[edit] Summary

Seal of the United States City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Image created by uploader using Corel Draw. Because of the complexity of the drawing, the results of an SVG export (both through Corel Draw and SVG Factory) were unacceptable and thus the image had to be uploaded as a large PNG. If you have any information on how a useable SVG might be created from the Corel Draw graphic, please leave me a message on my talk page.

The drawing was based on Image:Bridgeport Seal.gif, Image:Bridgeportflag.jpeg an image found here [[1], and on Title 1, Chapter 1.08 of the Bridgeport Municipal code found here [2]:

The seal of the city shall be as follows: in the center is an anvil supporting a shield, within which is a dexter arm suspending a hammer, and above which is shown the rising sun. Above the shield the American eagle, holding in his beak the motto "Industria Crescimus." On the right, a section of bridge and railroad train; on the left, a ship, steamboat, freight houses and elevator. In the foreground, a horn of plenty, cogwheel, fire engine and articles of machinery. In the background, views of factories, churches and other buildings. Encircling the whole are the letters and figures following: "Seal of the city of Bridgeport, Incorporated 1836." Such seal, represented as aforesaid shall be, and is established to be, the common seal of the city. (Prior code § 2-1)

(Note that most graphic representations of the seal do not follow the code explicitly.)
