@Snow Lion Fenian: Request taken. for design 3, despite SVG transformations being a pain in the ass. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 13:06, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Snow Lion Fenian: Done but I need author and copyright/licensing information before I upload. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 13:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Preferably just edit my Commons sandbox with the information and ping me afterwards. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 14:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @QuickQuokka: Thank you, and sorry for the delay in responding. Well, all three designs originate from BBC Derby. According to the original website, the designer of the original concept was Leon Summers, with BBC Derby modifying his submission to create what was known as "Design 3". Which is also exactly what BBC Derby did with Martin Enright's submission, modifying it to create "Design 1" (which was of course chosen as Derbyshire's flag). Hence, I'd recommend giving the new file the same CR tag as "Design 1". Hope this helps. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Snow Lion Fenian: The description page of the file says it's released to the public domain by the author, and supposedly also the author (I don't really believe the uploader is the author), but there's no source to verify that unfortunately. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 16:25, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- @QuickQuokka: Good point, and profuse apologies for the excessively long delay in getting back to you. Well, I certainly don't pretend to be an expert on CR licenses on Wikipedia. The impression I've gotten is that the uploader wanted to waive their rights to the file, but went about it the wrong way, resulting in using a license that creates a slight bit of confusion. After considering it all, I'd now recommend giving the new file the "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported", in order to cover the same bases while making it clear that the uploader is not the original designer. Hope this helps. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

- @Snow Lion Fenian: Now looking at it after having uploaded it, I see I accidentally used the wrong flower design. Should I fix this? QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 10:04, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- @QuickQuokka: Oh yes, if you think you can correct the flower, then don't let me stop you. But no pressure if you can't. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 14:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

- Hi, I know this seems big but it does use some simple elements so it won't so long. I was wondering if someone (it can be more than one user) can kindly please vectorize the flags and logos of the Albanian, Austrian, Brazilian, Canadian and Chilean Olympic Committees? Almost all of these are shown on the "Flags of the World" website and are found in the following links. Albanian National Olympic Committee https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/[email protected]#for, Austrian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/[email protected], Brazilian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/[email protected], Canadian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/[email protected] and Croatian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/[email protected]. The exception is the Chilean Olympic Committee but that is just the logo (which is already on Commons) placed in the middle of the middle of a white background. This request is already big enough as it is so I won't spent too long explaining though the empty files help with what flags and logos need to be done and the links show what they look like. I an happy to provide further explanation if needed. This request is to celebrate the Olympic Games which starts today. Thanks in advance!--78.152.240.245 (talk) 22:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Request for the creation of a Straits Settlements Flag, Civil Ensign and the Governor's Flags from 1874 to 1904.

This is the British crown (St. Edward's Crown) from Queen Victoria's time and can be used on the flags.

The Straits Settlements flag from 1874 to 1904 is the same as this version, except for the three crowns. I suggest using this SVG as a base for the 1874 to 1904 flag, just replace all three crowns with the St. Edward's Crowns.

The Straits Settlements civil ensign from 1874 to 1904 is the same as this version, except for the three crowns. I suggest using this SVG as a base for the 1874 to 1904 civil ensign, just replace all three crowns with the St. Edward's Crowns.
