'''Article(s):''' A plethora of articles related to Australia, including the [[Australia]] article itself.
'''Request:''' The image is an unfinished vector version of the [[Australian coat of arms]] uploaded to commons by a user who couldn't continue working on the project. The shield partitions themselves are quite easy (they can just be taken from [[List of Australian flags#States_and_Territories|state flag]] badges), so all that needs to be done is basically just adding detail the to the shield-bearers, shrubbery, etc. to conform to actual usage, and colour fixes as demonstrated by the raster image. I've also posted this at [[Talk:Australia#Vector coat of arms]], but I'm told to expect apathy over there, there've been issues with the COA since April 2007. I have no doubt an experienced vector graphics editor would find this an easy task and it would be much appreciated. —[[User talk:Happenstance|<
:This has come up several times and every time we point out that it shouldn't be vectorized. Look at the painting and you will see that it is carefully pained with tiny strokes. An SVG would be enormous and have no purpose. --[[User:Beao|Bea]]'''[[User talk:Beao|o]]''' 17:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
::I disagree, all non-photographic information should be turned into vector images, as our guidelines currently mandate. The vast majority of national coat of arms have already been recreated as svg's despite their complexity, and this image is not even particularly detailed compared to many that are already vector files, look at [[:File:
:::Those are not as complex in the way I'm trying to explain. But I wont stop anyone from trying to vectorize if you find it useful. --[[User:Beao|Bea]]'''[[User talk:Beao|o]]''' 14:08, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
::Last time I knew "we" regularly vectorized flags, coats, etc. Certainly a well done vector is equal to or better than a raster. See, for instance, Panonkin's magnificent [[:Image:US Great Seal Reverse.svg]] (Featured image on Commons). Having said that, there was a TERRIBLE traced vector version of this that was deleted a while ago. That I know gave alot of people a bad taste for vectorizing this. I especially second this request.

'''Article(s):''' [[WP:Squash]]
'''Request:''' Create a squash (sport) barnstar for the above project please. Thanks. <
Still waiting for someone to do the barnstar. You guys might want to use some images from [[WP:Squash]]. <
:I think the reason no one has done this so far is because "squash" is such a specific thing. What would a "squash" barnstar look like? I suggest that we just have a "sports articles" barnstar ,which would do the trick, would be easier to create, and would be easier to recognize. [[User:Threecheersfornick|threecheersfornick]] ([[User talk:Threecheersfornick|talk]]) 04:18, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
::You might want to use [[:File:Squash pictogram.svg|this pictogram]] or [[:File:Squash ball.svg|this squash ball]] for the barnstar. I also suggest that you use [[:File:Resilient Barnstar.png|this silverish barnstar]] or this [[:File:GoldBarnstar.png|gold]] barnstar instead of the brownish one. <

:Yes, that looks better. Thank You. but could that bit that was added be made just a little biger? its supposed to be about double the current size? <
::Are you sure about that? I added that curvy bit by superimposing text with the same size as the text in the image. So it should be scaled correctly, I think. —[[User:Quibik|Quibik]] ([[User talk:Quibik|talk]]) 22:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

:::::The original barnstar is not vector, which is why I exported the final image as raster -- I thought having that mix of raster and vector would be weird. I think it is possible to embed the raster in the SVG, or we could use a vector barnstar if it's super important. Anyways, that was my thinking.

:::I did one too, it's sized as raster like all the other barnstars (due to the size of the original barnstar they're all based on and traditional use) at about 110-120px which is sufficent for how barnstars are used... I thought the star should be hatching from the egg... — <b>[[User:Raeky|<i

*'''Comment:''' I read that the letters in the original poster do not belong to any font type, that they were hand made by a graphic designer.
