[edit] Attention tag

Expand the lead a bit, and put in some paragraphs on the programs (not just bullets), and this would be a B-class article. Rlevse 11:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Can someone put this text Image:Indianamestrip.jpg into the organization name on the article? Thanks Chris 04:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did India old Scout emblem

Indtrim.jpg

age has stretched and distorted the original design

map, colored correct shade and essential perspective

Article(s): The Bharat Scouts and Guides

Request: correct for perspective (as Ilmari Karonen did with the Argentine flags, using http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/perspective/en.shtml or somehow) and lighten coloration. It's close, but not exactly right. Even if it needs to be made from a photo into a graphic. -- Chris 07:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: It looks like I'm the official "can't do guy" today, but this one is harder to correct for perspective than a flag, as it is unclear what the correct perspective would be. Do you have even a poor-quality image with the correct perspective to compare it with? If not, maybe you could make a sketch indicating what the correct perspective would be? --Slashme 09:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I also tried it with hugin, but couldn't get it to correct it, so I went to GIMP and did it manually, I also corrected the lighting, but to be honest, the lighting wasn't that bad to begin with so it didn't make so much of a difference. > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 12:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry I got so eager I started on an SVG, though it is pretty rough. I do need however need the phrase at the bottom as I can't quite make it out. Please do state any changes you wish to be made. > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 13:37, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Well done on the perspective. The text to my untrained eye seems to say "Boy scouts India". --Slashme 15:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Good? > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 18:05, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

That is _great_, Rugby, (both the perspective one and the svg) and both faithful to the original badge and to the geography itself. I goofed around with a subcontinent map, there are very few differences, you may or may not want to tweak the India shape. The text is actually ALL CAPS, and does indeed read BOY SCOUTS INDIA. The stars on the fleur-de-lis are actually hollow, and could be either khaki-tan like the base cloth, or gold like the scroll, I have seen both. Thanks, this is beautiful!
ps-once there, the green should be deeper and the red a bit more primary. Thanks again! Chris 02:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I uploaded over Rugby's, because of the non free thing(feel free to revert), the text got lost but I tweaked it so it will be easy for him to finish up if he likes my version. Think of this as a hit and run improvement. Cheers—Cronholm144 05:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
PS I just realized that I gave it the wrong shade of green... o_0 Cronholm144 05:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Changed colours and the text wouldn't display because it was a text on a path, mediawiki doesn't support that (among other things..) and so you have to convert it to path. Anything else ? > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 07:24, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Oops forgot to switch to path... like I said, this is a drive by, so I leave the rest to you. ;)—Cronholm144 08:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Oww !! ° ° <---- Drive-by

> Rugby471 talk ⚔ 08:37, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Gentlemen (Cronholm thank you also for your drivebys, you two are anchors!)
  • Can the emblem be moved sukoshi up on the map image? It seems like more of the bottom peninsula sticks out at the bottom. I would estimate it needs moved only about the height of one of the stars on the badge, so the whole is a little more centered top-to-bottom on the map.

*Can you dial back the green two shades lighter? It should be about the depth of the donation thermometer presently displayed at the top of all pages for the fund-drive. *Can you replace the text BOY SCOUTS INDIA, or does that really need to wait until the end?

  • There's a little blip that looks like an island on the west side. It's not really there. My map was crude. Can it be removed?
Thanks again for all your hard work! Chris 22:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Done ! > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 07:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Beautiful, you guys, thank you! A round of Photoshop for everyone, on me! :) Chris 11:35, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
