National Gallery Singapore: aerial view[edit]

Reference

Article(s): w:National Gallery Singapore

Request: Just inspired by above photo, which was taken in 2011. After two building were converted to National Gallery Singapore, I see it would be meaningful to take photo again for the same site and the similar viewpoint. It would be nice if anyone who have a drone to do so. 😀 -- Great Brightstar (talk) 17:47, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Original photographer here; I shot it from the top of Marina Bay Sands with a superzoom (Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38) so a drone isn't needed. Good luck! cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment: If you prefer, what about using a genuine red colour logo that seems to be current, per the above third image? Ww2censor (talk) 22:45, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ww2censor: Thank you for your idea. If the red one it's the official logo, it's better to use it. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 07:29, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

(Edit conflict) @MrKeefeJohn: If all you need is a good logo, why not search online for a straight on logo like I just did here [1]? If you find one, it's quicker and the result is better then trying to extract it from a photo and then alter the perspective to make it look about right. My 2¢ worth. Ww2censor (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ww2censor: I use only images already in Commons, I do not upload new files. That's why I ask it. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 10:58, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@MrKeefeJohn: you can request files at Commons:File requests and probably obtain a better result, for logos, than cropping from an existing file. BTW, don't forget to add {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} below each request when you have a received a solution. Ww2censor (talk) 11:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

@MrKeefeJohn: Did you know you can crop these images yourself by using the CropTool that can be activated in your commons Preferences, under Gadgets. The CropTool will then appears in the left side of your screen. It saves everyone a lot of time because it transfers all the correct and appropriate information into the cropped image, such as source, license, author, etc. It even leaves a backlink to the original and visa versa so long as the original has been positively reviewed. That way all the proper information is there and does not need to be manually reviewed by volunteers. If you are just cropping a small bit of the image like a frame you can decide to overwrite the original image but for more major crops you should upload the copped version as a separate new image, but you have a choice. You can save time and effort of other editors by using the CropTool. Ww2censor (talk) 13:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ww2censor: I didn't, but now I know. Very good advice. Thank you very much. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 13:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Request: This illustration was already restored with the fine work of PawełMM.
