Flag corrected. According to [1] the width of the vertical red stripe at hoist is 1/4th of the fly --Kookaburra 19:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

The emblem is not the official version according to https://fm.gov.om/about-oman/state/flag-emblem-and-national-anthem/. Could someone address this issue? The new file should be 100% SVG. Ideally, the person who vectorizes the improved emblem should use a Creative Commons license (as is often seen on a lot of flag files, including File:Flag of Kinshasa, DRC.svg ) VexilAlpaca (talk) 23:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I have now uploaded a version of the flag so that the emblem is closer to the official version.

I request that the current file be replaced with File:Flag of Oman (official).svg and that the file for the national emblem should be extracted from the linked file. VexilAlpaca (talk) 00:05, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@VexilAlpaca: sorry but your newly uploaded file (File:Flag of Oman (official).svg) is poorly vectorized.

• The file is huge (145kb).
• The outside of the swords should presumably be simple smooth Bézier curves plotted with a minimal number of points, but instead you have used jagged lines made of hundreds of points; this is usually a sign that the vectorization has been done automatically from a bitmap image.
• The small rectangles are not rectangular. They have sides are not parallel and some of the corners have been arbitrarily rounded.
• The circles are not circular.
• No effort has been made to apply perfect symmetry where applicable.
• The rounded corners on the two large white rectangles should presumably be done with perfect 90 degree arcs. The rounding you have used has a sloppy hand drawn appearance to it.
• etc, etc.

Yes I am fussy. But I also admit that I don't often attempt to vectorize flags that have this much hand drawn artwork. I prefer to work on flags that can be laid out with mathematics. MapGrid (talk) 02:48, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

The red bar at the hoist on the new version also seems to be a different size than the current file. Is there a construction sheet to confirm this change? HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 15:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
