Multi-colored background needs to be adjusted to one color
An electrical clock, given out by Fisk Tires to customers who purchased a tire. The clock dates to between 1930 & 1934. (The shown boy insignia was ONLY used by the company betw. those years.) This picture is viewable at Commons in the category "The Fisk Tire Company, Inc."
Request
Hello. I uploaded this picture because of its high quality. On the negative side, the background is distracting. It seems like the American Flag make up parts, for instance. My desire is to have one solid color all around the tire to the edges (without reducing in size). My basic image editor can't crop along a circular pattern (only rectangular style). I reckon any ONE background color would do, except for black since that would blend in with the color of the tire (around rim of clock). Maybe a light gray but any non-black.

@JoKalliauer: These clocks were MASS produced in the early 1930s. Genetic (not unique). They all look ALIKE, except some in better shape that others. I've noticed other pics at Commons with same conditions (as my stated), and no problem with them. Jim Percy (talk) 19:40, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@JoKalliauer: I touched up the description page to explain better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimPercy (talk • contribs) 19:57, 25. Mai 2019 (UTC)
@JoKalliauer: I'm the one who cropped and propped the image from my computer, and then uploaded it to Commons. It's a collector's item, which was once posted for sell on the Internet. I was pointing out it's a generic item, and not personal in nature. My reply to your direct question would be: "unknown." So delete if necessary, but too bad since the imagine is of such good quality and would have served well as an illustration. Jim Percy (talk) 21:15, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, could someone please redraw the above flag of the fictional nation of Manetheren as SVG, and also give it a blue background (as the flag is described in The Shadow Rising book as being a red eagle on a blue field, not a white one).

Wording on graphic is partially translated from the Spanish. Requesting that "Glaciar" be changed to "Glacial" -- Quisqualis (talk) 23:57, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone please create an SVG file of the flag of the fictional nation of Cairhien, which is described in the TWOT books as being a golden sunburst on a blue field. This rendition of the flag shown here could be used as a guide, only the sun should be more gold than yellow. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 21:45, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would someone please create an SVG file of the flag of Ghealdan (a fictional nation), which is described in the TWOT books as being three silver stars (one above two) on a red field. This rendition of the flag here could be used as a guide (albeit with the white bordering of the stars removed, as I don't think that's supposed to be there). Thanks.

Alright, I know this may seem like a tall order, but would it be possible for someone to please create SVG files of the flags of the following fictional nations (or at least as much of them as possible):
1) The flag of Tear, which is described in the glossaries of the TWOT books as being "three white crescent moons slanting across a field half red, half gold". The following rendition of the flag shown here could be used as a guide.
2) The flag of Illian, which is described in the glossaries of the TWOT books as being "nine golden bees on a field of dark green", and this rendition of the flag here could serve as a guide, only the green should probably be darker of some shade.
3) The flag of Saldaea, which is described in the glossaries of the TWOT books as being "three silver fish on a field of dark blue". Again, this rendition of the flag here could serve as a guide for anyone who wishes to try it.
