:::I gave it a shot, but there's still some weird problems with it. Fonts overlap each other on small versions of the image.

::::If you have a version which looks fine in your editor then upload that version. If you get font issues in MediaWiki then convert the text to paths and reupload it above the old version with a comment like ''"Text converted to paths, use previous version for derivatives and updates/improvements"''. As long as a pure text version exists it's not a problem if the one we view uses paths instead. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 14:07, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''
Vectorized. I hope you like it. --[[User:Kamangir1214|Kamangir1214]] ([[User talk:Kamangir1214|talk]]) 00:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 
: Kamangir1214, it's nice that you're carrying out these requests. However, I really don't think it's worth making SVG versions if they're just traces of the original. In most cases, the result is no cleaner and no more useful, and the file size is significantly larger than it would be if it were done properly. Vector images can often be more useful than bitmap images, but I would say it's preferable to have an original bitmap graphic, than a dumb computerised tracing of it.
:: I've redone this one, by hand. It's not a particularly great work of art, but notice that the result is a lot cleaner, and - to a certain extent, the image is made up of separate components that can be easily modified. The file size is also a lot smaller. These are some of the siginificant advantages that vector graphics can often allow.

'''Graphist opinion:''' I've desaturated the background a little bit, and made his face lighter. Is this better or does it need more work? [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 15:32, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
:That's quite wonderful actually. Thank you!
