Conversion to SVG

Can someone please convert this to an SVG format? --Hsnkn (talk) 02:38, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
I think that the original PNG is probably the best way to go with cover art. I'm concerned that an SVG would misrepresent the lettering. SVG-image-maker (talk) 21:46, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Request of illustration of coat of arms

An illustration of a coat of arms based on the following heraldic blazon: Azure, on a bend argent three crosses pattée gules, between two swords erect or. Thank you! --~2026-35405-34 (talk) 15:12, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
I've attempted to render this. Please let me know if there are any issues. To confirm: Is the category Category:Coats of arms of families of Sweden appropriate? –Ilzolende (talk) 17:07, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
@Ilzolende: Thank you! Yes, looks good. Actually, this version with standing crosses (1) seems more faithful to the original. Although your other version (2) with rotaded crosses could be kept as a separate alternative. Furthermore, would you be willing to make an third version (3) including the version 1 coat of arms (horizontal crosses), but with a full heraldic achievement, complete with a conventional heraldic helmet, crest, torse, and mantling? Crest: a plume of three ostrich feathers, the center gules, the outer ones argent. Mantling: gules, doubled argent. Thank you! ~2026-37470-92 (talk) 12:10, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
Regarding a full achievement: I'll think about it.
I can put the standing crosses back no problem. The rotated crosses will still be in the file history. Also, if you have any sources for the blazon, or the blazon in some other language, I'd be happy to include those.
—Ilzolende (talk) 01:08, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for edit. Source: archives of the en:Swedish Order of Freemasons. The achievement as a separate image file, if possible, would be much appreciated. ~2026-37827-63 (talk) 15:22, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
Actually, you could “cite” any source, since it couldn’t be verified and might well be far from the truth, as well as close - who knows? -, this one can hardly be accepted, to which it might be added that this coat of arms is not registered in any official roll, which make it out of scope.
Moreover, the fact that the applicant takes the position of the crosses so lightly (“Actually, this version with standing crosses (1) seems more faithful to the original. Although your other version (2) with rotaded crosses could be kept as a separate alternative”) only serves to heighten the doubt, given that, from an heraldic point of view, this matter is perfectly defined and cannot be subject to any nuance or interpretation, nor considered as a “possible alternative”. i.e. if the charges are not bendwise, this cannot fail to be specified.
--Kontributor 2K (talk) 09:55, 03 July 2026 (UTC)
@Kontributor 2K: Thank you! Here is a link to a photograph of the heraldic achievement, along with crest. Mantling: red/white. In case this would be achievable? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cHvgEpo3MFbKfOtpJFNoMSSNNXQ9YTem/view?usp=sharing. Thank you. ~2026-40614-70 (talk) 15:49, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
It might be valuable to create an account and upload this file onto commons, then it could be used as an additional illustration in the article and also justify the SVG version.
The crosses are unequivocally straight. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 06:24, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Illustration of coat of arms


Article(s): en:Sidenius, sv:Sidenius

An illustration of a coat of arms based on the following heraldic blazon: "An eagle reguardant with wings elevated and displayed standing on a triple mount issuing from the base, in the dexter claw a rose slipped and leaved, and in chief a sun in his splendour issuing from the top of the shield." Thank you! --~2026-35405-34 (talk) 15:16, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. For your information, you may find the Swedish language version of the blazon in question in this PDF document: here. Feel free if you want to consider an improved English language of the original Swedish one. Thank you! ~2026-37470-92 (talk) 12:15, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
Thank you. It's not “for my information”, since every coat of arms must rely on an official reference, which should systematically be provided with every request. That said, I wouldn’t say that freepages.rootsweb.com is what might be called an official reference. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 09:04, 01 July 2026 (UTC)
The PDF is originally from Swedish church records, otherwise digitally not published elsewhere as far as I know. ~2026-37827-63 (talk) 15:14, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
 Not done The fact that this source cannot be verified – even though it's related to far past events – means that it is difficult to use it in an article or to use it to support any claim. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 10:00, 03 July 2026 (UTC)
@Kontributor 2K: The original source is stated as "Matrikel Härnösands län (1646)". Admittedly, it seems a bit unclear exactly what this refers to, although it should be among these archive souces: here or here. If that would be credible enough regarding good faith about source? ~2026-40614-70 (talk) 15:54, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Globally, one is entering an area where it might be best to directly contact a user who is knowledgeable about Swedish heraldry; I mean this not just for a matter of language proficiency. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 06:30, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)
Request is done, you're welcome! Have a good day! ✓ Done
@TheNoob1337: The quality of your logos is poor. I suspect they were made using auto-tracing.
All the corners are blurry and rounded. This logo, for example, is completely unusable.
Logos should only be auto-traced in rare cases, and only if the quality of the original image is good enough.
Whenever possible, original vector files should be used for logos. These vector files, for example SVG or PDF files, should then be listed as the source on the description page.
If no vector files are available, the logo should be redrawn manually instead of traced.
If the logo contains text, you need to know the exact fonts and have the necessary skills to recreate the complete logo accurately without tracing.
Generally, the description page should link to the raster image that was used as the original for the vector version, for example with {{Based|filename.png|d=80}}.
@Yovt and Yeagvr: : Please check the quality of the logos created by TheNoob1337 in your requests before replacing the raster images.
P.S.: The template {{section resolved|1=~~~~}} should not be added by the graphic artist directly. It should be added by the requester after they have reviewed the file or files. --Mrmw (talk) 05:59, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

xkcd wordmark

Article(s): en:xkcd

Request

Make three or four SVG images based on two PNG images of a word mark. Here are the two PNG images

  • The letters should be vectorised to match the original as closely as possible. "XKCD" is higher-resolution, so in case there's doubt as to how a letter in "EXPLAIN" should be vectorised, you can double-check from "XKCD".
    • For example, the ending strokes of the letters in "EXPLAIN" might sometimes look perfectly rounded, but from "XKCD" you can see that they are all a little square-ish and are never perfectly round.
    • Do not reuse the "X" from "XKCD" in "EXPLAIN" or vice versa.
  • It is important that the letters be vectorised as closely as possible to the original:
    • The letters never "touch" each other, including in the initial "EX" sequence (there's a really small gap, but they should not collide in the results).
    • The letters should not be stretched or rotated and their position relative to the other letters in the same word should not be changed.
    • In theory, the thickness of the letters in the two PNG images is almost identical, but in case they're different, the "EXPLAIN" letters can optionally be made slightly thicker to match the thickness of the letters in "XKCD".
  • The results should all contain the two words in a single SVG file.
    • The three or four results should all say "EXPLAIN XKCD", and they should be differentiated only by the amount of horizontal space between the first and second word (NOT by the spacing amongst the letters themselves; that remains the same in all results).
    • In all results, the words should be distinguishable as two different words, though with different levels of spacing between the two. The words should not be too far apart from each other, but not excessively close either: the differences between the results should be minor.
    • A reasonable attempt should be made to align the two words vertically and especially to resize them so that one word doesn't look bigger or lower/higher compared to the other. It should look like a cohesive wordmark.
