Emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola[edit]

Article(s): en:Democratic People's Republic of Angola

Request

Hello, I'm looking to see if anyone could remake the emblem used by UNITA's rival government of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola; the emblem is the same as the middle of the one on UNITA's party emblem but with the text SOCIALISMO, NEGRITUDE, DEMOCRACIA NÃO-ALINHAMENTO.
References:

Colors should be all the same as the one on the current logo of UNITA and the rooster & sun should be the same as the colors on the flag.
Thanks a million in advance if anyone takes this request :) --NorthTension (talk) 16:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I made some progress in Inkscape (not the full emblem though)

Article(s): w:en:State Emblem of the Soviet Union, w:en:Coat of arms of Russia, w:ru:Великая Отечественная война, w:ru:Герб СССР, and other sister projects

Request
Coat of arms of the Soviet Union (1936–1946).svg is the only vector file of the 1936 coat of arms of the Soviet Union. However, it's a poorly vectorized version since it's a bitmap tracing of a raster image. It's also not the most accurate to the official design as approved on May 27, 1937 (shown below). Could somebody please revectorize that image to make it a proper vector image and also an accurate representation of the official design? For reference, this file here is an accurate vector representation of the 1956 coat of arms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colohisto (talk • contribs) 00:58, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Coats of arms of Venlo in the Belgium period[edit]

Article(s): nl:Wapen van Venlo

Request
Best,
I see that during Belgian times a coat of arms was also granted to the city of Venlo, of which there is no known image on Commons. The coat of arms can be found here in a photo of the awarded weapons diploma. Would anyone like to draw this coats of arms on an .svg file?
Yours sincerely,

Erroneous flag of Washington (Liggett & Myers)[edit]

Article(s): Flag of Washington

Request
Could someone please create an SVG file of the flag that was erroneously displayed as the state flag of Washington on a cigarette silk available from various brands of the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company circa 1905–1917, as seen as part of this image here. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 01:32, 7 January 2024 (UTC) Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
@Snow Lion Fenian: ✓ Done. Basically just a recolor of File:Flag of Washington.svg and remove the rest of the text. I think the erroneous silk has him smiling more, but I think that's more of a stylistic choice. QuickQuokka [⁠talkcontribs] 20:59, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@QuickQuokka: Thanks for taking this request! Just a few more things though... perhaps Washington's head could be made bigger, so that the top of it is closer to the rim of the circle, as it appears to be in the link? Also, even though I'm rather uncertain about it myself, I'm also inclined to think that the central circle from the flag in the link is meant to be light blue (albeit a much lighter shade than the modern seal). What do you think? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): en:After Midnight (TV series)

Request
I am not entirely sure if this logo can be recreated in SVG form due to the blurs and multi-colored gradients, but I guess it's worth asking. (Note: sorry for the bad quality of the logo. Taking it from the series itself is not plausible as it's shown over a wide shot(?), and other bigger versions do not show the outer colors well. Now that I think about it I'm also not sure if the outer colors are needed, so it can be omitted if so.) --Spinixster (talk) 10:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
I just tried to simulate the blur with filters.
I do not know the font. It has a two-story "a" but a one-story "g". The font "Trebuchet MS" shows the gist, but has the wrong "g" and "M".
I only uploaded to File:Test.svg. WMF's rasterizer has too many limitations, and I do not have tracing on this machine. See archived Test.svg.
Glrx (talk) 19:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it may be Helvetica Bold or a similar font, with adjustments to the a so it resembles a @. Not sure about the smaller font at the bottom, though. I think remaking this logo in SVG would be hard, so if that's not possible, I wish for someone to override the original file with a better picture. Spinixster (talk) 02:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict) Definitely not Helvetica; note the round dot on the i, showing a Geometric influence. Avenir is closer but not quite right either. The two-storey a is quite unusual in the at-sign and may have been substituted.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 03:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC) P.S. The ft ligature is another unusual feature suggesting hand-alteration.—03:29, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The "ſt" ligature was present in all the fonts I tried. Glrx (talk) 03:34, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, the "ſt" ligature may have been obtained from another font.... Glrx (talk) 04:03, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The font is an issue. This link
only found a few fonts with a double-story atsign. Tahoma and Verdana have double-story "a" characters, but single-story atsigns.
A hack would use the Trebuchet MS atsign and Helvetica/Arial for the rest. But many users (and WMF) do not have Trebuchet MS.
A better method than trying to match the font would trace the characters and then employ the filters.

SVG and split religious habits[edit]

Article(s): a lot of them!

Request
Hello. On the it.wiki's Graphics Lab we're working on converting to SVG and splitting religios habit/vestments sketches on Commons, so they can be used more easily and without scaling problems. Since it's a really long process, we would like to ask for your help taking some of that work.

More precisely, the steps are the following:

  1. Creating an SVG version of the sketches and uploading it
  2. Uploading the individual sketches on Commons

If it's possible, I would ask for coherence to make them on the style of those sketches: 1, 2, 3, since it's the one used by most of the sketches already present

There's already an AC/DC logo, but my problem with it is that it doesn't resemble such in official products due to the bolt being too far from "AC" and a little unaligned as the slash. In official material (references here and here) the bolt is sized and aligned enough to barely touch the C & D without overlapping either, and the top of the bolt is also connected with the upper-left point of the D. I'm requesting another logo with such details, basically. And just to be safe, could there be two variants of it? One in flat black and one in red and with a gradient, both transparent.
