[edit] Color of national emblem

Why is it green and not gold, the national color? What does the green signify? Chris 06:58, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] commentary wrongly included in article

“ According to the offical documentary which is called "Nguyen Ly Huong Dao", there is no Vietnamese flag badge on Scout Uniform. Besides, the situation of scouts in Vietnam is very complicated. The trusted informations I reckon that is only the theories of scouts, which were used in the past. ”

Request: merge the two, as the correct emblem has scroll and trefoil, but we do not have a light clean copy -- Chris 19:43, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

I don't understand what exactly you'd like us to do here? Do you want us to fix up the second image so it resembles the first picture's colour? XcepticZP 21:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, a fusion of the two-the brightness and crispness of the first but with the added elements of the second. Chris 23:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Done. -- Kaboom88 01:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
That is really close, and beautiful work as always, thank you!; however the red and the green need to be much lighter like the first one. Also, there are diacritical marks over the letters. It should be Sắp Sẵn, except in capital letters. Chris 06:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I fixed the first one (I don't know what I was thinking there).
On the second one, I changed it to reflect the badge more (it's appearance is quite decieving on how easy it should be to draw). On the scripting, I agree that it should read "Sắp Sẵn" in caps, but these markings are not in the original. I can also only find à Á in the character map. I'm also a little confused about the colors for the second one. You want the red and green from the first one to be used in the second one, right? Only asking because they of course appear quite a bit darker than the colors in Image:Vietnam1loghdcopy.jpg, and even if the picture was altered or if the original badge in the picture was stained or something, I don't think they would change as much as you are saying. -- Kaboom88 08:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, please use the lighter green and lighter red for all badges, it shows up much better. Thanks again! Chris 09:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
These are beautiful, thank you gentlemen! Trying them on several different monitors, the light red may actually be too light against the gold details. For contrast sake, can we try a couple of notches back up, but not yet to the deep brick red? Thank you! Chris 05:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Found a better monitor, it's beautiful, done! Chris 22:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
