Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop

Shortcuts

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
- If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

Lola Bunny PNG to SVG

Article(s): Lola Bunny
Request: Please convert from PNG to SVG.; I ask this because the image's page in question has a request for it to be so. -- NintenBOUND (talk) 14:13, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion: @NintenBOUND: Redrawing non-free images is prohibited per our non-free content policy. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 03:35, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the reasoning behind this, and I'm not going to argue about it, but I'd like to ask a few questions to clear up any confusion: why is a PNG to SVG request on multiple images on character pages, such as the Yoshi and Elmer Fudd ones, when they aren't free images? Why are there SVG images on characters with presumably non-free images, such as Mr. Krabs or Marvin the Martian? Thank you for your time. NintenBOUND (talk) 13:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NintenBOUND: The difference is that the copyright holder created those SVG images. If we can find SVG images that have been released by the copyright holder, then we can certainly upload them under fair-use, but we cannot redraw them ourselves. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 04:13, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thanks. NintenBOUND (talk) 14:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): All articles these already appear on.
Request: Could somebody please modify the above files representing the flag and coat of arms of Plomelin, so that they look closer to the way they actually should? The proper version of the flag can be seen here and here. And the full version of the arms can be seen here (albeit obviously without the captions at the top and bottom). Thanks.

Request

The logo would have less file size and would look better as a SVG. No legitimate source SVGs are available on the internet, as far as I am aware. -- Hurstbergn (talk) 15:33, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Note that the insides of the derrick is supposed to be colored white as far as I see, from several modern paraphernalia and representations (hats, logos on non-white backgrounds, etc.) -- Hurstbergn (talk) 20:51, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Please make this historical New Zealand flag [1]. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 20:08, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want the flag background to be slightly grey per the flag displayed or to make it just as blue as the canton? Hwi.padam 21:41, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hwi.padam Change the color, but while the flag probably had various shades of blue from the beginning, it's now faded. I think #1e3850 would be appropriate. It would also be good to change a few details of the inscription, "1" is completely different, there is less space between the beginning and end of the lower inscription and the end of the material, the holes in the "o" are less rounded and there is less space between the letters and dots. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will change the color and try my best on the inscription. Since it was pretty much a handmade flag, it is practically impossible to find an exactly identical font. I will modify the paths for best resembling the original ensign. Hwi.padam 22:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help with converting and replacing a logo file

Hello, I recently uploaded a logo for Shankh Air File:Shankh Air logo.webp in WebP format, but I’ve noticed that most logos on Wikipedia are in SVG format for better quality and scalability. Unfortunately, I don’t have the tools or experience to convert it to SVG as I am not used to uploading files to wikipedia commons. Could someone please help me convert the logo to SVG. Thank you Best Regards, AstuteFlicker (talk) 14:20, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That image does not appear to be free, as the graphic is fairly complex (I have started commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Shankh Air logo.webp). If that's true, it is prohibited on commons altogether and only allowed on enwiki for use in a low-resolution form (see WP:NFCC 3b). I don't see what would be gained by switching to a higher quality or infinitely-scalable format if it is required to use only lower-quality and smaller forms of it. After there is a accepted enwiki article about this airline (for example, Draft:Shankh Air moved to mainspace), then it would be allowed to host the lower-quality image here on enwiki for use in that article.
