Is there anybody who can make Graveborn and Sorin vs. Tibalt? The others are future sets, so nobody has hi-res images of the symbols yet, but those two should be doable. I wish I could make SVGs somehow, but I'm not an artist. Anything anybody can do to help get these made?

When you´re a goblin, you don´t have to step forward to be a hero -- everyone else just has to step back.

For those getting errors, you need to right click and save the link.

And I too have tried making expansion symbols. I suck majorly at it. :(

If you have the time/motivation, could you do the M14, Hero's vs Monsters and From the Vault: 20 symbols? I included pics in a zip on the previous page. I am not sure if they are good enough quality to be of use though.

Problems clicking on the links is because slightlymagic.net doesn't serve SVGZ files correctly.

Try this one for example, the test SVGZ I was using on my server.
http://ark42.com/mtg/svg/Modern%20Masters_Common.svgz

You need the following two lines in a .htaccess file to serve SVGZ files properly:
Code: Select all
AddType image/svg+xml svg svgz
AddEncoding gzip svgz
Slightlymagic.net is adding the correct content type header:
Code: Select all
Content-Type: image/svg+xml
But it is not indicating that the data is compressed properly.
My server is sending an additional HTTP header that slightlymagic.net is not:
Code: Select all
Content-Encoding: gzip

Yeah, those aren't vectors. They're just raster graphics.

Awesome. I'm really looking forward to this megapack compilation from BaconCatBug now. It seems the web is finally ready for SVG and I can make great use of them on http://ark42.com/mtg/boxlabeler.php

Awesome. I'll update the pack with M14 :)

Edit: Your M14 is missing the outer orange border, as seen here.

I corrected it. :)

As always, thank you Mr Goblin for your outstanding work!

If anyone is willing and/or able to vectorise the Future Sight card type indicators and colour indicators, please PM me!

Pro Tour, Grand Prix, and Arena League vector logos attached. They appeared as watermarks on several of their respective promo cards.

I'm working on some miscellaneous stuff. I'd like 300 DPI scans of the following so that I may process these in photoshop for transparent backgrounds and layering. I'll share the results.

1) Does anybody own the old Duelist Magazine Companion Inserts? The arced Duelist Magazine logo appeared on an oversized promo Juzam Djinn. See attached.

2) How about The CardZ Magazines? I could use a scan of the mag logo to make the vector for promo Phyrexian Rager.

3) Also the old Dengeki Maoh Magazines (see attached) - the mag logo appears as a watermark on some japanese promos including Shepherd of the Lost.

4) Also the logo for the Japanese Manga with Chandra, see attached. Used on Kuldotha Phoenix

Thanks!

Are you looking for scans of the cards or the actual magazines in question?

Just one page from each magazine, please. You might need to flip through to find the largest, un-obstructed logo possible...
