    Could somebody please modify the above files representing the flag and coat of arms of Plomelin, so that they look closer to the way they actually should? The proper version of the flag can be seen here and here. And the full version of the arms can be seen here (albeit obviously without the captions at the top and bottom). Thanks.

    Is the dragon meant to be identical between the coat of arms and the flag? Just asking, since that coat of arms image that you sent is by far the highest quality version I've been able to find, so I'd like to use it as a reference for both.

    @DeVos Max: Yes, I agree that the dragon from the version of the COA in the link should be used as a reference in the update of both files. Thanks for your interest! Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:52, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      @Indefatigable2: what do you think is wrong with this font? i think it matches very well.
      there are to almost indentical files for this service mark, is there a meaningful difference? --Mrmw (talk) 18:14, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Yes, because the colors on this version are much closer to those in the official source (particularly the blue background, which is a darker as opposed to a lighter shade of blue). Also, while the font is close, it is definitely a different style from what's on the Air Force website. It should be possible to directly pull the font from the Air Force source, and vectorize it, but that is something above my personal skill level. Indefatigable2 talk 19:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Actually, it appears to me that the font used by the Air Force is simply "Times New Roman" or "Times" (or something very similar). So, it should be very easy for someone to adjust this. Indefatigable2 talk 19:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Bissau
      Request
      Hi! I was wondering if someone can kindly please vectorize the flag of Bissau, the capital city of Guinea-Bissau? It uses a Gyronny pattern that is typically used by Portuguese cities as Guinea-Bissau was previously a Portuguese colony. The flag uses a Gyronny pattern of black and red with the coat of arms of the city placed in front. I have included the former flag of Dili, the capital city of East Timor to use as a reference as this flag used Gyronny pattern while East Timor was a colony of Portgual. I also included a version of the Gyronny pattern flag of Ceuta, Spain that does not have a coat of arms on it to use as a base so the request can be done more quickly. I'll be grateful to see it done. Thanks in advance!--78.152.226.46 (talk) 22:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Image's request under progression Request taken. I'll put the right crown on the arms of Bissau first + make the flag. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 08:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Time for some feedback, I've been reading and searching for answers to questions that popped up.
      • This is a Portugese flag for Bissau with the crown of a capital city of one of their colonies. I would be surprised if this flag and Coat of Arms (CoA) were still used after 1974. They were symbols of a colonisor dictatorship, that was driven out of the country by over a decade of guerilla war, and we're talking about the official symbols of the capital. I presume that the name of the flag should be something like File:Flag of Bissau (1941-1974).svg. 1941 Being the year the capital was moved from Bolama to Bissau. 1974 Is the year of the downfall of the dictatorship and Guinea's independence. That would imply that these flags and CoAs should be removed from infoboxes of over 45 different language Bissau pages, and replaced by the new flag and CoA if they exist.
      • The correctness of the crown on the provided Bissau Coat of Arms.svg was disputed, so I searched its origin. This particular crown was used on a CoA of the Quebeqois town of Saint Lambert, which looks a lot different than the official design. If you're used to that version, you might not recognise our alternative design as being correct. But in order to establish whether a design is correct, we need to check if it does fit its description. To my surprise the Saint Lambert alternative design did fit the description.
      • Unfortunately, I was unable to find a reliable source for the provided Bissau design, probably due to my non existing Portugese language skills. I did find just one blog that talked about a red tower and two facing women with turbans, but it didn't cite any sources. FOTW (Flags Of The World) is generally not a reliable source, but in this case, a statement is posted which mentions a book (lgh66) about overseas CoAs as the source for the original picture.
      Book: Armorial do Ultramar Português (in English: Arms of Overseas Portugal) by F. P. de Almeida Langhans, publisher: Agência Geral das Colónias, Lisboa (Portugal) Language: Portuguese, first edition date: 1966.
      The pictures I've seen on the web, have a similar style like the Bissau CoA, so there's a good chance this is indeed our original source. If we take this picture as a good enough source, the provided svg's tower is much coarser than the original CoA, but I guess it would still fit the description. The crown design is definately different than the usual Portugese capital of a colony design on Commons, of which we have a few designs available. So, if only for consistency reasons, I still think we'd better use one of those.
      • We cannot simply ask the city of Bissau what their current flag and CoA are, as they don't have a website. If we have a team of correspondence, and they think it's important enough to find out, they might send a letter to the city council, or try to get in contact through the national regime?
      Groetjes, Peter (talk) 10:32, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Groetjes, Peter: Here is my help - Since 1930, the rules of Portuguese heraldry have been rigidly established and the flag discussed here complies with them. You can read about them in the Portuguese article on local heraldry. I also have two fairly reliable sources for the appearance of the flag and the year 1947 as the adoption of the coat of arms and de facto establishment of the appearance of the flags.[1][2] In Portugal, there are two types of municipal flags for different uses. In addition to the typical rectangular flag, there is also a square banner. I do not know, however, how to interpret the golden crown, specially dedicated to the coat of arms of the capital city of Lisbon, which breaks the above-mentioned rules, but since Bissau was the capital in a colony, there may be some sense behind it. I am providing a picture of such a banner proposed for the entire colony of Guinea in 1932. I found relatively little about Bissau, which is probably due in part to the city's short history compared to other colonial cities such as Luanda.
