Article(s): 101st Brigade for the Protection of the General Staff

Request
Please make a new SVG file for the insignia of the Ukrainian 101st Brigade for the Protection of the General Staff based on the design of the sleeve insignia and the modern cap badge.
The present file leaves much to be desired and is not representative of what the insignia actually looks like, in contrast to most of our comparable files for other brigades. Images of the present-day sleeve insignia in use can be seen here in full colour and low-visibility variants. (Close-up of the patch here; of the real cap-badge here.) A simplified greyscale design appears on their Facebook here. The existing coat of arms image also lacks the brickwork background. GPinkerton (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@GPinkerton: Actually, when I look at this flag image, the correct insignia should not include any brick pattern? --痛 (talk) 17:43, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@痛: Hi, that looks great! I think a flag from 2014 shouldn't override what we see in the sleeve patches themselves, especially as Ukrainian military heraldry has been revolutionized over the course of the Russo-Ukrainian War. What I was hoping to see was a more simplistic design which would be basically two-dimensional like the sleeve patch shield. Something like File:81 ОАеМБр к.svg or File:1 ОТБр.svg by Inkscape'r. The helmet looks much better now, but I'd like to see a simple shield with flatter rendering of the poleaxes and gauntlet which you have done a great job in vectorizing.

The tab was used before the 2019 wave of military unit insignia rebranding. As the 101st Brigade's patch was essentialy a proper coat of arms since 2008 it was just modified a bit recently to fit into the new unit patch scheme. In short: the tab was used pre-2019 and is dropped now. If a unit chooses a motto for itself a completely new tab with the motto may appear sometime in the future but there isn't one now. VileGecko (talk) 13:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@VileGecko: maybe it (the tab) should be removed from our images, since it's not specific to this brigade. GPinkerton (talk) 20:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@GPinkerton: I'd rather leave it with the tab or alternatively upload a separate version without the tab. While the text on the tab indeed is just "Armed Forces of Ukraine" I don't think I've ever seen any other units wearing this tab. Also should be noted that while modern motto tabs are worn immediately adjacent to the shield or even embroidered on the same piece of cloth this older 101st Brigade tab has been worn significantly higher than the main patch, an example: Файл:Федорченко Вадим Олександрович.jpg. VileGecko (talk) 11:53, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@VileGecko: to me that sounds like an argument for removing it: its appearance is misleading if the tab was/is meant to be so far from the shield and invites confusion with those units which actually do have something just above the shield (like the 24th mechanized or the 44th artillery brigade). For most brigades, just the shield alone is used and it would be good to have an equivalent file for the 101st; the tab means the whole image is larger and the shield therefore smaller and more indistinct. The whole idea is of course that the shield alone, at first glance, tells you a soldier's affiliation. I think the same rule holds good for infoboxes and the like.

  1. 1 Ok
  2. 2 Red and green are OK, but the lion would get from me #e1ed03, it would be best to recreate the original contours, but if it is impossible, this drawing can be left, only with the added tongue and tail closer to the body. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 22:31, 11 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Swiãtopôłk:
For #2 at that time the company was anglo-iranian. So, I take elements and colors from Flag of England.svg and Safavid Flag.svg. Orange color is the one for lion on flag for Safavid and Pahlavi dynasties (green and orange colors was taken from the Safavid flag, the lion design was also adapted from this same flag). If you look at the logo Bp logo1961.png, given for (1968-1984), the color is orange... Moreover, your proposed color, #e1ed03, is a
 
greenish yellow
not really appropriate. To be continued...
#4: This flag seems not to exist. The only pictures I found are only the given logo (i.e. this logo on a white background).
#5: I don't know if this flag exists or not. I've only found this logo on a same green background (often a square design), but no real flag.
If not existing, deletion will be requested for these two last flags. Please, provide a source.
En rouge (talk) 19:19, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@En rouge: I chose this non-standard color because it is present in all images (I think it's because the green underneath shows through) also the dressing of the lion seems to be cohesive [2] [3], This [4] is a link to the official PDF describing the history of the flag, it was one of my sources when I wrote the note, but I haven't opened it in a long time and since Sunday my internet is slower and the PDF won't load. There is #2 but clearly longer than in the photo of the physical flag and I think it's a graphic mistake. If you see any other differences in the PDF compared to what I've provided before, then suggest PDF, it's possible that I rushed the approvals #1. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 21:51, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Swiãtopôłk: I'll talk here about yellow color, in #2 only (but other important info still to go, about #xx later...)
You wrote that your non-standard color is present in all images, but you only link to one image (image zoomed from another, the latter full flag image more appropriate as much in context):
From you link [5] (and [6] which is part of it), you can see that zoomed lion is not the same color as in the entire flag picture. In the full image, the lion is more orang-ish (and even in the zoomed image the green is out of reality, regarding full scope image).
Here are some links to flags I found:
  • [7] first flag on top: almost yellow/orang-ish lion, but others mostly orange or brown
  • [8] (brown)
  • [9] (brown)
  • and, on Commons, Flag of Persia (1964, with fringe).jpg, Qajar Naval Ensign.svg, War Flag of Fath Ali Shah.svg,
And ere are two flags, but fake flying flags I suppose, supposedly based on flags from Commons:
I still maintain, as an argument, that in Bp logo1961.png, color yellow in fact is... orange
(and in your sample pdf file, red seems to be inappropriate for #1; this can induce suspicion about color fidelity).
Yours, En rouge (talk) 02:32, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
PS: why don't you provide all the material you have, for the graphists to have more information?
From one video I found in BP web site, for #2 I'll modify orange to a yellow one. To be continued.
@En rouge: Sorry I haven't written back in a month
#4: confirms the pdf
#5: It's a generic company flag, you can see it here. It is still necessary to add a white box and remove the black outline.
#2: The appearance of the lion is very similar on the two flags, I think it's better to recreate the original, rather than using a drawing from a modern interpretation of another flag. Greenish yellow may not have been the best idea, use a light shade whose HTML abbreviation doesn't end in 00.

Pictogram-voting question.svg Question this flag looks like an old banner of arms, but this article suggests the flag was designed by Graham Bartram (@GrahamPadruig: ). Is there any more information available? GPinkerton (talk) 21:11, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@GPinkerton: Well, from what I've gathered, the cross-impaling-the-dragon's-head is indeed part of the arms attributed to Saint Margaret of Antioch (if you go on this page here, and scroll down to the "Arms Associated With Saints" section, and then on to the part about "St Margaret of Antioch", you'll see what I mean), but not the crowned portcullis. Which leads me to believe that it was indeed Graham Bartram who designed the modern flag of the COSM, and that it was his decision to add the crowned portcullis onto what is otherwise (as you said) a banner of arms. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 02:19, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Snow Lion Fenian: That is very helpful. I suppose the first step would be a vectorization of the dragon's head arms of St Margaret, after which it will be easy to make up the flag and possibly the various Norfolk arms associated with it. GPinkerton (talk) 17:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Edera1970: I have completed most of your request.
  • For all house flags, I extracted the color from their logo images or the theme color used on their website. I have left the source URLs of these colors on each file's description page.
  • MSC appears to have two variations of their flags, a blue and a white. ref
  • Costa Crociere: the link you provided returned 403 "forbidden", so I sniffed around the internet and found this.
  • Holland America Line's image is too complex and is above the threshold of originality. You will have to upload those under fair use on each Wikimedia project, not on Commons. --痛Designism (talk) 03:29, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@痛: first of all, thank you for your work. Regarding the Costa flag, as you can see here, the "C" should be slighty bigger, so if you could fix it a bit (maybe even in the colors) it would be perfect. --Edera1970 (talk) 11:59, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As a secondary (optional) issue: this diagram has a very wide aspect ratio, and even at full screen width, the labels on the left starting with 'Chambre...' or 'Cour...' are in very tiny print, and hard to read. If the two large boxes left/right were vertically stretched a bit (maybe 25% higher? see what looks good), then that would leave enough room to double the height of the wide, skinny row containing 'Chambre sociale' (under the orange, 'Cour de cassation' row) and make the font bigger. Same thing with the row under the orange, 'Cour d'appel' row, and under the yellow, 'Tribunal judiciaire' row. The labels in the blue boxes on the right seem wordier, and I'm not sure if stretching them vertically would leave enough room to increase the font size, but if you can see a way to do it somehow, that would be great. But this is definitely secondary, and just making the labels accessible for the translation tool, is sufficient.Mathglot (talk) 21:58, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Still interested in this, as it will be useful on additional articles where the diagram is being used, or will be used, as we build out the poor coverage of French law in English Wikipedia. Just to be clear about this: I will do all the actual translation of labels into English using the toolforge tool; I just need the svg to be adjusted to make the addition of new labels by the tool possible in the first place, because right now it's blocked.

@TilmannR: . Thanks! When I try it in the tool, I get this error: "This file does not have any labels available for translation. Please pick another image." What am I doing wrong? I'm entering just the filename, without the prefix. Mathglot (talk) 01:00, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, wait: I see you created a new file, and I was using the original filename. Let me try again. Mathglot (talk) 01:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Article(s): replacing File:Coat of arms of Brazil.svg e.g. in en:Brazil

Request
Please, could a graphist make a SVG file for the Coat of arms of Brazil based on this new official design?
the Brazilian official government released not long ago an extremely detailed "official" version on the design of the Coat of Arms on its website. It's the result of an extensive study based on heraldic conventions and the text of the original Law that established it.
Colours are #007fff (sky blue), #ffd700 (gold), #d5d5d5 (silver), #00800 (green), #2a6332 (leaf green), #ff0000 (red), #ffb6c1 (pink), #5d1113 (coffee red), and #0000ff (blue). The typography is Triumvirate CG Inserat (REPÚBLICA FEDERATIVA DO BRASIL - 15 de Novembro de 1889).
Thank you very much for any help! --Hookko27 (talk) 13:19, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question for the coat of arms of Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira[edit]

Article(s): w:Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira

Request
I believe I made a mistake for this image. In this image I reproduced Hebrew texts from BabelMap, based on my speculate from previous image by RickMorais, which is vectorized from somewhere else, and I used the Taamey Ashkenaz font (source) to generate that. BUT today I feel something weird while I look at this image, however I can't find the proper source for this coat of arms so I'm unable to sure what the exact spelling of this text, even through I've already seen some informations about the Tetragrammaton. It would be nice if anyone else could give a hand here. -- Great Brightstar (talk) 13:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

and to make 3 more flags with it

Please make these flags using outlines from "Scottish crest badge element - crest.svg".

  1. House flag of the Clan Line.svg in addition to the new lion, the rhombus should also be made a little smaller so that it does not touch the edge.

The copyright status of the 2 lions is not clear. There is no copyright claim on the first lion (ca 1965), but the second lion (ca 1955) has the ominous:

Howard crest error: the lion's tail[edit]

  • Description of first image

    Description of first image

Article(s): Earl of Carlisle

Request
Hello! This image is already in use but there's an error in the depiction of the Earl of Carlisle's coat of arms: the lion's tail in the crest is supposed to be straight, extending towards the sinister rather than curling upwards. This is according to the blazon (see linked article) as well as depictions such as here and here. (The image's creator hasn't been active other than for a short period in 2017, so I thought I'd ask here.)
I actually see the same error with the arms of the Duke of Norfolk – another branch of the Howard family – of which the middle crest is the same as Carlisle's but without the latter's mullet (star) that was added for differentiation. See here for an example. --Waltham, The Duke of 21:41, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I can't work out this svg issue. Some text shows when looking at the image when rendered as an svg, but disappears when rendered as a png (same for previews on wp pages). See for example, the text "Terminator". Does anyone here know how to fix this? --T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 11:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Evolution and evolvability: ✓ Done. The problem seems to be related to Phab:T35245. The text showed up after removing the per-letter positions from the tspan nodes.
E.g. x="499.67999 504.83328 509.40576 514.91809" → x="499.67999". TilmannR (talk) 15:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@TilmannR - Thank you! You're a champion. I knew someone on this page would know the solution. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 23:37, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@TilmannR - When there is no x= specified for a tspan node, how do you determine what to put in? I was trying to apply the same thing you did to a sister file: File:Gene_structure_prokaryote_2_annotated.svg but e.g. the text "5’UTR" has no x or y defined for the <text> and the <tnode> specifies x="0" y="0", so I don't understand how the position is being determined for that element! T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 00:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Evolution and evolvability:
The x and y values default to zero; the position is set with the transform attribute to be x=452.76, y=448.6, and y axis inverted (the y axis was inverted higher up, so this inversion undoes the previous inversion). 
        <text
           transform="matrix(1,0,0,-1,452.76,448.68)"
           id="text3175-8"
           style="font-size:10.99796677px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;text-indent:0;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;line-height:normal;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:normal;text-transform:none;direction:ltr;block-progression:tb;writing-mode:lr-tb;text-anchor:start;baseline-shift:baseline;color:#000000;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:none;stroke-width:0.74189848;marker:none;visibility:visible;display:inline;overflow:visible;enable-background:accumulate;font-family:Calibri;-inkscape-font-specification:Calibri">
          <tspan
             style="font-size:10.99796677px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;text-indent:0;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;line-height:normal;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:normal;text-transform:none;direction:ltr;block-progression:tb;writing-mode:lr-tb;text-anchor:start;baseline-shift:baseline;color:#000000;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:none;stroke-width:0.74189848;marker:none;visibility:visible;display:inline;overflow:visible;enable-background:accumulate;font-family:Calibri;-inkscape-font-specification:Calibri"
             x="0 5.3856001 8.0256004 14.74176 19.88448"
             y="0"
             sodipodi:role="line"
             id="tspan3177-3">5’UTR
          </tspan>
        </text>
The text-anchor and text-align should be middle rather than start to center the text, but that means the x position needs to move to the center of the space rather than the start of the text.
