used in the 1971 edition of the MUTCD. Also I'd like it to be on this site, fair and square. That's why I'm requesting it. Gohkenytp926 (talk) 21:31, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with Wikipedia's uploading seems to have resolved itself. I have added the file above. Please mark this request as complete if you are satisfied, otherwise let me know what you want to see changed. DeVosMax [ contribs • talk • created media ] 00:05, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 
English logo of Disney's Stitch! anime

Stitch!
Request
Please convert the official English logo of this anime TV series to SVG. This logo was found on Disney+ earlier this year. The drop shadow is not necessary; it was likely added for Disney+. –WPA (talk) 17:19, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I think what you're describing violates WP:FREER. I say this *after* having gone through the labor-intensive process of creating an SVG version of this logo. Even though significantly more complex files have been uploaded under Threshold of Originality justification, I can't with in good faith claim this logo is made only of "simple geometric shapes". As for trying to find an authentic SVG file, I haven't had any success yet, but I'll keep looking. DeVosMax [ contribs • talk • created media ] 08:38, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adjustments needed for the Seal of the Marshall Islands

  •  
    Seal of the Marshall Islands
Request
Could someone fix a few issues with the Seal of the Marshall Islands over on Commons? I listed items that require revisions on the cleanup template there: "Letters in motto are not the same size or on the same curvature (the "KE" is also not centered), bronze border is not symmetrical (the ribbon that says "seal" is also not centered), and some lines appear inconsistent (such as the boat or rays emanating from the angel) or have gaps (such as the land on the lower-left)". -- HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 19:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion
I think we've got a problem on our hands. It seems that the embassy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands has claimed this user-created seal to be their official seal? Take a look. They even are going so far as to protect it with the threat of legal repercussions even though its been released under public domain?

"Protection of the Seal: A person who uses the seal or a representation of it, or anything that so resembles the seal as to be calculated to deceive or advertise or promote any commercial purposes, or for any purpose whatsoever without the permission of the Cabinet, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not less than $500 and no more than $2,500, a term of imprisonment of not less that 6 months nor more than one year or both. Each individual use of the seal shall be considered a separate offense."

I went to google to try to find the official seal for reference only to realize that this has become the official seal. What do we do from here? Obviously I'm not going to perform the requested clean-up, since it is impossible to more accurately represent the "official" seal than this.DeVosMax [ contribs • talk • created media ] 03:15, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DeVos Max: After doing some research it appears that the seal is official and was created prior to the existence of Wikipedia, as seen in the Republic of the Marshall Islands Seal Act of 1992, and that the SVG was just based off of the pre-existing seal. It can also be seen on a page of Charles Sturt University in Australia, which was last updated in 2005. Also, the Marshall Islands falls under the umbrella of countries not participating in the Berne Convention or Universal Copyright Convention per U.S. Circ. 38a (see here). I'll also @Ericmetro as the creator of the file. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 15:24, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pure SVG Farmaco senza obbligo di ricetta (Italian logo for pharmaceutical drugs)

Request
I asked first this problem at Commons, but got it archived without being solved. I would like a pure SVG (possible plain text) of the first image; it should look like the second (PNG) but what I was able to get is the third image (no text). Could you please help me? Thanks.-- Carnby (talk) 05:39, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion
@Carnby: Unfortunately textPath is not supported. I uploaded a new version of Farmaco senza obbligo di ricetta (Italia).svg, which should match more closely, is about 10 kB smaller, and has invisible textPath text to make it easier to edit. TilmannR (talk) 14:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TillmannR: Thank you: is it possible to (speedy) delete the two proof version I uploaded leaving only Farmaco senza obbligo di ricetta (Italia).svg? Besides, the 120px-thumbnail seems to show the previous version.--Carnby (talk) 04:41, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Carnby: Yes, it's possible: You can read about speedy deletion here. Criterion G7 allows the author or uploader of a file to speedy delete it, if it's less than one week old. You just have to add {{SD|G7}} to the file's page.
When a thumbnail shows an old version, you should first try to reload the page while telling your browser not to use its cache. (In my browser that's on Ctrl + F5.) If that doesn't help, then Wikimedia's servers might just need a couple minutes to render new versions of the file. In my experience it's never a permanent problem.

Italian coa

Huge number of images
Request
Hello, if it were possible I think it would be good to make new versions of these badges on the model of those already made. I think you need to use the Inkscape application, but I'm not familiar with that. For any clarification I am available
Discussion
Just for future reference, I would recommend not putting so many images into a request at once. A bot clears out stale requests every so often, and the volume here basically makes it impossible to complete in a timely fashion, as well as track which have been completed and what has priority. 47.19.150.58 (talk) 15:50, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These coats of arms and flags have been on the internet for a very long time and nobody to my knowledge has ever taken a crack at vectorizing them, would be mighty nice and helpful for any projects if someone tidied them up. -- NorthTension (talk) 19:57, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request circuit map for full circuit at Ozarks International Raceway

Bottom image at [2]

Ozarks International Raceway
Request
I request an image of the primary "full" circuit (both inner and outer circuits) in black. A comparable image would be File:Road America.svg. This is a new racing circuit with unnamed corners. I don't know the north arrow direction, the direction that the cars travel, the turn numbers, etc. The image would include the two connecting roads in the upper right in a lighter gray as the Road America image does. The shortcut through the hairpin turn near the center image would also be the same lighter gray. Similar to the second last image from the source but the 4 colored sections would be gray. -- Royalbroil 03:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Flag image requests

I have NO such design skills, or I'd do it myself. I have two flag requests:

  1. Alvarado/lone star flag of California
  2. Flag of the 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial

1. Here is some info for the Alvarado/lone star flag of California, which merely consisted of a single red star on a white background:

  • Talk:Flag_of_California#Request_for_image:_Alvarado/lone_star_flag
  • "Flags Over California: A History Guide" (PDF). California State Military Museum. State of California, Military Department. 2002. p. 2. Retrieved 2022-03-09. Except for a few brief months in late 1836 and early 1837, when a lone red star flag on a white background was raised in recognition of the efforts of Juan Bautista Alvarado and Isaac Graham's capture of Monterey from the Mexican government...

2. Here is some images of the flag of the 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial:
