Emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola[edit]

Article(s): en:Democratic People's Republic of Angola

Request

Hello, I'm looking to see if anyone could remake the emblem used by UNITA's rival government of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola; the emblem is the same as the middle of the one on UNITA's party emblem but with the text SOCIALISMO, NEGRITUDE, DEMOCRACIA NÃO-ALINHAMENTO.
References:

Colors should be all the same as the one on the current logo of UNITA and the rooster & sun should be the same as the colors on the flag.
Thanks a million in advance if anyone takes this request :) --NorthTension (talk) 16:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I made some progress in Inkscape (not the full emblem though)

Coats of arms of Venlo in the Belgium period[edit]

Article(s): nl:Wapen van Venlo

Request
Best,
I see that during Belgian times a coat of arms was also granted to the city of Venlo, of which there is no known image on Commons. The coat of arms can be found here in a photo of the awarded weapons diploma. Would anyone like to draw this coats of arms on an .svg file?
Yours sincerely,
--Grasmat (talk) 16:10, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I already have a jpg. file uploaded of this coat of arms, which you can find above. It's copyright free and hopefully it will help with the drawing. --Grasmat (talk) 12:39, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grasmat Just want you to know I'm working on this but it will take some time. It's complex and the source is not that good. Will be back. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:42, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en, No problem :). I know it's more complex then the other requests, so I have to be patient. --Grasmat (talk) 15:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Grasmat Hi, I want to check with you.
I see now that I started of maybe a bit to detailed so it takes a lot of time for this, sorry for that.
I want you to check this partial Draft if you think the appearance of this is fine with you? If so I will continue with the work so just let me know, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:46, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Grasmat Updated Partial Draft-2
Hi Goran tek-en, sorry for the late answer. It looks good for me. But the crown looks in the diploma yellow and not decorated with blue and red parels (but it is not very visible either). Thanks for letting me know. --Grasmat (talk) 14:23, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was looking through the Wikipedia category on vexilloids in hope of finding something, and I stumbled upon this image of a painting of the Maurya court with a flag. I was wondering if someone could vectorize the flag in the image.

SVG and split religious habits[edit]

Article(s): a lot of them!

Request
Hello. On the it.wiki's Graphics Lab we're working on converting to SVG and splitting religios habit/vestments sketches on Commons, so they can be used more easily and without scaling problems. Since it's a really long process, we would like to ask for your help taking some of that work.

More precisely, the steps are the following:

  1. Creating an SVG version of the sketches and uploading it
  2. Uploading the individual sketches on Commons

If it's possible, I would ask for coherence to make them on the style of those sketches: 1, 2, 3, since it's the one used by most of the sketches already present

Thanks a lot --Sciking (talk) 15:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fvasconcellos: 1) Yes, I do get the impression that the heron is indeed wearing a hat. 2) I'm inclined to believe that it is meant to signify water around its legs. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Article(s): w:zh:中华人民共和国国徽, [[3]], [[4]]

Request
I have just uploaded sufficiently clear bitmap materials about the Chinese national emblem when it was first released, providing assurance in image quality (600dpi/1200dpi).
This can be considered its appearance when it was first seen by the Chinese people. I hope to see a more accurate vector version.
A comparison reveals that:
Some of the three-dimensional details are inaccurately drawn, failing to reflect the proper perspective.
The wheat ring appears thicker in comparison.
The stacking order of some wheat grains is incorrect.
There are discrepancies in the depiction of Tiananmen.
The gears below Tiananmen are flat, lacking a three-dimensional layout.
The depiction of the folds at the lower end of the ribbon is incorrect, and its position and angle are inconsistent.
The path outline is too thick compared to the material I provided, resulting in lower precision.

Please correct the crown drawing in this file. Unfortunately, it is not possible to indicate one correct version, but I think that the best model will be this one, even if it is not the original flag. All the images I found show a crown with only outlines, usually black, and five rings (probably pearls) on the top. Old versions of the file show a better but imperfect crown that can be used to help. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 21:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
