Request: cleanup and SVGify -- Chris 06:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Looking at the rate of progress on the emblems above, and the quality of this bitmap, I'd be surprised if it gets any attention soon. I might be a bit of a radical in this opinion, but I don't think -all- emblems should be svgified. Some, like this one, are better as bitmaps IMHO. But I'm just a junior member, and I can't speak for the other wikigraphists. --Slashme 16:34, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Don't jump to conclusions based on my Triestian[sic] request; I had neglected to provide information requested. Also, check out (one of) the best SVGs ever, Image:UK Royal Coat of Arms.svg that was done (and pretty quickly!) here. 68.39.174.238 19:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
1.4 MB [1] compared to 2.34 MB. I'd say that was a good deal. [1] I removed some stray code and re-uploaded it, it is now 1.4mb > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 18:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Here's a start... -- Kaboom88 06:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Might get some elements from this image Image:Flag of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (1953–1963).svg. > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 17:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- I found a close bird and a close big cat, both at the ostentatious Image:Coat of arms of Zambia.svg and Image:Malawi coa.png, as well as a 50 year old badge Image:Scouting in Nyasaland historic badge.png, which I have a larger one somewhere. Found the antelopes Image:Rhodesiancoatofarms.GIF Chris 05:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks Cronholm for running with the torch! Chris 16:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's still rough...Anything out there with higher quality? —Cronholm144 22:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

- I checked and checked and got a jumbo-sized bag o' nothin'. What do you feel is still to be done? Chris 22:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, well if you look close at the svg or the gif the features are basically undefined blobs, but if you think that is okay I'm okay too. The real reason I said it is incomplete is because I used the tracing tool (sort of) in inkscape when making the catfishbird and I think I could probably tweak a few things. But again, if your good so am I. Cheers—Cronholm144 00:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I am most pleased-it's vivid, faithful to the one image we can find through exhaustive searching, loses the graininess and scales well. I vote complete, and as always am most thankful to you. Chris 02:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
