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.
Ourfair-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.
Can someone please create SVG files for the other two finalists from the 2006 competition organised to establish a Flag for
Derbyshire, namely "
Design 2" and "
Design 3". Thanks.

QuickQuokka: Thank you, and sorry for the delay in responding. Well, all three designs originate from BBC Derby. According to the
original website, the designer of the
original concept was Leon Summers, with BBC Derby modifying his submission to create what was known as "Design 3". Which is also exactly what BBC Derby did with
Martin Enright's submission, modifying it to create "Design 1" (which was of course chosen as Derbyshire's flag). Hence, I'd recommend giving the new file the same CR tag as "Design 1". Hope this helps.

QuickQuokka: Good point, and profuse apologies for the excessively long delay in getting back to you. Well, I certainly don't pretend to be an expert on CR licenses on Wikipedia. The impression I've gotten is that the uploader wanted to waive their rights to the file, but went about it the wrong way, resulting in using a license that creates a slight bit of confusion. After considering it all, I'd now recommend giving the new file the "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported", in order to cover the same bases while making it clear that the uploader is not the original designer. Hope this helps.

Flag of Grand Fenwick (PNG version), use the width of the first version of the flag (minus the black border) as an example of the width of the completed SVG version
Coat of arms of Grand Fenwick (PNG version), the version here is slightly incorrect, the shield is meant to be white (like the flag) instead of black
Coat of arms of Grand Fenwick (TIFF version), the version here is slightly incorrect, the shield is meant to be white (like the flag) instead of black, this one is similar to the PNG coat of arms but is bigger and so shows more detail of the eagle and the scrolls
Hi everyone! I'd like to give a request to see if anyone can please make a vectorized version of the flag of the fictional country of "Grand Fenwick" from the book and movie "The Mouse That Roared"? The design as described in the book and shown in the movie is a red double-headed eagle, one head on the left, the other on the right, with its wings outspread and two scrolls at either side of the eagle, with one reading "Aye!" (or "AYE!", "Aye" or "AYE") near the left head, and one reading "Nay!" (or "NAY!", "Nay" or "NAY") near the right head. This design is in the center of a plain color white field. I also request that the same user who creates the flag of Grand Fenwick also creates the coat of arms of Grand Fenwick, which has an identical design to the flag but with the eagle and scrolls placed on a white shield instead. Besides the two images posted above (though please remember that the coat of arms I posted is inaccurate and is meant to match the flag), here's some more images of the design of both the flag and the coat of arms in these three links posted here
https://www.otherworldproject.com/wiki/images/3/34/GFenwick-flag.gifhttps://www.fotw.info/images/f/fic-gfen.gif.
https://ib.frath.net/w/images/0/05/Fenwick_flags.gif (for the last image, the flag is marked with the title "(a) Classic"). This request was originally posted last year but there was no response from any user here, which was disappointing. This time, I hope to get the request fulfilled and I'll be grateful to see it done. Just in case the fact that this was posted on April 1 (April Fools Day) might put people off because they think the request is a joke or a prank, I'd like to say that this request is serious and I actually want it done. Thanks in advance!

It's great to see someone actually take up my request! To help you out, I've posted another version of the coat of arms which is bigger and therefore shows more detail of the eagle and the scrolls. Thank you Fvasconcellos for your good work.--

Can someone make a free version of the Gloster P.376 three-view found online?
The thin-wing Javelin was a version of the
Gloster Javelin of dramatically improved performance. It was never built beyond a partially complete prototype, and I've never found photographs of it. The best I have found was a "three view" illustration from a book, which I have
put online at imgur here. Can someone make a libre version of this illustration?
This diagram is needlessly complex in places. If it makes it easier, the dotted-outline indications of the landing gear can be removed. There is also considerable detail in the flaps and spoilers seen on the right side of the top view that can be simplified, those are the bits that have a sort of cross-hatching in them. The various "mid-lines" on the center of the fuselage and missiles can also be removed.

Maury Markowitz: Here you go, let me know what you think! Also, if you could provide a citation for the book so I can add it as a source, that would be great.

If the original was copyright free one could make an exact copy otherwise one would need to use an artistic version. Anyway, this request led me to make my first steps and experiment with Blender 3D - and I am yet to figure out how to make an airfoil cross section for the wing, smooth edges etc. But for a very rough toy model do check

Interlake Steamship Company, The middle stripe is a little wider than the others. The symbol on the flag is a simple funnel drawing,
[2]. It's too simple to be covered by US copyright law. A contour map of Great Lakes is superimposed on the funnel.
[3][4][5]
@
Swiãtopôłk: This batch was actually quite challenging. There appear to be different versions of the Pittsburgh and Pickands Mather flags depending on the source, so I've uploaded two versions of each. As for the Interlake, our maps of the Great Lakes are quite different from the one used on the flag in terms of projection and scale, so this is not going to be a perfect match, but I think it's close enough to be informative. Let me know what you think.

Fvasconcellos: Thank you for your work and thoroughness. I only have one comment about the first Pittsburgh flag. The "P" in the original has a more angular shape. FOTW admits that it based its drawing on a blurry photo where stars can be counted. The rest is great.
Swiãtopôłk (

Ah yes, I'll work on the "P" to make it closer to the specimen.

Please make four flags of
Mersey Docks and Harbour Company. Two of them are red and blue ensigns
[6]. Although I don't intend to use it, I'm also asking for the badge, maybe it will come in handy someday. I am adding a laurel wreath from another file, but there is no need to change anything in it because it is similar enough to the source. The next two flags are the house flags.
[7] I don't have a source to confirm this, but I suspect that the red one was for the
lightships. The lighthouse looks similar to the
Leasowe Lighthouse -
east side, but the drawing is not of the best quality and it does not need to be reproduced perfectly. The white flag
[8] contains a drawing of a
Liver bird.

Proposed flags of Huntingdonshire (2007)
The Huntingdonshire Society's original proposal for the county flag, elements of which can be used in the creation of "Flag B".
The Cross of Saint George, which can also be used in the creation of "Flag B".
Could anyone please create SVG files for the four proposed designs (none of which were ever adopted) for a Huntingdonshire county flag which appeared in The Hunts Post newspaper in 2007, as seen
here. Thanks.

Could anyone create a separate, truncated version of this logo without the castle imagery? The logo is used only for the article's infobox which already features a real-life image of
Cinderella Castle being used to identify the park. Presently, the infobox looks cluttered with two images of the same castle. It would be better for the infobox to just use the vector logo and the real photograph of the castle. Thank you. ~

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can please a SVG version of the original flag of Springfield, Missouri? it is based on the Missouri state flag (a tricolor flag with a stripe of red, white and blue in that order from top to bottom and the seal of Missouri in the middle of the white stripe) but with the seal removed and replaced with the word "SPRINGFIELD" colored in blue and placed on the white stripe and below it, the word "MISSOURI" placed colored in blue and also placed on the white stripe. The original flag of Springfield, Missouri also adds a white star to each of the four corners in the red and blue stripes. I think this one will be very easy to do and will be done quickly. Thanks in advance.
