Line 1: =Stale= == Sesame Street and Istockphoto logos == {{stale\|1=[[User:FOX 52\|FOX 52]] ([[User talk:FOX 52\|talk]]) 06:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)}} <gallery> File:Sesame Street logo.jpg\|The Sesame Street sign. File:IStock LP Corporate Logo.jpg\|The Istockphoto logo. </gallery> So [[:File:Sesame Street logo.svg]] was already a SVG but it was PD-textlogo and about to be moved to Commons. [[:File:IStock LP 2014 Corporate Logo.png]] was also PD-textlogo and ready for Commons but it was a PNG. I took care of both of them, but for some reason I couldn't upload either as a SVG (the uploader changes .svg to .svg.jpg). I put them in their respective articles, but the SS logo was RV'd for being lower quality. I'd like to convert them both to SVG. [[User:Hop on Bananas\|Hop on Bananas]] ([[User talk:Hop on Bananas\|talk]]) 18:15, 27 September 2015 (UTC) Edit:Both originally had trans. backgrounds, but the uploader changed them to white. [[User:Hop on Bananas\|Hop on Bananas]] ([[User talk:Hop on Bananas\|talk]]) 18:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC) Edit 2:When I moved [[:File:This Side of Paradise dust jacket.gif]] to WC, the filetype changed from .gif to .gif.png. The file is now on WC [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:This_Side_of_Paradise_dust_jacket.gif.jpg here]. I'll tag it with the should be PNG tag (forgot the template name). Anyway, it seems like the uploader changes everything to .jpg. Is anyone else having this problem? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures\|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hop on Bananas\|Hop on Bananas]] ([[User talk:Hop on Bananas\|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hop on Bananas\|contribs]]) 22:29, 27 September 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> :It's been renamed to [[:File:This Side of Paradise dust jacket.jpg]]. '''[[User:Postdlf\|postdlf]]''' (''[[User talk:Postdlf\|talk]]'') 01:29, 28 September 2015 (UTC) So, using CommonsHelper (which I'd have used in the first place if I'd known about it back then) I uploaded a new SVG (CommonsHelper ''doesn't'' change the filename) and replaced all uses (except on this page) of [[:File:Sesame Street logo.svg]] with it. It's at [[:File:Sesame Street sign.svg]]. (CommonsHelper wouldn't let me upload the image with the same filename but a different file format as [[:File:Sesame Street logo.jpg]], so I changed the name to something else appropriate). I think we can ''delete'' both [[:File:Sesame Street logo.svg]] and [[:File:Sesame Street logo.jpg]]. [[User:Hop on Bananas\|Hop on Bananas]] ([[User talk:Hop on Bananas\|talk]]) 14:57, 12 October 2015 (UTC) Actually, we can save the JPG version on Commons since it's tagged with <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[commons:Template:Vector version available\|Vector version available]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, but we can delete the local SVG since I've replaced it with the Commons SVG everywhere it's used (except here). [[User:Hop on Bananas\|Hop on Bananas]] ([[User talk:Hop on Bananas\|talk]]) 17:38, 12 October 2015 (UTC) Edit:The local SVG has been deleted. I guess that problem is covered.

I reused the central portion of the State Department Seal with some edits (updated colors, gold border in the field of thirteen stars). The typeface is Century Schoolbook, but it appears the weight used in the actual seal is some extra-heavy weight that I don't have installed.
