Can you make a Pashto version of the flag? Thanks. --

SpinnerLaserzthe2nd: How do you expect us to know what a "Pashto version" should look like. You have to be much more specific, also the source is of to low quality to be able to work from IMO. --always ping me--

I am talking about the Pashto name of the Afghan National Police.

SpinnerLaserzthe2nd: I and many others don't speak or read either Dari or Pashto so you would have to write it here and tell exactly what to change. But still the source is of very low quality so it will be very hard. --always ping me--

Vehicle registration identifiers
Request
I would like to request these series of images be corrected and standardised. They currently all share the same dimensions (200px by 440px), but the text is all over the place. There's different typefaces, there's different sizes, some characters aren't properly aligned, some aren't even properly rendering.
Please use a single typeface for all. Fry1989eh? 17:47, 30 September 2021 (UTC)reply

Fry1989: Is there any standardizing document from the EU which describes how the plates and text should be formatted?

@
Auguel: I have found three documents with some information.
EUR-lex does mention the measurements of the plate overall. The
Government of Ireland and
Government of the United Kingdom are more specific about measurements of the national identifier section, such as the dimensions of the stars and text. I can't find any specific typeface having been specified. Aside from that, the best bet I guess is photos of real registration plates in situ. Fry1989eh? 17:38, 3 October 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Fry1989: Going to the source may not have the effect you desire. It doesn't seem like anything about the strips is standardized. Neither the font, nor the size. Take a look at these examples.
Estonia
Spain
Belgium
Bulgaria
Notice the difference between the Spanish and Estonian 'E'. Also the Belgium and Bulgarian 'B'. And the Belgium B seems bigger than the rest.

@
Auguel: There are minor variations between countries, so I admit that using the exact same dimensions and typeface is not completely accurate. My intention however is to try and make them as visually similar as we can, as well as fix the problems with text that is squashed or that isn't aligned or rendering correctly. Using different typefaces is acceptable if we know what typeface is actually being used or have a similar looking typeface available. Fry1989eh? 18:22, 4 October 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Fry1989: Can you point out which one is not rendering properly? They all look fine to me.
Auguel (
talk) 18:46, 4 October 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Auguel: The codes for Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Slovakia, do not appear to render correctly, but it may be the choice of typeface. Furthermore, many of them are not aligned. Look at Croatia, Italy, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. If you aren't willing to suport what I am attempting to achieve, let someone else. Fry1989eh? 17:08, 5 October 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Fry1989: Of course anybody else is free to complete the work, that goes without saying. I actually am in favor of what you are trying to do. Probably we cannot unify the font because it actually does differ between countries (I might try to approximate the real font). Certainly we can fix the centering issue. However I still do not see any rendering issue. Out of curriosity why are you not doing this work yourself? You seem completely capable of doing it based on your past contributions.

The four corners of a parallelogram are commonly labeled a, b, c, d as seen in Commons. So far the labeling has been cyclic, rather than the order required at
equipollence (geometry)#Parallelogram property. There a quotation from Bertrand Russell is cited which indicates how the labels should appear in an appropriate diagram. --

That's all well and good, but what exactly are you requesting? If you want a specific illustration to be created or modified then you are going to have to be more specific.

Vectorization: Emblem of the Office of Insular Affairs
Would someone be able to vectorize the seal of the United States Office of Insular Affairs? The current version is low-resolution, and I have been unable to find a decent high-quality version elsewhere. --

check trademarks part. If it's fine you can ask them for a SVG version or at least a bitmap with higher resolution to work from. --always ping me--

@
Goran tek-en: It appears to fall under PD-USGov, although
trademark rules do still apply, so that can be added as a separate tag on the new file page once uploaded. I'm unsure of who to reach out to regarding the logo, however, as there are a
few contact addresses listed on the website that could potentially be contacted.

Fictional flag of Hatay
Article(s)
Any article this file already features on.
Request
Could someone please modify the above file for the fictional flag of Hatay, so that it looks more like the way it should, as seen in
this link here. This would involve making the following changes:
The background should be a different shade of green.
The white border around the red emblem should be thicker.
The Arabic text on the emblem should be completely different (and not the shahada as the current file displays), and it should be the same green colour as the background, not gold.
Would like to see this vectorized. Unfornuately, given recent events, I doubt an official version would come out. Really, there are quite a few images in
Category:National Olympic Committee logos that could use vectorization, but this should be a simple job among someone who is knowledgeable. I did try it on my own, but I'm having difficulty on the ratios. For the experimental vector, I used
File:Flag of Afghanistan (2004–2013).svg and
File:Olympic rings without rims.svg, as well as a font called
'Inter' to simulate
Transport (using glyph G.1 to simulate the marked G). --

Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists logo
During a discussion on improving the Magic rules article (first at
AfD, and then continued on its
talk page), I found these two images on Wiki Commons which I think would be useful for this article. However, neither is in English, so the images need to be translated with updated English labels. Thanks! --

I would like to have the character extracted from the image, i.e., the heart, the red part, the cover etc all removed so that only Hinako remains on a transparent background. This is then intended as the main image for the article. Also, the resolution/size should be adjusted to conform to WP:NFCC#3b.

I would like to use an image of the ICL logo in the infobox for the
International Computers Limited article. There is something similar on the commons already, but it is low quality and adds the word "SERVICES". An SVG of just the ICL would be perfect.
I believe the orange color of the existing image is not correct. It is commonly found today, but I think it was added after the fact when they were purchased. I've included an image of the logo as found on the building, mostly white with a bit of orange "splash", which I also see on the drives (zoom in) so I believe that is the contemporary version.

Pbrks: Excellent! I'm surprised by the color, but looking about it seems roughly split between white and black versions. If it's not too much trouble, can you do one with a black hairline outline and white fill?
