Made an HD flag for the World Assembly

by **Nadhiya** » Mon Jul 25, 2016 4:50 pm

I made a high-resolution flag for the World Assembly, since I noticed the current one was a JPG image (not a good choice for images of flags!) and only 107x71 pixels. My new flag is a PNG and 1200x800 pixels.

It isn't perfectly symmetrical. Do you have a vectorised version?

Couldn't get it perfect, and, no, I couldn't find a vector image of the emblem thingy.

Well, I can't do jack about Vectors, but I have put together a Symmetrical Version.

Oh, and OP, I think that the low resolution of the World Assembly banner is intentional, it was never intended to be displayed in a way that would need a large-filesize/high-resolution image.

Solve with vectors. Small file size and infinite resolution.

Hi, SVG is the main standard for vector graphics. According to W3Schools, It has been in support since Chrome 4, IE9, Firefox 3, Safari 3.2 and Opera 10.1.

We have a vector version at: https://nsindex.net/wiki/File:Flag_of_t ... sembly.svg. We currently have a problem with hotlink protection (given that NSindex is NOT an image host), so it may help to open the URL in a new tab.

Excellent! I wish I'd known about this a while back. It would have saved me a fair bit of time re-creating a raster version. D'oh!

Very nice. Both this and the OP version have this curious green line between the leaves and the stems which looks kinda weird though. Probably looks better scaled down.

To me, it looks like an attempt to acknowledge that the Stems pass through each-other, without giving preference to either side.

I will work out a vector version of the original style shortly.

Update: I have finished that task:

https://nsindex.net/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_World_Assembly.svg ← 2008 version
https://nsindex.net/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_World_Assembly_(alternative).svg ← 2016 version

If the link does not work, open the URL(s) in a new tab.

This is the most peaceful discussion I've ever seen on the GA forum.

Hey you! I disagree with you, and I'm angry about it!
Is that any better?

By the way, the following link is why the image was changed. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=332880&p=23741135#p23741135

Oh yeah, well...

Yes, I agree, even the Condemn and Commend badges are so pixelated. We need much higher resolution and larger images on everything.

THIS IS 2016! GET WITH THE TIMES PEOPLE!

Meh, I prefer the old version.
