Vectorise please, many thanks. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 02:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is the vector graphic I've added to the gallery accurate enough to use as a basis? NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 18:06, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@User:TRAJAN 117: I based the 1889-1912 flag on the file: File:Dragonflag.jpg. Sodacan (talk) 14:59, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And the 1862-1889 flag on this photo: Flag from 'Fuzhou China Shipping Culture Museum' Sodacan (talk) 15:04, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sodacan:, I do not believe that your vectorization of the the 1889-1912 flag is based on a reliable source. Look at e. g. [1], it shows the flag we already have. I found the image of File:Dragonflag.jpg also as File:Personal standard of State Chief Bao Dai.png, where I know that it is outrightly wrong, as the correct flag of Bao Dai is different [2] (image is based on books I have at home).

At the moment, I think the SVG should not be used. Another topic: The colors, shouldn't we use the yellow of File:Flag_of_the_Qing_dynasty_(1889-1912).svg?--Antemister (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sodacan: Many thanks for vectorising these flags, as I completely forgot about them! However, I noticed that the dragon scales are missing on the first two flags, just wondering if you could perhaps correct this, many thanks. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 15:02, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi, if anyone fancies doing it, I would like to request a version of this graphic that also shows the actual percentages of votes cast for each of the parties in the 2015 general election. I am envisaging that this could be done using some kind of colour-coded graphical symbol -- one that can be distinguished from the dots representing the polls -- placed at the extreme right of the existing graphic. There would also need to be a way of explaining the meaning in the caption (see existing caption at e.g. Opinion polling for the 2015 United Kingdom general election#Graphical summary). The actual numbers of votes cast for each of the parties are available here. The colour-coding used in the graphic is explained in the above-linked caption. BTW, I mentioned this request to the creator of the image, but no response.

Flag of Angola, President of Angola

Request

Could someone perhaps draw a vector image of the presidential standard of Angola please, many thanks. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 15:11, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

It appears the center machete, star and cogwheel are the same as from the Flag of Angola. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:18, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would any of these wreaths be suitable? If so, it'd be trivial to recolour it gold and put the pieces together. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 19:36, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've put an example wreath on an SVG. It can always be changed later. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 14:35, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@NikNaks: Although one should not be that strict with african flags, I believe File:Coat of Arms of the People's Republic of Congo.svg has a better one for that flag.--Antemister (talk) 20:37, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I tried fiddling with that wreath and coloured it as with the FOTW source, but I'm not convinced by it, really! You can mess around with it if you want to try to get it looking better. I'm not really sure what to try... NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 12:44, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I might be able to try an alternate style of wreath as well this afternoon, to see how everyone feels. Fry1989 ^eh? 16:42, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah my try didn't turn out so good :( I think it would be important to get it to look ore like the image in FOTW though. Fry1989 ^eh? 22:25, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but the image on FOTW is too small to be able to trace it and have it look half decent. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 11:35, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to everyone for the help so far :) TRAJAN 117 (talk) 08:45, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
