current	13:45, 16 May 2022	1,200 × 900 (70 KB)	VulpesVulpes42	Fixed some geometrical imperfections which I seem to have inadvertently introduced some time before; slightly reduced the file size; switched to a deeper shade of yellow which gives a better contrast against the white and the rather dark shade of red.
	18:57, 25 August 2020	1,200 × 900 (70 KB)	VulpesVulpes42	Reduced the file size with Scour. (https://github.com/scour-project/scour)
	11:14, 1 April 2020	1,200 × 900 (88 KB)	VulpesVulpes42	Redid the flag with the latest version of File:Bergen våpen.svg, and managed to somewhat reduce the file size again. However, judging by the original uploads by Eirik1231, who managed to get the file into the 71 KB range, it probably could be further improved. Anyone who wants to is welcome to give it a shot.
	09:39, 28 March 2020	1,200 × 900 (106 KB)	VulpesVulpes42	Updated the image with the same changed that I did to File:Bergen våpen.svg, most importantly including an attempt at remedying the crack visible in the black outline. With that said, I seem to be increasing the file size. If anyone can and wants to reupload the file with a smaller size, but with no loss of information, please do.
	18:02, 24 March 2020	1,200 × 900 (87 KB)	VulpesVulpes42	I redid the file. While the dimensions already were correct according to the sources, the colours still irked me. Starting with the red colour, it is stated to be the same red as in the Norwegian flag. That shade of red is officially given as Pantone 186 C by the Nordic Council as well as the Nordic Flag Society. As for the gold, it is a tincture that in many situations, not the least when used on flags, is rendered as yellow. Here, I used Pantone 102 C as recommended by the National Archival...
