[edit] Hamrar/Akureyri

A new center at Hamrar near Akureyri in the northern part of Iceland is in preparation. What is meant by "in preparation"? I already stayed there in 2004 --Wirthi 18:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English name

I checked out the National Scout Organisations, and the name of this organization in English is Icelandic Boy and Girl Scout Association. I think we should change it to that name. --evrik 22:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I made a redirect from the english translation (it is not their name, but a translation of their name) to current article. --Stalfur 12:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did Iceland WWII Scouting

Article(s): Bandalag íslenskra skáta

Request: Enlarge and SVGify. Kaboom88 gave it a whirl, it's really just too small. Kaboom88 can get the easy shapes (the outer fleur-de-lis, half-moon and bar below it), the remaining inner fleur-de-lis and triangles aren't detailed enough. -- Chris (talk) 05:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I uploaded an enlarged version (horrible though it may be) giving the details better than the first. > Rugby471 talk 07:50, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and the text reads ÍSLAND in caps. Chris (talk) 02:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll get this one. --Slashme (talk) 15:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! Chris (talk) 15:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, here is my attempt. I hope you like it. --Slashme (talk) 16:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Oops, fix some glitches... By the way, I'm not sure of my copyright info, so anyone who knows better is welcome to edit it.--Slashme (talk) 16:27, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
That is beautiful, thank you! Three points:
  1. there seems to be a section of blank space below the badge, saved into the graphic. can that be cut out?
  2. there are little partial splits on the left and right petals below ÍSLAND, like the one coming partway down the center petal, can you put that in?
  3. this badge has not been used since the late 1940s, so it should be okay on copyright

Thank you so much! Chris (talk) 16:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes, I see those now. Added them. Also changed linecap to "round" for a better look. --Slashme (talk) 16:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

What's "linecap"? Chris (talk) 22:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the splits on the petals, you'll see that the ends of the lines are rounded. That's the effect of setting the "linecap" attribute of the line to "round". The other options are "square" and "butt".--Slashme (talk) 05:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Beautiful, I can see it now, it's perfect, marking it done, thank you!
btw, what is "butt"? two rounded ends? ;) Chris (talk) 05:20, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
