Emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola[edit]
-
Flag of UNITA
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)
- I made some progress in Inkscape (not the full emblem though)

Coats of arms of Venlo in the Belgium period[edit]
-
The coats of arms in the Belgium period. I need a vectorised file/version of this coats of arms.

For example the coats of arms of Venlo in 1819, which is a little bit different.
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)
- 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)

- @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)
- @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)
- @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)

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:
- Creating an SVG version of the sketches and uploading it
- 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)

This is a tracing and could be redone, but it's a good tracing and I don't think that's necessary. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Snow Lion Fenian: 1) Is the heron wearing a little hat?? 2) Is that water around its legs or a coiled serpent at its feet? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @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)
Revectorization of File:National_Emblem_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China_(2).svg[edit]
-
This file differs significantly from the reference file I provided and needs to be redrawn.
-
Related file, also needs to be redrawn.
-
This is a copy of the gypsum photo of the Chinese national emblem displayed on the day of its publication in a journal.
-
This is a copy of the grid ink line drawing of the Chinese national emblem displayed on the day of its publication in a journal.
-
This is a copy of the vertical cross-section drawing of the Chinese national emblem displayed on the day of its publication in a journal.
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.

File to be improved
Article(s):
- Request
- 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)
