:::::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.

Sorry for this late reply, but could you remove the clear edge around the flag, it makes boxing the flag look strange. --[[User:SelfQ|SelfQ]] ([[User talk:SelfQ|talk]]) 13:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, was away for a bit. I did it in Inkscape, but not automagically: I just used the bezier tool, putting control points wherever I thought they'd be needed, and then went around with the curve editing tool fitting the curve as precisely as possible. To find the inaccurate bits, I put the jpeg in front of the curve, and deleted it, then went "undo - redo" to see which parts moved. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] ([[User talk:Slashme|talk]]) 10:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

::I think this map will benefit from being turned 90 degrees counterclockwise and made bigger so that the labels aren't squished in. Lowercase labels will help too, IMO. [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 19:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Maybe something like that? [[User: auawise|<font size="2.5" color="blue">Λua∫</font>]][[User:auawise|<font color="red">Wi</font>]][[User:auawise|<font color="gray">se</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:Auawise|Operibus anteire]])</small></sup> 20:18, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
::::Yes, only I wonder if you could increase the size of the base map to as to avoid the appearance of all the text crowding it (Also it would allow writing "F.H." out) and secondly, the edges of the things like the North arrow would appear sharper and less "traced". Finally, I suspect the text should be "Jones' fleet" for the possessive. The idea of the turning it is probably a good one; if anyone later determines it would be better the original way, it should be easier to change an SVG than a GIF.

:::::Here you go. Oh and [[User: auawise|Auawise]], when making new versions of a file you may simply upload them over the previous image. This prevents Wikipedia from having a bazillion versions of one file under different names. If you're starting completely over or doing something radically different, a new file with a version number may be warranted, but for minor fixes (color changes, etc.) it's not necessary.

::::::[[:Image:Battle of Flamborough Head Map.svg]] is easily the best version. I would note that squares for ships is a little odd, but the map is so improved that I have to give it my endorsement.
