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.
