Graphist opinion(s):
Empire of Brazil
-
1853-56 Brazilian cabinet headed by Honório Carneiro Leão, Marquis of Paraná with Emperor Pedro II of Brazil at the center.
-
Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies (wife of Pedro II)'s signature
Article(s): José Paranhos, Viscount of Rio Branco and Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies
Request: Hello! In the first image: I'd like to see the letters at the top and at lower left removed. If possible, leave the image itself a little more... darker so it can contrast with the white background. Also, leave the background completely white or even translucid.
In the second image: remove the yellowish background in the signature, please. Thank you very much! Lecen (talk) 13:55, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Pardon me for asking but why was the first image uploaded above this one? It's blurry, of lower resolution and overall inferior to the one below it. At least they should be moved to different files. Regards. -- Orionist ★ talk 19:01, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, but the previous version has dark shades in both sides because the page did not fit in the scanner. If someone was capable of improving it, that would be certainly wonderful! --Lecen (talk) 22:57, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- I see. But we usually upload different file if the images are different regardless of quality. I'll upload the overwritten image as a separate file, and will see if something can be done to the shades on the sides. However, if you have access to the original printed image, you can scan it in 2 parts or more, and they can be merged into one, much better image. -- Orionist ★ talk 21:56, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- The shades don't really strike me as being the difficulty, it's a fairly straightforward fix and not an overly-noticeable problem. Personally I think the issue is that the original image has the sides cut off, whereas the current image pictures the entire cabinet. Also there's the issue of a lot of blurring on the edges (especially the right). I agree that scanning it as two separate pictures and stitching them together would be sensible, if we have access to the original printed image, - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Request: Most IPA images have transparent backgrounds, but some do not. Please give the following transparency:
76.118.227.30 (talk) 19:26, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): All of these symbols, in vector form, can be found in the PDF-manual for the LaTeX package TIPA. I'm unfamiliar with phonetics, so someone else may be more efficient in pick the right ones to replace the low resolution PNGs systematically. Jon C (talk) 08:07, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Hydrosphere's map

North American Great Lakes (part of limnosphere)

Lake Baikal (part of limnosphere)
Article(s): Hydrosphere and pt:Predefinição:Esferas da Terra
Request: Make a world map of the Hydrosphere, including talassosphere, cryosphere and limnosphere, each a different color. Luan (discussão) 16:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): This may be better suited as a request for the Map Workshop. In any case, I don't have sufficient info to know what are the extents of each of these talassosphere, limnosphere, and cryosphere. Are there a complete map for each of these that the graphists can composite? Jkwchui (talk) 09:03, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- I might have the right map for this. But I need to know if the "limnosphere" includes rivers and streams, or is it lakes only? My web search produced very little mention of this term and no definition whatsoever. Is there another word for it? I also found that "talassosphere" is often called "Oceanosphere". If you have good sources about these, I'd also suggest creating articles for them. Regards. -- Orionist ★ talk 10:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Sahara Pune Warriors logo

Article(s): Sahara Pune Warriors
Request: Do something with them so that the image becomes svg format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.79.134.87 (talk • contribs) 05:22, October 31, 2010
Graphist opinion(s): Not doable The fluttering trail behind the rider is photographic; the rider itself also has pieces which looks like (digital) brush strokes to me, both of which cannot be vectorized well. These details can be seen more clearly in the larger version. Jon C (talk) 07:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Resolved
Vostok 1 patch
Article(s): Vostok 1, Vostok programme, various others.
Request: Hi folks, could this patch please be vectorised? I think the text on the globe is supposed to read 'CCCP', and the text below reads 'Восток'. Many thanks in advance! Colds7ream (talk) 07:56, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- It definitely reads 'CCCP', this one does. -- Orionist ★ talk 11:46, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Orionist.
- Done The original image was not very good so I used the pin image linked above as a reference for colors and some details. If a difference is found in another source image I can change it in a heart beat. I hope you like the result. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 17:50, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanking you very much! That's beautiful! :-) Colds7ream (talk) 18:04, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Text position broken in thumbnails despite converting to paths
-
Brewster window, text out-of-bounds in thumbnails
Article(s): en:Brewster's angle (though currently removed as it's broken)
Request: As SVG help is no longer maintained I thought I'd ask here. I've done everything required for inkscape files as given in wp:SVG Help. If I look at the SVG in inkscape or firefox it's fine, but the text placement is broken in the thumbnails. What can I do to fix this? Thanks. ChrisHodgesUK (talk) 11:12, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Sorry, it's now fixed, converting to paths did the trick. Even after purging the thumbnails took a while to update, which is why I thought it was still broken.
I've left this request in rather than deleting it, but I don't mind if anyone wants to tidy it up (or wants me to)
Thanks
ChrisHodgesUK (talk) 11:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC) Done
Giant-Carlisle and Martin's logos
Article(s): Giant-Carlisle
Request: Requesting that these two images be converted to SVG. Thanks! SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:18, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Orionist.
- Done Extracted from their official documents. These are text logos and hence free, so I uploaded them to Commons. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 16:24, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- Great work! Thanks! SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:41, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
weird SVG thing (easy request)
Article(s): Moose, possibly others
Request: For some reason, there's a white box and a small gray line on the left of the image for no real reason. It should be removed. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 03:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Offset cap icon
-
Icon for a mushroom with an offset cap
-
Icon that was requested to be vectorized. I also added a transparent background and SVGed it.
Article(s): Lingzhi mushroom and other mushroom-related articles
Request: Vectorize it, along the same lines as the other cap icons of {{Mycomorphbox}}. 76.118.227.30 (talk) 04:43, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Vectorized, SVG, Transparent JoeGazz ▲ 21:43, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the effort, but there's two important points you have missed:
- Embedding a bitmap image inside a SVG does not make it any more vectorized than it was before. You have to recreate it in vector form, which usually means redrawing all the content (in Inkscape, for example).
- If you have altered an image on Wikimedia Commons, then upload it there (and not on enwiki) by using the derivativeFX tool.
- I guess you can at least upload the transparent-background version you created over the original PNG. —Quibik (talk) 22:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
- Done I traced Joe's image and overwritten the SVG. Jon C (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Sudanese independence referendum voting form, 2011
Article(s): Southern Sudanese independence referendum, 2011
Request: Please redraw this voting form as .SVG - it would be great if also with text written. Vearthy (talk) 03:13, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by jkwchui.
- A draft SVG is attached above, but the text is too small for me to trace. The Arabic text is currently a simple google-translate of the English text. Can an Arabic speaker please paste the text here? Jon C (talk) 03:24, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Done I've added the Arabic script to the file, also the English text needed to be in bold so I've done that too and outlined them all. It's ready for you to pick up! Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 14:40, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Wikigraphists Tag Team, whoot! Jon C (talk) 17:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- That's a great one. Thanks. Vearthy (talk) 00:02, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Kotoden IruCa
Request: Using http://www.kotoden.co.jp/publichtm/iruca/iruca-top.htm and/or http://www.kotoden.co.jp/ please pick up the dolphin mascot and vectorize. I don't care which one you choose. The dolphin is always put in cute poses and situations, and it changes about monthly. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 08:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Done Jon C (talk) 20:57, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- That is fantastic, thank you! Can you trim away some of the blank space so it displays larger?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's it, thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 06:23, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Logo for Portal:London
-
My attempt with MS Paint
-
A real City of Westminster street sign
-
Another for good measure
-
Vector version - ~~~
Article(s): Portal:London
Request: I'm hoping to revive Portal:London, and envisage a clever logo parodying City of Westminster street signs, which would head the page. The only imaging program I have isn't up to the job so I hope a Graphist can do a large .svg version along the same lines as my attempt above. I used Franklin Gothic Medium but I think something in the Univers family would be closer to the actual font. I would also like the text at the bottom to read WIKIPROJECT: LONDON rather than WIKIPROJECT OF LONDON as I have put it in the example. Thanks! Ham 19:01, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Done Jon C (talk) 19:54, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- The font's perfect, but could it please have the black border with the rounded corners, and a white rather than transparent background, as in the Paint version? Thanks. Ham 16:01, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Done Jon C (talk) 17:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Brilliant; thank you. Ham 18:25, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Done Jon C (talk) 17:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
rendering error
Article(s): Coat of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic
Request: Did I do something wrong when I uploaded it? It won't show up under all circumstances... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 07:48, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Done I checked it with SVG check on Commons. That told me that some url() had "e; inside. I edited the SVG in a text editor to remove those, then uploaded over the original file. It looks good now. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:51, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Smiling and nodding in pretended comprehension, but thank you! I don't know how to make these, or apparently properly upload svgs (this one was sent me by another Wikipedian), so thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:30, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
quick fix
Article(s): Guides Catholiques de Belgique
Request: just need the background transparent, thank you... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:41, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Done The original file was a JPG wrapped inside a SVG. I vectorized the JPG and took out the background. Jon C (talk) 04:12, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Brilliant job, thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 06:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
AGMA
Article(s): Association of Greater Manchester Authorities
Request: Vectorise and replace, please? 86.159.104.235 (talk) 13:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Orionist.
- Done I extracted the logo from a PDF on the AGMA website. The cube pyramid shape has been used for ages and there's too much prior art, including well known optical illusions. It's ineligible for copyright so I uploaded it to Commons. Regards!-- Orionist ★ talk 08:00, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Blank Wikipedia logo using new version

New Wikipedia logo

Old Wikipedia logo (blank)
-
new Wikipedia logo (blank)
Request: I was wondering if you could remove the characters from the new Wikipedia logo and upload a blank version, with no characters on the puzzle pieces. One blank Wikipedia logo exists, but using the old version. This image would be employed in the Wikipedia:Trading card game, a project to raise funds to keep Wikipedia running. Thanks! ♠TomasBat 02:08, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Done I only removed the text paths, but somehow the logo seem lighter now - maybe my eyes are tricking me? Jon C (talk) 03:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- Fixed Your eyes were not tricking you, sometimes files done with Inkscape get broken when opened/saved in Illustrator and vice versa, especially when they contain patterns, gradients or blurred areas. I had to use a text editor to remove the characters "safely". Regards! -- Orionist ★ talk 10:40, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- Gee — that was very fast! Thank's a lot guys! ♠TomasBat 16:04, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- I wish we could have used PDFs in the WikiWorld. It seems so much more robust (and powerful) than SVG. Jon C (talk)

Article(s): Inverted pyramid
Request: Please redraw as an svg P. S. Burton (talk) 22:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Done Changed the font sizes so words were big but still fit. Also, I left the words as text. I can convert them to paths if you'd prefer (paths often render better). Cheers, Makeemlighter (talk) 09:09, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- I went ahead and converted to path. It looks better now :) Makeemlighter (talk) 09:19, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Done Uploaded over the top. I can revert and upload as separate file, if desired. Makeemlighter (talk) 21:39, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I was going for a darker green, more like 009900 or the "done" checkmark. My mistake.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:42, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I can do that. Do you have a copy of the flag somewhere that I can take the color from? If you had a sample of the color, I could match it exactly. I can change it to 009900 easy enough, though, if you're sure that's the right color. Makeemlighter (talk) 13:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Everything I have is black and white, I just know they didn't use bright internet green as a flag color-it would be impossible to get a cloth that color in 1946 France.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:56, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Okay. Uploaded over the top again. It's 009900 now. Makeemlighter (talk) 20:35, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
