'''Request:''' If this image were redrawn, it wouldn't have to be under the fair use license it is currently under, and would be of much better quality (back transparency, etc.) '''[[User:Alekjds|Alekjds]]''' ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Alekjds|talk]]} 01:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''

Actually, the image would retain the copyright status of the original. The design of the logo is what is copyrighted, not the file itself. Otherwise copyright on 2D images would be pointless, as you could simply redraw an exact copy. [[User:Stannered|Stannered]] 18:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

:Hmm. I didn't know that, but it makes complete sense. Of course there would still be benefit in redrawing the image in .svg, ideally, for practical reasons, if anyone would be up to it. '''[[User:Alekjds|Alekjds]]''' ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Alekjds|talk]]} 03:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

:: FYI, current consensus is that SVG conversion of fair-use non-free images should have a lower priority than the conversion of free images (of which there are hundreds waiting doing at [[:Category:Images which should be in SVG format]] and its subcategories), and that even when that's done, the SVG should contain no more detail than is necessary to render it at its current resolution. [[User:Stannered|Stannered]] 09:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

:Very well. Thank you. '''[[User:Alekjds|Alekjds]]''' ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Alekjds|talk]]} 19:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

::AFAIK, Actually it is not a matter of priority. As the template {{tl|Non-free logo}} states: ''It is believed that the use of low-resolution image...''. If such a logo is converted to SVG, the image is not low-resolution anymore, so it is not subject to fair use. [[User:Chabacano|Chabacano]] 01:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

'''Request:''' Could this be made into an svg? I tried to do it myself, but the SVG would not display for some reason. [[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]] ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Adam Cuerden|talk]]} 08:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:''' Image:Evolution_is_change_3.svg (I dug through your upload log) had deleted edits but is now a red link. Was it always red or was it deleted when it didn't work? Also, vectoring a bunch of squares shouldn't be too hard, as long as I don't have to follow the exact positioning.--[[User:HereToHelp|Here]][[User talk:HereToHelp|'''T''']][[User:HereToHelp|oHelp]] 19:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)<br /><br />

Sorry [[User:HereToHelp|oHelp]], I beat you to it, here is the SVG Version of the Image, is everything okay ?

:O.o ... Nice work here, really more appealing ! When you do such good work it is better to upload with the same name, '''on''' the old image. [[User:Yug|Yug]] [[User talk:Yug|<small><font style="color:green;">(talk)</font></small>]] 20:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

::With such drastic changes, though, there's an argument for using a different name so that the unedited version will still be available under the old name.

That sounds okay, i'll get to work on it right away !<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> 15:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay, i think i've done it. how does it look ? ( i'll convert to jpg afterwards ) <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> 15:58, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

:Could use a brightness/levels adjustment (excluding the screen, probably) to make it look white instead of gray against the new white background; I had to make a pretty severe adjustment to the 5G image when I removed the background from that. Other than that, not bad at all! —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 19:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I have made it look white. The only thing left to do is the screen, the thing is, the screen is really bad quality, it is hard to do anything with it, could you take another picture but make sure the screen looks better ? <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> 07:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks! That looks great—except, as noted, the screen. There's also [[:Image:Ipodphoto.jpg]] to work with if it helps, but I don't think it will. Not only is the coloring off but the screen is also blurry, not to mention different from the one in the pic you've been working on. While it will look fine as a 45px thumbnail, the screen will have to be improved to be shown at full size. Also, since space is limited, especially in a thumbnail, can you make the next version a tighter crop? Not ''too'' tight, but it looks to me like there's to much white border, especially on the top.--[[User:HereToHelp|Here]][[User talk:HereToHelp|'''T''']][[User:HereToHelp|oHelp]] 12:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the crop, I made the image larger so the shadow wouldn't get cut off at any point, but I forgot to crop it back. Now about the screen, what do you actually want me to do with it, should I try to find an alternative from a free picture, or try to work with the one I have ? <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talkUser talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> 08:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey guys, I don't know exactly what I'm doing here, but I'm the one who took the picture. I took more here, if they help any:

Also, I took this one. I think this is as clear as it will go. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d5/IPodPhoto4Gclear.jpg [[User:AquaStreak|AquaStreak]] 16:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

:Cheerz for those pics Aquastreak, I have pasted in the two screens (and sharpened them etc.) and made small changes to the rest of the iPod. Since there were two '''usable''' screens, I didn't know which one you'd prefer. Here is the version [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IPodphoto4G_in_progress.png] of the screen, and here is version [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/0/0a/20070528085359%21IPodphoto4G_in_progress.png] of the screen. Which one do you prefer ?
