Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop

Shortcuts

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
- If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

Graphist opinion(s)

WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration

The existing WikiProject logo
A better handshake symbol, if the hands and fingers could be filled with the two flag designs
A great collaboration image, which would be superb if the colours of the shirts of the little people could be changed to match the flag colours
A good option which has been converted into an svg by SiBr₄
This could work well if the hands were flag-colored
This could work well if the alternating pieces were flag-colored

Article(s): WP:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration and the corresponding 2016 WikiMania Poster proposed here

Request

I am working to broaden the appeal of this wikiproject, which was discussed by Jimmy Wales in a newspaper article in January. The existing logo (above left) is very unappealing, and the project would benefit from something slightly more professional. A couple of my ideas are shown in the images above, but I am not knowledgeable enough to know what is easily achievable. Oncenawhile (talk) 01:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some more ideas from the internet are below. I can't upload these for copyright.

Oncenawhile (talk) 19:29, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

I actually made an SVG of the yin-yang emblem some time ago (now uploaded). Filling the handshake image with the flags should be relatively easy, as it is an SVG. The collaboration image will be harder, being a JPG, but probably doable by someone experienced with Photoshop or a similar raster editing program. SiBr₄ (talk) 20:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is great, thank you! I've added a couple of further ideas above. I'm concious that i'll need to get consensus from the wikiproject for whichever logo we propose. Which do you think will look the best?

Oncenawhile (talk) 08:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The figures building the puzzle globe is a great idea, and the only that is about collaboration and building the encyclopedia rather than Israeli-Palestinian peace in general. I don't have the raster editing skills to put in the flags, though some other people here, at WP:GL/PHOTO, in some of these categories, or even the image's original creator probably do.

Article(s): Al Maktoum

Request: Can someone please create a copy of this in English?… -- 84.13.123.70 (talk) 21:34, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): That requires English text. I've requested translation of the various individuals' names. Nyttend (talk) 23:18, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Prince Pedro Augusto of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

Gender Symbol

Resolved

– FOX 52 (talk) 18:30, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Symbol for Gender

Article(s): Gender

Request: Link the circles. As is, one circle is in front and the other behind. Have blue go under red at one overlap point. and over it at the other overlap point, so the circles appear, linked like links in a chain. -- Chrisrus (talk) 02:12, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

Done: And clean up of Inkscape garbage codes. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 17:04, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Mr. Sameboat

ICJ

Article(s): International Court of Justice

Request: Hello, first of all: I apologize for the writing (is automatically translated).

My request is vectorizar image of the Seal of the International Court of Justice. -- Miguu "Mexican Synarchism and Nationalist Front of Mexico=Nazism" 23:44, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): The source image is so rasterized and albeit feasible, it would either be insanely large via automatic bitmap to SVG converter or labor-intensive for manual rework into SVG. TL:DR: It isn't worth the effort. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 17:07, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request taken by FOX 52 (talk) 18:28, 7 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]

I coould swear I saw this one someplace, but can't find it. FYI: File:Tribunal Internacional de Justicia - International Court of Justice.svg which is not detailed. --21lima (talk) 14:25, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Convert black (or maybe transparent ) background to white

Article(s): BT TV
Request: Please note — I am not looking for someone to fix this but for someone to tell me how to fix it because it is a common issue.

Please also note, the logo owner provided a new version, which I have uploaded - click on the image above to see the prior version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphilbrick (talk • contribs) 14:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many people send a logo to Wikimedia for use in an article, and I process a fair number of these requests. In some cases, the the logo has a black background, which is not desired. I don't think I've seen this with a.jpg file but it occasionally happens with a.PNG file. The typical sequence is that they provide an attached file, which I download and open in IrfanView to reduce the resolution. I then upload the resulting file to Wikipedia.

See this page in upper left, to see what it should look like.

I would like to learn how to convert the black background to white. My current process is to tell the provider of the logo that there was a problem with a logo and they often provide a JPEG file, but I'd like to learn how to correct the problem myself. -- S Philbrick (Talk) 13:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

North Korean stop sign

Resolved

– FOX 52 (talk) 18:30, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The file

Article(s)

Request: Please create the Korean text on the sign, as seen in these two photos. [8] & [9]. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:51, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

Partially done: I only added the Hangul "섯" by text element instead of replicating the exact glyph shape as shown in the photos by path element. You may keep asking others to do this or I may do it myself when I have more time. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 02:16, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that is really close actually. If you want to try in the future to make it better or if someone else wants to make a try that is ice, but I'm not complaining :) Fry1989 ^eh? 16:16, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

– Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Hiroshima Flower Festival
Request: please create a new, undated png or svg, by removing the date and centering the hiragana text "ひろしま" ("Hiroshima") inside the red parallelogram… The current logo can be seen at the official website for comparison. Please someone give this a shot, the event is going on now.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 23:04, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s): Done as PNG. SiBr₄ (talk) 08:57, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]; Thank you so much, it's perfect, and timely!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms of Saint Helena

The coat of arms
The flag

Article(s)

Request: Can someone please revectorise this coat of arms? Here are some images for reference http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/images/0/08/Sthelena.jpg http://www.flagshag.com/smaller/africancoats/St._Helena_Coat_of_Arms.jpg. Also, can the shield from the coat of arms be uploaded separately and be inserted onto the Saint Helena flag? Thanks in advance. --109.77.132.136 (talk) 18:43, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

Here is a better sample to trace from St. Helena Coat of Arms -- Zazzle

Convert Cleveland Browns logo to .SVG

The current Cleveland Browns helmet logo, introduced on February 24, 2015.

Article(s): Cleveland Browns
Request: I'm requesting that File:2015 Browns helmet.png be converted to an .SVG file. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 04:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)

Maine Law Review

Article(s): Maine Law Review
Request: The logo of the periodical must be created and derived from this image. -- George Ho (talk) 16:48, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)

Senatorial logo addition

The source image
The SVG to be fixed

Article(s): Many senatorial pages.
Request: Note that the Phyrgian cap in the first image has blue trim with the word "LIBERTY" written on it. This should also be present in the SVG. Thanx. 104.229.143.192 (talk) 19:48, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)

Interference theory

Decay theory

Article(s): Decay theory#Inconsistencies
Request: A class project created Decaycorrect.jpg and File:Interferencecorrect.jpg, but the latter was deleted because an acceptable copyright license wasn't declared. As an admin, I can see the deleted file; it's the same as Decaycorrect.jpg, but the title says "If Interference Theory is Correct" and the red line is different. Instead of going from (0,100) to (12,80), it goes from (0,100) to (12,0), as the blue line does. Both of these would probably be better off as an SVG, and if we're doing that, "Is" should be capitalized in the titles. Restoring this will make the article a lot more clear; thanks! -- Beland (talk) 19:01, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
