I'll have a go, in the mean time, could you try and find out the text at the bottom f the emblem.

::::The scroll at the bottom contains the national [[motto]] in [[Urdu]], coined by [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]], which reads from right to left: ([[Urdu]]: <big>ایمان ، اتحاد ، نظم</big> ) ''Iman, Ittehad, Nazm'' translated as "[[Wiktionary:Faith|Faith]], [[Wiktionary:Unity|Unity]], [[Wiktionary:Discipline|Discipline]]".

I updated a little further. -- [[User:Kaboom88|Kaboom88]] 12:37, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

:I've just added the wreath, added a stroke to part of the bottom part of the emblem, added fill to the ends of the bottom part. However the wreath may need to be cleaned up a bit because parts of it are auto-tracing. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">&#9876;</span> 11:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll take a look at doing the sheaf and cleaning up the wreath a bit. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 12:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

:Well, I ended up re-doing the calligraphy to match the style on the coat of arms better, and the best I could do with the sheaf was an auto-trace. If someone here can do better, feel free! As for the wreath, I just went around executing nodes at random, but didn't find a way to improve it radically. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 15:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again everyone. I just substituted all instances of the old image, and updated the image decription page with the deprecated image redirect template. There is still one article listed as using the old file, but I just can't figure out why. I have purged both the Article, the template the image was transcluded from, but it is still there. Oh, well, the other 100+ are substituted. If any of you can see what I missed, please leave me a note on [[User talk:Jerry|my talk page]].

'''Request:''' SVGify both (Should be pretty easy) [[User:68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] 23:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

::Not as easy as I thought. This is my best shot. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 15:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:::I tried changing the images to use embedded bitmaps, since the traced versions weren't scaling down very nicely, but it doesn't seem to have been much of an improvement. I think the motif would really need to be redrawn by hand. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 20:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

::If we're going to re-draw, we really should get an authentic copy to work from. For example, I'm not sure how much of the roughness of the shading on the motif is necessary.--[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 06:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

:::According to [http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/it_ftt.html FotW], it doesn't have to be anything beyond a shape! [[User:68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] 19:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

::Okay, I did a version with the emblem on the shield. Any good?. Also, I had a problem getting the right 'fork' to blend into the middle bit, Could someone else help? --[[User:DTR|Dave the Rave (DTR)]]<small>[[User_talk:DTR|talk]]</small> 21:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

If you meant the section of arc that is showing through, I sorted that. As for the colour change, I don't know whether that's an issue. Nice drawing, BTW. (or are my standards just low? I liked the battleship blur as well 8-P )--[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 09:45, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:I just noticed that where the right arc met the main pole there was the 'light colour' instead of the 'dark colour'. I tried to find a way to add this in, but it was awkward (esp. without blur). And the battle ship 'blur' was me being lazy :-). --[[User:DTR|Dave the Rave (DTR)]]<small>[[User_talk:DTR|talk]]</small> 10:09, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Looks nice... if noone has any future changes they want to make, I'll mark the PNGs as superseded. [[User:68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] 02:59, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

'''Request:''' correct for perspective (as [[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] did with the Argentine flags, using http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/perspective/en.shtml or somehow) and lighten coloration. It's close, but not exactly right. Even if it needs to be made from a photo into a graphic. -- [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 07:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:''' It looks like I'm the official "can't do guy" today, but this one is harder to correct for perspective than a flag, as it is unclear what the correct perspective would be. Do you have even a poor-quality image with the correct perspective to compare it with? If not, maybe you could make a sketch indicating what the correct perspective would be? --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 09:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

:I also tried it with [[hugin]], but couldn't get it to correct it, so I went to [[GIMP]] and did it manually, I also corrected the lighting, but to be honest, the lighting wasn't that bad to begin with so it didn't make so much of a difference. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">&#9876;</span> 12:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Well done on the perspective. The text to my untrained eye seems to say "Boy scouts India". --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 15:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Good? <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">&#9876;</span> 18:05, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

:That is _great_, Rugby, (both the perspective one and the svg) and both faithful to the original badge and to the geography itself. I goofed around with a subcontinent map, there are very few differences, you may or may not want to tweak the India shape. The text is actually ALL CAPS, and does indeed read '''BOY SCOUTS INDIA'''. The stars on the fleur-de-lis are actually hollow, and could be either khaki-tan like the base cloth, or gold like the scroll, I have seen both. Thanks, this is beautiful!

::ps-once there, the green should be deeper and the red a bit more primary. Thanks again! [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 02:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:::I uploaded over Rugby's, because of the non free thing(feel free to revert), the text got lost but I tweaked it so it will be easy for him to finish up if he likes my version. Think of this as a hit and run improvement. Cheers—[[User:Cronholm144|Cronholm]]^{[[User talk:Cronholm144|144]]} 05:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Changed colours and the text wouldn't display because it was a text on a path, mediawiki doesn't support that (among other things..) and so you have to convert it to path.

:Gentlemen (Cronholm thank you also for your drivebys, you two are anchors!)

*Can the emblem be moved ''sukoshi'' up on the map image? It seems like more of the bottom peninsula sticks out at the bottom. I would estimate it needs moved only about the height of one of the stars on the badge, so the whole is a little more centered top-to-bottom on the map.

<s>*Can you dial back the green two shades lighter? It should be about the depth of the donation thermometer presently displayed at the top of all pages for the fund-drive.</s>

<s>*Can you replace the text '''BOY SCOUTS INDIA''', or does that really need to wait until the end?</s>

*There's a little blip that looks like an island on the west side. It's not really there. My map was crude. Can it be removed?

:: There is also the pdf map of the whole london Midland network. Could this also be improved. It is not yet being used in an article. Thanks, [[User:Dewarw|Dewarw]] 16:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

'''Info''' They are rail network maps, so the names along the lines are station names. Could you indicate with a - where the stops are. Thanks, [[User:Dewarw|Dewarw]] 19:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, you have done a great job! Could you add dashes where the stations are? This would clarify the map. And then the same again for the pdf. [[User:Dewarw|Dewarw]] 20:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

'''Colours''' Could you do the following to the colours:

City map:

*Birmingham to Hereford, Birmingham to Lemington, Birmingham to Stratford -''Lime Green''

*Birmingham to Northampton -''Orange''

*B'ham to Redditch and B'ham to Lichfield -''Red''

*B'ham to Shrewsbury -''Purple''

*B'ham to Stafford and B'ham to Rugely - ''Blue''

Express Map:

*B'ham to Liverpool - ''Green''

*London to Bham and Crewe - ''Red''

These colours are the ones that are on other rail maps of the network. [[User:Dewarw|Dewarw]] 20:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
