Design of Lawrence Oates' sledge flag

Request
Could somebody please create an SVG file of the sledging flag which was designed for Lawrence Oates prior to the Terra Nova Expedition but without actually ever being manufactured for him to use during said expedition (hence the need for "Design of" in the file name), as seen and described in detail (in the "Full description" section) here?

Btw, the logo above is monochrome, while the current one is colored. If you literally want a monochrome version, creating it from the existing SVG would be sufficient. ≈  MS Sakib  📩 ·📝 19:55, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MS Sakib, The logo here is just traced vector and therefore is not of high quality. I'll be available to work on this file after the last week of November. If anyone is interested by this time can accept the request and proceed. Otherwise I'll do it afterwards. — Meghmollar2017Talk23:05, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Insignias and flags of Bangladesh Military

[edit]

Insignias available in this drive folder but not yet in Category:Military insignia of Bangladesh or it's sub categories.

Article(s): Articles related to the Bangladesh Military

Request
I have recently visited the en:Bangladesh Military Museum, where insignias of various formations and ranks were displayed. However, I have not uploaded those images to Wikimedia Commons due to uncertainty about their copyright status. Creating SVG versions of these insignias (and corresponding flags where applicable) would be valuable additions to Commons. Reference images can be found in this drive folder Thanks--Tausheef Hassan (talk) 19:27, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
Hello, Tausheef Hassan. I agree that these images would be valuable for Commons; however —
  1. Regarding the copyright concerns, please refer to Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Bangladesh and determine the photographs' copyright status. If your jpg photos are subject to copyright concerns, vectorizing them into SVGs are not going to magically lift the copyright restrictions.
  2. This is a loaded request of 50 - 60 images at once, with varying complexities. Most of them are not mere simple geometric shapes, but with complex vehicles / weapons / animals involved.
  3. Some of the images in your Google Drive is not properly labeled. This makes it extremely hard to identify which badge belongs to which troop, or what text to put on the badges.
  4. Some of the images are taken with light source not so ideal, making it hard to discern the details (reflections, over/under exposure).
The best way to make us graphists take the "bait" and do the vectorization is to verify their copyright status, clean up the images (adjusting exposure level, crop, etc), organize them, and upload the individual badges to Commons. Some people in Commons:Graphic Lab/Photography workshop may be able to assist with certain steps here. Then launch a request for them in multiple different batches, with about 5 badges per request.  Not done --Designism (talk) 05:20, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request overwrite exception for this file

[edit]

Hello, I would like to request permission to overwrite the following file:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bras%C3%A3o_de_Prad%C3%B3polis.jpg

The new version is an improvement because: - it removes a copyrighted font used in the ribbon of the coat of arms; - it corrects several inaccuracies present in the previous image; - it presents a more symmetrical, balanced and respectful rendering, consistent with proper heraldic representation.

For these reasons, I believe that overwriting the file is appropriate.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaah FRB (talk • contribs) 16:04, 11. Dez. 2025 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)
In principle, text content in SVGs should be included as text rather than as paths.
However, in this case I would deviate from that approach and convert the text into immutable paths.
The formula is an immutable expression, and representing it as text offers no significant advantage.
This would also eliminate varying renderings and dimensions that depend on the available fonts. --Mrmw (talk) 09:14, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
