Summary

This ribbon image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file . This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{ vector version available | new image name }} . It is recommended to name the SVG file “NOAA ACO Award.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva ) does not need the new image name parameter.

If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts , derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed ). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation , please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}} .
