DONOT remove the GLNF template. Non free images are not allowed to be displayed here.

Please understand that non free images cannot be 'recreated'. That would be in violation of copyright. We graphists can only extract a logo that is already in vector form(say PDF). I would be happy to do it if you can find a vector version. Roshan220195 (talk) 18:34, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not true, there are several graphists here who recreate SVGs of copyrighted logos. As long as they're attributed and have a non-free use rationale on them, it's perfectly fine. Fry1989 ^eh? 19:35, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Can you make me a JPEG-file and GIF-File or SVG-File of this Logo please (The red letters in the background too please)... Goroth (talk) 16:41, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Hi Goroth, (1) This is already a JPG file (via Save Image As from browser) (2) Why do you need JPG and GIF? (3a) What article is this for? (3b) Do we have proper permission for this to be used on Wikipedia? (4) This is certainly non-vectorizable (conversion to SVG impossible) - the elements are photographic. Given (1) and (4), I don't know if you need graphists to help with the task. In any case, clarification is welcomed. Jon C (talk) 02:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I want a JPEG without the bloody hand in the background. I need this for the Spirit of Metal webzine. I would do it on my own but I can´t handle with such programs. The SVG file I want use in a article at de:WP in the article on Save Our Souls. When a SVG is impossible would creating a GIF-file work? --91.22.39.187 (talk) 09:21, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Technical notes: (1) the lettering is partially overlapped by the hand, so just extracting the text (into a raster format like GIF/JPG) would still require painting in the missing parts. Folks over at the photography workshop might be better for that. (They may balk at the idea of a request that has nothing to do with WP at all.) (2) The lettering themselves are highly stylized, and likely modified from original fonts. To prepare a SVG, one would need to trace the individual letters and match the gradient (that is, a time-consuming process). Have you tried contacting the original author for the source files? Jon C (talk) 13:18, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I asked them. I´m “working” together with band. I asked them if they have a JPEG-file of this logo. Is this picture better? --Goroth (talk) 13:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For what you need (just the red text), it'd be useful to ask for the source PSD (photoshop) file. The red text likely was assembled on a separate layer, and it would be easy to move it into its own JPG - and it may also be possible to move into Illustrator and made into a vector file. The newly attached JPG is no better in terms of extraction - the desired piece is partially transparent on a busy background. Jon C (talk) 13:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Yeah, that's indeed a problem. Do you think it would make a difference if a font from meta:SVG fonts such as Nimbus Sans L is used? --Leyo 12:04, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The PNG rendering is using Bitstream Vera Sans, an SVG font listed on meta. It is probably a bug of librsvg. --Wylve (talk) 16:20, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected the perspective, tilt, and skewing, and prepared a 2-color SVG based on the corrected image.

Graphist opinion(s): Is this superceded by this SVG? Or does the dash lines mean something? Jon C (talk) 08:17, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1. The file has a strange name 120px-Hexagonal_lattice.svg.png, and is not clear (black & greys only for me). 2. As far as I could see, and the name suggests too, it shows file:Hexagonal lattice.svg.

Two tweaks for "Fluorine"

Resolved

– Jon C (talk)

Article(s): Fluorine

Request:

1. For cryolite, please

A. Move the caption slightly to the left. Right now, as displayed, the "d" of dissolved is falling on the pipe at the right (keep it in the blue). And don't make the font smaller.

B. Make the "A" and the "L" lower case please.

2. For the phase diagram, please make the font for "liquid" and "solid" larger (same size as the H2O label font). You will need to slide the solid/liquid caption down a bit so the words don't break over the phase boundary. TCO (talk) 00:27, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.s. Thanks in advance, you all rule.

Graphist opinion(s): Done I've made the requested changes. Except that in the cryolite diagram, the overlapping is due to a bug in the SVG-renderer, where it renders fonts differently in some thumbnails than in full version. Jon C (talk) 05:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that too. Could we cut the word "dissolved"?

Could we use the IUPAC spelling "aluminium" on a science article, as per WP:ALUM? --John (talk) 10:46, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See File:Chess rll44.png and File:Chess rll45.svg for an example. Double sharp (talk) 07:28, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I thought that the vector version of that template used transparent vectors, which already exist for these. If you do want these, though, it would be easier to add backgrounds to these rather than remake them. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 11:54, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I find that the white archbishop on white square svgs (without base and eye improvements) looks a lot nicer at small size, which is how it will be used anyway. With base and eye improvements and without. Double sharp (talk) 14:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By other svg's, if you mean the ones which i have put up here, they have the same knight. Do you want the knight to be similar to File:Chess nll45.svg?? Roshan (talk) 14:21, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed yes, I meant the nll45 knight. That's because the archbishop and chancellor have a very visible knight's head in their diagram here, so it wouldn't look good if they didn't look the same as the usual knight.

structure of MnF4

Resolved

– DyceBot (talk) 07:00, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Fluorine, Manganese(IV) fluoride

Request: Create an illustration for the MnF4 structure. See para in "Fluorine" for context. I would like it for two reasons: (1) the discussion is complex and a graphic will help people (especially non-technical ones) feel more comfortable and (2) it is sort of different than the chains and lattices shown.

In terms of the appearance, I would like something showing "octahedra" (since they are referred to in the text) and showing a ring of 4 of them. Perhaps use a dashed "circle" to emphasize the ring-ness. I am really more concerned with something a little cartoonish that illustrates the text than making sure we have a complete unit cell or the like.

Here is only non-free illo I could find [1]. It's OK, I guess...just would want the dashed circle added for the reader to see ring-ness emphasized.

I don't have crystal structure date, but perhaps you can research it (I am really not a purist on that sort of thing, but feel free if you are). Here is a reference: [2].
