The present New Zealand arms are a 1956 revision of the 1911 design. The crest was changed to the Crown of St. Edward, the quarterings were redrawn, and the supporters, instead of facing the front, now faced each other. The motto was changed to “New Zealand”.|http://www.teara.govt.nz/1966/C/CoatsOfArms/National/en}}

:::::::::So it is allowed to do a .png out of it, upload it on English language wikipedia claiming fair use - since it is non scalable contrary to .svg - , not uploading it to Commons ? Can I ask for that here ? and what about a .svg ? [[User:Hektor|Hektor]] ([[User talk:Hektor|talk]]) 18:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::Just had a thought, could this be recreated in SVG freely in the similar style a flag or COA can be? What I'm thinking is of calling this a flag as surely, its used in that style, similar to the [[:Image:Royal Standard of the United Kingdom.svg|Queen's standard]] '''[[User:Mangwanani|<
:::::::::::The differences between CoAs and this image is that CoAs are defined by a [[blazon]]. That means that a free version can be created from the blazon (not from an existing interpretation of it which is why [[:Image:Coat of Arms of Iceland.svg]] is in trouble). Simply recreating an image in svg does not delink the svg image from the copyright of the original, this is why images such as Coat of Arms of Johannesburg above are in trouble. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 12:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::: As I understand it the template <nowiki>{{SVG|fairuse}}</nowiki> is indeed a completely pointless contradiction. "...information that could be stored more efficiently and/or accurately in the SVG format". While arguably technically true, functionally nonsense. The fair use rationale stipulates that the image must be low-res. So even if you make a vector version you still have to ''render'' it in low res. The "efficiency" difference between a 30kB PNG and a 20kB SVG is negligible, and the rendering resources needed for SVG do away with that benefit. Accuracy is irrelevant, because you still have to ''deliver it to the viewer'' at low accuracy (ie. low res). Someone could download it themselves and view it in high res, but then ''they'd'' be in violation of fair use. No matter which way you slice or dice it that template is an invitation to waste your time. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 18:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::::::: That being said, I'd be most thankful if someone cares to produce a nice fair use .PNG of the standard of Prince Albert II. [[User:Hektor|Hektor]] ([[User talk:Hektor|talk]]) 18:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Find a blazon and create the image springs to mind, bearing in mind the cliché "easier said than done". The Joburg raster was uploaded by Flagmanbruce who says he is the FOTW Southern Africa administrator (for want of a better word). '''[[User:Mangwanani|<
:But thats just the thing. Coat of arms (and coat of arms like flags) have a blasoning, logos and monograms normaly don't, thus making free versions of the impossible. The Joburg raster is the same as that [http://flagspot.net/flags/za-gt-jb.html#jb here] and is thus not an "original interpretation of the blason" but rather a copyrighted interpretation from 1997. The fact that Flagmanbruce has scanned it gives him no copyrightrelated rights. Thus since the new vector version are a derivative of these they are also copyrighted by whoever created the raster. In order to create a truly free image the new one would have to based only on heraldic rules and the text:
{{quotation|ARMS: Vert, a fret couped Or, the mascle voided Gules, between in chief and base respectively four shield thongs Argent; behind the shield a spine erect Or, plumed Sable.

::Shoot, that needs translation into English. I couldn't draw anything from ''that'' description, that's for sure. [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 22:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Back to the Joburg Arms, it isn't entirely based on the raster. My trace obviously was but the rest of the work done by other users was an interpretation of the raster... '''[[User:Mangwanani|<
:I know it isn't entirely based on the raster (let's call it the "official interpretation") but both the trace and iterpretations of the "official interpretation" are processes which create works that are derivatives of the "official interpretation", and those covered by it's copyright. As an example if you watch all of the Star Wars movies and then draw a free hand sketch of the Millenium Falcon then that is stil a derivative of the copyrighted movies.
:What's needed in order to make the image free is basically that you completely forget about the "official interpretation" and do a new image based on the blazon only. As for the blazonings being written in code I wholehartedly agree, it's hard enough to understand them when they are written entierly in one language (swedish for the ones I've done) but the english ones always seem to contain about 50% french in them. There is a heraldic glossary somewhere on Wikipedia (lost the link) but to start I'd recommend asking one of the heraldicaly experienced editors to translate the description to plain english (e.g. [[:commons:User:SanchoPanzaXXI|SanchoPanzaXXI]]), after a while you'll start understanding the ''code''.

::::In all fairness, an interpretation on a blazoning isn't going to be too different to that image as its pretty plain and simple. Not like a COA with intricate detials... '''[[User:Mangwanani|<
:::::True, but this can only be done if the flag (and the Coat of arms) is in fact based on a blason rather then just being a logos in the shapes of Flags and CoAs.
