Shyamal has made a svg version based on the same concept image by Swapnil. Thanks to both of you. I suppose Srikanth will upload it and share a link.

so does that mean that files created in GIMP cant be printed in big sizes ?
Unlike svg files, other format images do not scale well. Some svg files can scale infinitely. Inkscape is available on Ubuntu as well. I took the liberty to add Shymal L to the loop. He's our resident expert for svg and inkscape issues. User:Planemad would be another, but he's recuperating from a fracture.

PNG version is not editable in Inkscape. If main creator create with Inkscape and share the same file , then it fine for editing.

You can use Inkscape on Ubuntu to edit files in SVG format.

Hi all,
I use Ubuntu and thus I work on GIMP. So I dont know how to create .SVG files. How about if I send you after converting them into .PSD files and then you can convert them into .SVG. Or you can tell me how to make .SVG files and I will send all the files again after converting them.
Thanks.
:)
Regards, Swapnil Narendra

Thanks for sharing - would definitely be appreciated if we had .SVG formats to use. We're encountering this problem with some of the really beautiful stuff people have uploaded on the Wikipedia 10 gallery on Commons - lots of great stuff, but it's all PNG, which means we can't print them off as big banners :(
So if anyone has the ability, would be great if you could also upload SVG versions alongside PNGs. Even if we can't get it done in time, would be great to have these as part of the historical record.
thanks!

Hi all, I am sharing the artwork for Wikipedia 10[1] which can be used in case

are printing banners etc.I would add more to this album. Thanks a lot Swapnil / Tony for getting these ready , great if we get some more :)
Others
interested please feel free to reuse and remix.
Hi Srikanth, Just have to say Wow. We have been looking for banners and that's a pretty cool set. The only issue seems to be they are .jpg format. For instance http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/b490xQZPNdtvp8QM3MYIyQa6_cLq7Y_qUKXLZst... e
It would be cool/better if you could put them as an .svg or something.
Also if there is somebody who could perhaps put Wikipedia Turns or something with the same thing in Devanagri script.
PS : I have shared it under CC, I am just lazy to upload to commons, will
do
so in the night. [1] http://picasaweb.google.com/srik.lak/WikipediaXLogosAndBanners?authkey=Gv1sR...
