Warren County NY CR template needed
For many years, Warren County, New York used little blue tabs for county route "shields". In the recent months as photos have shown, they have joined several New York counties in signing County Routes with the normal pentagon (see here for an example on CR 35). In the time between, Commons has a full set of the tabs. We need a new set of Warren CRs made for pentagons. This leads me to my next question, do we want to upload over the tab svgs or move the tabs to a new filename and upload the pentagons on it? What can we do here?Mitch32(Transportation Historian) 04:32, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'd move the old ones to a new name and upload the new style to the current name. Imzadi 1979 → 05:06, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, if for no other reason than Commons probably won't let us do otherwise. – TMF 14:15, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- A note to anyone interested in making the pentagons: based on the linked photo and several others I've seen, I'm pretty sure that the county's using yellow-on-black shields, not the standard yellow-on-blue or a variant of the standard blue. – TMF 14:14, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- I concur with this assessment. There seem to be a few yellow-on-blues, but from pictures, most seem to be yellow-on-black. –Fredddie™ 23:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
PA Cutout Templates
Its becoming pretty necessary that we need cut-out templates for Pennsylvania. PennDOT / PennDOH has used 3 main shields before the current keystone. 1926, the most important one I need to send to HRMB, 1948 and 1960. Can I request at least the 26 and 48 ones be made as soon as possible?Mitch32(Erie Railroad Information Hog) 22:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Accepted. –Fredddie™ 00:20, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- What is the status on this? --Rschen7754 17:57, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- The 1926 cutout is made, just waiting on the 1948 and 1960 ones. Dough4872 04:43, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- What is the status on this? --Rschen7754 17:57, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. –Fredddie™ 18:56, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
Is it possible to get an example of the 1948 shield made for 161 so I can send a request to HRMB? Dough4872 00:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- I now have an example of the 1948 shield made. Dough4872 04:52, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
St. Johns County Road shields
I could request other Florida county road shields, but for now I'm requesting St. Johsn's CR 5A, CR 13A, CR 13B, CR 203, CR 204, CR 208, and CR 305 for the List of county roads in St. Johns County, Florida, Florida State Road 13, and any relevant road articles. CR 13 already has a shield, but for some reason it won't show up on the county road list. After that, I've got to decide on which other counties I want to get fixed. ----DanTD (talk) 19:20, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Florida SRs 39A, 200A, and a Hudson County, NJ CR glitch
There are two bew Florida State Road shields that are needed; Florida State Road 39A, and Florida State Road 200A, both of which are intended for the completion list, as well as the the general list, amd new sections for Florida State Road 39 and Florida State Road 200 on related routes. While we're at it, for some unexplained reason, the File:Hudson County Route 621 NJ.svg refuses to show up in the infobox it was intended for. I'd like to see this fixed, despite the fact that I plan on moving the Pacific Avenue (Hudson County) article into a Rockland County style list of Hudson County Roads. ----DanTD (talk) 20:32, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- The reason behind CR 621's shield not working was very well explained on WT:USRD a couple weeks ago. {{Infobox road}} was looking for the shield at Media:Hudson County 621.svg. I moved file linked above to that title and it works now. –Fredddie™ 20:51, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, but they still need shields. ----DanTD (talk) 11:37, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Arkansas Heritage Trails
I know there hasn't exactly been a lot of interest in my last request, but I was wondering if anyone would be able to make a shield for the new Arkansas Heritage Trail network? I think it would come in handy on many Arkansas highway articles. The Bottom banner wouldn't be part of the file. Thanks a lot. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 17:57, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- In recent weeks, I've discovered how to extract stuff from PDFs. If you can get in touch with AHTD, and they're willing to provide you with a PDF, we can work with that. This would apply to both requests. –Fredddie™ 22:24, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Email sent. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 23:33, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- If you get a bite, see if you can get the plans for Interstate, US Highway, and state highway shields. I'm fairly confident what we have is correct (or really, really close) , but I'd like to know where exactly the suffixes are supposed to go. :) –Fredddie™ 05:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- I got a JPEG of the Arkansas Heritage Trail logo. Will that work/what should I do with it? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 16:06, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
- Today I got a TIFF of the round Arkansas Scenic Byways shield. Please advise what should happen next. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 02:57, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Awesome! They are images and not drawings like you'd find in the SHS, correct? If they are drawings, we can simply make the files per the specs and upload to Commons. If they are images, we need to determine their copyright status. Someone else who knows more about copyrighted images than I should comment now. –Fredddie™ 03:29, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

- I am not entirely sure what SHS means in this context, but they are basically the "logos" that go on the signs. The question of copyrighted/not/don't know is beyond me. I can tell you they came from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program abd AHTD respectively. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 03:35, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Standard Highway Signs. As for the copyright status, I would email someone at AHTD's legal department. If they don't know, they should at least be able to point you to someone who does know. –Fredddie™ 03:47, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

- That's reassuring, but it's not a sure thing. There may be a state law saying works by the government are copyrighted. Also, have you tried asking for drawings for the state highway markers? –Fredddie™ 17:04, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

- The Public Affairs Department said the Arkansas Scenic Byway shield is not copyrighted or trademarked. They were not sure about public domain status or whatever, just said it should not be used for commercial use. What do we do next? This is probably the best answer I am going to get, the Legal/Maintenance/Public Affairs Dept all say the same thing. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 15:12, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

- I was able to extract it just fine in Inkscape and I emailed a copy to Brandon. I'm concerned about what Brandon said about AHTD mentioning no commercial use. CC-BY-SA-NC is a no go for Wikimedia. –Fredddie™ 02:09, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Florida SR/CR 249 & 694
The article on Florida State Road 249 had a Hamilton County Road shield that disappeared from the infobox, but what it really needs is a generic CR 249 shield, because the county-maintained portion is both in Suwannee and Hamilton Counties. Additionally the Pinellas CR 694 shield needs to be revived for the Florida State Road 694 infobox. There are probably some others out there, but I don't feel like looking for them right now. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 05:21, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- I renamed the files on Commons. The generic shield request is
unfulfilleddone. –Fredddie™ 01:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)- Why a generic shield for 249? Why not a shield each for both counties? → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 02:06, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- To reduce clutter. It's a different article, but at one point, we had this. Compare that with the next diff. –Fredddie™ 02:18, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- OK. I did not know there was a precedent. Thanks. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 02:24, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Freddie's right. Originally, the standard allowed multiple county shields, but it was narrowed down. For the record, I know of some other articles that should have their county-specific shields replaced with generic county road shields; Florida State Road 235 is one example, because it has county maintained segments in Alachua and Bradford Counties. The Alachua CR 235A segment is okay as it is, though. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 03:24, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Maine Turnpike
Can I please have a shield for Maine Turnpike like the one seen here? Dough4872 19:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

- Standard MUTCD green and gold star. While I am not 100% sure, the shield design is from before 1978 and may not have been registered so it may be PD. Also the design may be simple enough to qualify as PD. Dough4872 19:56, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

1926 U.S. shields for Pennsylvania
I would like to request 1926-style Pennsylvania U.S. shields for the following routes: 1, 6, 6N, 11, 13, 15, 19, 20, 22, 30, 40, 46, 62, 106, 111, 119, 120, 122, 140, 202, 206, 209, 219, 220, 222, 224, 230, 240, 309, 322, 422, 522, 611, 622, and 711. If possible, a template can be set up to have HRMB make them. Dough4872 02:26, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- The template was already created for a request above, and a bunch of signs were already completed by HRMB. Already completed:
- According to www.pahighways.com the following roads were never assigned, so these markers were not created: 20, 30, 40, 111, 119, 122, 140, 206, 209, 219, 220, 322, 422, 522, 622
- These roads were first signed after 1948, so they never conformed to that 1926 sign specification, so they were not created: 106 (1972), 120 (1967), 240 (1966), 309 (1968), 611 (1972)
- I am not sure how I missed 22, so I can do that. I can also do 6N, or any of the above but I would want to know why they are needed. --Svgalbertian (talk) 03:55, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Bot templates for MN needed
This is a semi-urgent request, as every time I turn around someone else is tagging old PNGs I made to be moved to Commons. We all know that once on Commons they will never be deleted no matter how useless, so I'd like to have the bot create complete sets for the three past styles of MN route markers so I can go through and speedy all of my uploads so they won't have to be dealt with again.
I need a template and/or example the bot can use made from the following:
- These first two will have to be done by hand, unfortunately, which sucks. We're not cool enough to have a block font. When I made those, I included the numbers hidden away in the file for that reason. –Fredddie™ 00:05, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

North Carolina US Highway Alt Signage
North Carolina has several US Highway signs that utilize the "A" instead of a banner for "Alternate." I'm requesting several historical signs and a few current signs here. The historical signs should look like these 1940s cut-outs: Historic Shields Examples The current signs can either use a dash Example 1 or without Example 2 (though the standard new ones are with a dash, there always are exceptions). So here's the first list: Bannered routes of U.S. Route 13 (Historical), Bannered routes of U.S. Route 19 (Both Historical and Current), Bannered routes of U.S. Route 64 (Both Historical and Current w/dash), U.S. Route 158 (Both Historical and Current), Bannered routes of U.S. Route 301 (Historical), and U.S. Route 421 in North Carolina (Historical). Thank you in advance! --WashuOtaku (talk) 23:11, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

- Thank you for completing the first request. Now for a follow-up request of a few more: Bannered routes of U.S. Route 17 (Historical only), U.S. Route 29 (Historical & Current), Bannered routes of U.S. Route 52 (Historical only), Bannered routes of U.S. Route 70 (Historical & Current), Bannered routes of U.S. Route 74 (Historical and fix Current width {should be wider}), and U.S. Route 264 (Historical only). Also, there is an issue in the coding where some of the bannered "Alternate" routes are not appearing for North Carolina, can that be looked into and fixed? Thank you again! --WashuOtaku (talk) 23:11, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the template can't know routes should be bannered and which should be suffixed. I'll have to create another type. –Fredddie™ 23:52, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Historic Illinois Route markers
We don't have templates for the original Illinois route markers used from the start of the state route system through the 1960s. Could someone please make them, so I can get the route marker bot to make the rest of the shields? There are different versions for 2-digit and 3-digit routes; they can be seen here in the 1963 state MUTCD, and the 1924 state highway map has a better quality version of the 2-digit shield. There's also a separate version for suffixed routes, but the only image I can find of one is terrible quality; nonetheless, it would be nice if someone could make a template. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 00:31, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- I have a few questions to winnow down (or maybe expand) your request. You're looking for the long, IL-shaped route marker, correct? It looks like we're going to need multiple versions of this marker. If you look closely, rather than reduce the size of the number to fit within the state shape, the state shape was cut into two lines to make room for the number (see ILL 277 on the MUTCD page listed above). Now, since we're here, would you like a 1960-era, Indiana-style marker with larger numbers as well? –Fredddie™ 16:52, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- I made the 1960-era shield first since I knew it would be easy. It appears that one is always square regardless of the number. Then I discovered we had neither a current square nor wide template, so I made those, too. –Fredddie™ 18:08, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- {{done}}. The 1926 version requires the block font. –Fredddie™ 19:40, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- I should note, I didn't do anything for suffixed shields. The route marker bot can't do them anyway, so we'll just make them as one-offs. –Fredddie™ 19:42, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! Does needing the block font affect whether the route marker bot can make the 1926 shields? Also, could you please make a 1926-era 3-digit sign too, for routes like Illinois Route 175 that were cancelled in the 1930s? TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 02:41, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Everything I saw showed the numbers fitting within the state shape, so I don't think a special shield is necessary. I could be wrong, though. –Fredddie™ 03:01, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think Svgalbertian (talk · contribs), who maintains the bot, has the block fonts. I'll contact him. –Fredddie™ 03:04, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Request various U.S. highway shields
Hello, here is another request for more shields. This is for List of U.S. Highways in South Carolina, where I need some of the following:
- US Highway 1926 or 1950 shields for: US 15, US 21, US 29, US 117, US 176, and US 217. They are going to look like this US 301 (1926) or this US 221/US 378. I plan to use this style for all highways existing before 1961, when the black background shields started in use. This might also be the trickiest part, a lot of these will be use for bannered routes, and for Alternate routes in South Carolina, they spelled out "Alternate" up until the modern version where they use "ALT" as currently coded. Is there a way to time set the Alternate banners on shields from 1926 version through 1961 version?
Also, I need the following versions for Bannered routes of U.S. Route 25: US 25A (1950 version) (similar to US 29A) and US 25 Bypass in small script above the numbers for Georgia (see example here), the second which may need coding or not, both US 25 bypasses are like this with no banner on top. As always, thank you. --WashuOtaku (talk) 02:56, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

- This one is actually 1948-era. I will have some free time tomorrow, so I'll create the block font shields then. –Fredddie™ 23:20, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- You mean like this? This is what the 1927 map shows a being used.
- P.S. 1926 has "State Route (number) Ohio", I added block to the template after making the first two.Detcin (talk) 00:03, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Not exactly, but I corrected it. Round fonts didn't come around until the late 1940s and wide shields came well after that. –Fredddie™ 02:48, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Ohio used a more rounded text for "OHIO" starting with 1927, see. It looks like Detour is still block font, but "OHIO" in the state shield is some type of rounded font. The 1926 state shield had all block font. Detcin (talk) 15:37, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Not exactly, but I corrected it. Round fonts didn't come around until the late 1940s and wide shields came well after that. –Fredddie™ 02:48, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Let's construct the timeline just so we have it right.
1920 | 1924? | 1926 | 1948 | 1960 | Current |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Same as 1920 colors different |
|||||
[7] | [8] | [9] | [10] |
This is the research that I have done on Ohio shields. Up until the current Ohio shields came into use, all Ohio SR shields were cutout Ohio shapes. In 1920, they said "STATE ROUTE 32 OHIO" all in the block font. Starting in 1926, they simply said "Ohio 32", but still in the block font. The rounded fonts were created for the 1948 MUTCD, and that's when the shield changed from block to round fonts. I saw a few pictures of block OHIO, round numbers, but those seem to be anomalies. Around 1962, they dropped OHIO from the shields and made the number bigger. The current version came into being in the 1970s. –Fredddie™ 16:24, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- On the 1926 map it shows the 1920 shield and calls it the "Official State Route Marker". The 1927 map shows just Ohio and the number and calls it the "Official Markers". I found this scroll almost to end and on right shows a yellow 1920 style, that was token in 1926 and it would have been after the US highways because SR 1 and US 40 (signed as SR 40) were concurrent with the National Road. Only SR 1 through SR 10 carried a Auto Trail name, so it could not have been SR 40. Btw the 1923 shield was black(or some color), see, background with white font. Most of the routes got signed in 1923, the designations before 1923 was only on paper for most route, but since the picture above is SR 1 (National Road) it could have been signed in the shield. Something that I though of is that ODOHPW became ODOH in late 1927, so could that have been the change to the shields. Detcin (talk) 19:10, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yellow was a popular color for state highway shields in the pre-US Highway era (Iowa, Minnesota, and Oklahoma each had them off the top of my head), so I uploaded one in yellow and added it to the table. –Fredddie™ 20:53, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- The newer shield with Ohio and number, like the 367 shield above, were placed around July of 1927, New System of Markers to be Used in State (center of newspaper). The change was in conjunction with the U.S. Routes being signed. This also is would make the change available for the 1927 map. Detcin (talk) 19:34, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Can you please make a shield for Farm to Market Road 2469 article I created? I feel it sticks out like a sore thumb to have the article's photo as a red link. DudeWithAFeud (talk) 09:38, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

2 FL country roads: CR 526A and CR 788
Hello, This will be the first of several requests from me as I'm working to clear the backlog at Category:Articles with missing files. Could someone please create the shields for the following files: File:Sumter County Road 788 FL.svg and File:CR 526A jct.svg? They will be used on List of county roads in Sumter County, Florida, where similar shields can be found. Thanks! - tucoxn\talk 08:43, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

More missing shields from Articles with missing files
Hi again shield makers :) A few more missing images found:
- List of county roads in Flagler County, Florida missing File:Flagler County Road 1424 FL.svg
- List of highways in Reeves County, Texas missing File:Old Texas 192.svg
- List of highways in Sonora (and thus Sonora State Highway 163) missing File:HIGHWAYSON 163.jpg - original version deleted 21 June 2009
- List of Nebraska numbered highways missing File:US 30A.svg
- List of numbered highways in South Carolina missing File:South Carolina 214.svg and File:South Carolina 218.svg
Cheers — KylieTastic (talk) 14:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
- I made the Florida CR shield at File:Flagler County 1424.svg, which is the new naming convention for those shields. I do not have the fonts for the Texas or Sonora shields. US 30A was decommissioned in 1970 and I do not have photos of how the shield looked in the past (the current US shield was implemented in 1971). Also, the two South Carolina routes are decommissioned and I do not have a date in which these routes were deleted as to determine which shield to make. South Carolina recently changed their design for their shields. Dough4872 01:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

More missing shields from Articles with missing files
Hi again, last of the missing shields I found yesterday...
- List of highways numbered 401 missing

- List of Illinois Routes missing File:Illinois 127A (1926).svg
- List of state highways in Vermont missing File:Vermont 104B (1955).svg
Cheers — KylieTastic (talk) 18:38, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- I made the Elongated circle shields for 401 and 564 and the TN 451 shield (the correct title for that is File:Tennessee 451.svg). I did not make a shield for TN 421 as all I had to do was switch the title to the correct shield that already existed. I did not do the US 401 or IL 127A shields as they require block font (the IL 127A shield should be based off the File:Illinois 00 (1926).svg template since it was decommissioned in 1937). I also did not make the VT 104B shield because that route was decommissioned in the late 1950s and Vermont appeared to use a different square shield then see here.

- Done, but waiting for Canada –Fredddie™ 00:40, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers Fredddie, sorry about missing that the other one was Canada - I wanted to get a request in before I headed too bed and was a bit hasty. Thanks again KylieTastic (talk) 13:01, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
- @KylieTastic: there is WP:HWY/RM, which is the analogous request page for route markers globally through WikiProject Highways... That page was created by someone from the Australian Roads project, so it could be an option. Also, our Canadian friend is fairly active in this project, so he'll see the ping and help out in due time. Imzadi 1979 → 16:47, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
- To be honest that whole lot needs to be redone, but I have to redownload flash and make them all again. Is there a reason it's required at this time? - Floydian τ ¢ 05:10, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- There has been a concerted effort to clearing the backlog wrt the list of articles with missing files, which is great and I'm all for it. That being said, WP:NODEADLINE still applies. –Fredddie™ 09:13, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- Someone else has already removed the file link from the article so the flag on Category:Articles with missing files was cleared - but that isn't really the best solution (I also noticed that road 1 also has no image). I guess the question is do people think that this should be just left as is now, create just those missing ones (even if not perfect), or is there a list of future to-do jobs that the highways project groups have as Floydian indicated they all need re-doing for some reason. — KylieTastic (talk) 13:02, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- I will mark this to be archived. I agree with Floydian's sentiment that they all need to be redone (in SVG) at some point in the future. When that will be, I don't know. –Fredddie™ 03:10, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Someone recently updated the List of State Routes in Connecticut to include CT 62. The sign for this road is currently set for File:Connecticut Highway 62.svg.

- Are you sure? for example has a different (less-accurate) border than , and the font is different. --NE2 03:53, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Tennessee State Route 220 Alt
This is a rather odd shield, the route is near Atwood TN, it goes from SR-220 to US-70A. The Route it is not shown on Google maps but is on street view. To find the shield you go to the intersection of US-70 at West Carroll Jr / Sr high school on street. It is also shown on the 2014 Tennessee Transportation Map. --ACase0000 (talk) 23:50, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting. I'm on the fence on whether or not we should make it, especially if it's a one-off shield. For those who can't find it, it's the secondary shield with ALT beneath the 220. @ACase0000: if you can find another instance of this, I will have no problem doing this. –Fredddie™ 00:14, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- It wouldn't be the first state that has only one active Alternate State Highway/Route, see North Carolina. I wasn't able to find another Alt SR in Tennessee, but it is on the 2014 TDOT map. --WashuOtaku (talk) 00:35, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Fredddie: you can also find the shield on SR-220 at Johnson Road intersection there is one on both sides. @Washuotaku: there are two other routes in TN that have alternate routes, they are SR-22 and SR-69 but they are signed with just an A beside the 22 and 69. --ACase0000 (talk) 05:05, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Crowley's Ridge Parkway
File:Crowleys Ridge Scenic Byway AR sign.jpg (image is currently fair use)
Would it be possible to make a svg version of the Crowley's Ridge Parkway sign and/or the circular logo within for Arkansas scenic byways? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 00:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- Are the two smaller logos already available on Commons or elsewhere? If so, the hardest part would be finding the font of the text. –Fredddie™ 03:49, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think so. The best I could do for the top logo is this. The bottom round logo is the National Scenic Byway logo. There is one of the Arkansas scenic byway signs (somewhat) near me though if it ends up I have to take a picture, but I'm not sure how to get the National logo or the font. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 16:33, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- In the interest of moving this along, I drove and photographed the Arkansas Scenic Byways marker that is cosigned with all Arkansas Scenic Byways. Could the circular shield be made? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 16:35, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- It almost looks like Arial font, but I can't be too sure about that. pj3970 06:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

After re-reading the STF guidelines, we can't make an SVG of something that is fair use. Until that fair use image is no longer not-free, it's no can do. The byway request is still open, though. –Fredddie™ 23:27, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- What about these at right? Or are you saying the shield itself isn't possible? Brandonrush Woo pig soooooooie! 23:40, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- I should have said an SVG of the shield is not possible per WP:NFCC#3b (low resolution only). SVG is not limited by resolution, but a low-resolution PNG could be created. –Fredddie™ 23:47, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- That's not totally true though. There is {{SVG-logo}} which says: "This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or copyrighted logo. If non-free content restrictions apply, this image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. See Wikipedia:Logos." That means we can make SVGs of non-free media, so long as we don't display them any larger than necessary. Remember that MediaWiki converts all SVGs into PNGs, and it's the PNGs that are displayed in the web browser for the end reader. Imzadi 1979 → 02:35, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Here is some progress, finally. I was able to extract the wordmark from the brochure linked from the article. Since you can't copyright text, we should be fine in that respect. @Brandonrush: do you still want the shield or is the wordmark Good Enough™? –Fredddie™ 16:36, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delayed response. I think a shield without the two circular logos would be good. We can cross the circular emblem bridge later (hopefully). Thanks for your work Fredddie, I appreciate it. Brandonrush Woo pig soooooooie! 00:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
