Convert black (or maybe transparent ) background to white

Article(s): BT TV
Request: Please note — I am not looking for someone to fix this but for someone to tell me how to fix it because it is a common issue.

Please also note, the logo owner provided a new version, which I have uploaded - click on the image above to see the prior version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphilbrick (talk • contribs) 14:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many people send a logo to Wikimedia for use in an article, and I process a fair number of these requests. In some cases, the the logo has a black background, which is not desired. I don't think I've seen this with a.jpg file but it occasionally happens with a.PNG file. The typical sequence is that they provide an attached file, which I download and open in IrfanView to reduce the resolution. I then upload the resulting file to Wikipedia.

See this page in upper left, to see what it should look like.

I would like to learn how to convert the black background to white. My current process is to tell the provider of the logo that there was a problem with a logo and they often provide a JPEG file, but I'd like to learn how to correct the problem myself. -- S Philbrick (Talk) 13:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration

Stale

– FOX 52 (talk) 17:08, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The existing WikiProject logo
A better handshake symbol, if the hands and fingers could be filled with the two flag designs
A great collaboration image, which would be superb if the colours of the shirts of the little people could be changed to match the flag colours
A good option which has been converted into an svg by SiBr₄
This could work well if the hands were flag-colored
This could work well if the alternating pieces were flag-colored

Article(s): WP:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration and the corresponding 2016 WikiMania Poster proposed here

Request

I am working to broaden the appeal of this wikiproject, which was discussed by Jimmy Wales in a newspaper article in January. The existing logo (above left) is very unappealing, and the project would benefit from something slightly more professional. A couple of my ideas are shown in the images above, but I am not knowledgeable enough to know what is easily achievable. Oncenawhile (talk) 01:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some more ideas from the internet are below. I can't upload these for copyright.

Graphist opinion(s)

I actually made an SVG of the yin-yang emblem some time ago (now uploaded). Filling the handshake image with the flags should be relatively easy, as it is an SVG. The collaboration image will be harder, being a JPG, but probably doable by someone experienced with Photoshop or a similar raster editing program. SiBr₄ (talk) 20:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is great, thank you! I've added a couple of further ideas above. I'm concious that i'll need to get consensus from the wikiproject for whichever logo we propose. Which do you think will look the best?

Oncenawhile (talk) 08:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The figures building the puzzle globe is a great idea, and the only that is about collaboration and building the encyclopedia rather than Israeli-Palestinian peace in general. I don't have the raster editing skills to put in the flags, though some other people here, at WP:GL/PHOTO, in some of these categories, or even the image's original creator probably do.
