Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop

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.

Request: Hi. Here are four flags that each belong to a village in Alphen-Chaam, North Brabant, the Netherlands. These villages are Bavel, Galder, Strijbeek and Ulvenhout. Apart from being in the same municipality, they also share another similarity, their flags are nearly identical to each-other and this isn't a coincidence as they're all near each-other. The four flags contain the exact same pattern of four parts bisected in a Nordic Cross manner though without an actual cross. On the top line, a white square on the left and a green rectangle on the right. On the bottom line, a red square on the left and a red white rectangle on the right. The only difference is all four also add a symbol from their coat of arms and place it on the white square at the top. My request today is for someone to kindly please vectorize these flags and I add them here all together due their nearly identical design. Thanks in advance!--109.76.249.135 (talk) 21:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Louisiana Air Guard emblem

HQ Louisiana Air National Guard emblem

Article(s): Louisiana Air National Guard
Request

This Louisiana Air Guard emblem needs a couple small adjustments. First, the words have an irregular size and slightly warped appearance, and they appear to get smaller and larger as one reads across. Secondly, the fleur-de-lis emblem is tilted slightly to the left. Indefatigable2^talk 16:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pashtun banner captured at Jellalabad

Pashtun banner captured at Jellalabad
Nicely vectorized flag with fringes if needed

Article(s): List of Afghan flags
Request: Please vectorize this banner, there is a photo zooming in on the inscriptions but it looks like a faded print and there is a drawing showing probably the original colors. Both images were created at the Somerset Military Museum, which owns the flag but does not display it [1]. The flag has fringes, I've added another file to help with this element, but I don't expect any specific way to represent them. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 17:07, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both images were created at the Somerset Military Museum, which owns the flag but does not display it [2]. The flag has fringes, I've added another file to help with this element, but I don't expect any specific way to represent them.

Request: Logo for a new series of articles on social choice and mechanism design

Requesting help with a new logo (?) for a sidebar of articles on social choice and mechanism design. I've created the following examples using an AI image tool, but I don't know enough about graphic design to fix this:

An industrial accident in progress
Missing teeth and pixels
A man is disfranchised by lasers
Just another cog in the machine. And another. And another. And-
Gear voice: I'm melting!

All of these designs look solid in general, but they have lots of mistakes in the details, which I've labeled. There's also minor mistakes you can find in all of them, like random unnecessary lines or the checkmark being crooked. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 04:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could somebody please create an SVG file for the flag that was flown at Trerice in 1940, when the Local Defence Volunteers held drills on the grounds of the estate, as seen here (albeit flipped horizontally, as it appears to be shown on its reverse side).

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done ~~ J. Dann 07:57, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cypp0847: Thanks a lot! Although perhaps you could put in the inward curves at the top and bottom of the fly end, as shown in the link, as I believe they're actually supposed to be part of the flag? Sorry for the hassle. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:54, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian: I wasn't sure whether the two corners were intended to be cropped or not. Nonetheless I am glad to update it. ~~ J. Dann 16:16, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cypp0847: No worries, and thanks again for a great job! Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:21, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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]
