@firstdefence thanks for the detail on svg, very interesting. @Medical Officer Bones thank you for diving so deep into this file, and thank you for the workaround! I have Opera, but did not know about this feature. With your method, I was able to open the pdf in Designer and turn off that odd leaf shading to get what I needed. Good to know for the future if I ever run into anything like this again. You have both been very helpful, thank you so much!!!

INFINITE THANKS!!! This worked perfectly! In the future, I will try to get ahold of the designer before I post, thanks for the advice. I definitely don't intend to disrespect anyone's work. I will delete the svg, and I have downloaded your pdf, so feel free to delete. Out of curiosity, do you know of a reason that an svg file would display so inconsistently across various platforms? Is that a stupid question with an obvious answer? Does it just have to do with the fact that every program reads the code in a slightly different way? (Though that would seem to defeat the purpose of the file format.) I have never had trouble with svg files in the past. Just curious! Thank you again!!!!!!!

I am using Affinity Designer to create a poster for work that will be 36” x 54”. I had a png file of our logo that I was going to put on the poster, but after scaling, it was too small to be stretched that much, plus the colors were a bit off when converted to CMYK. I asked our marketing director for a vector version of the graphic, and she asked the person who made the logo. I was sent an eps file, and there were weird lines and broken shapes that made the gradient weird and the logo kinda wonky. So I just asked for an svg, because I thought you just couldn’t go wrong with an svg. But it is opening very inconsistently in different programs and I cannot get it to display correctly in Affinity Designer. At this point, I am about to pull my hair out. Image 1 is the png file and the correct way the logo should look. Image 2 is a closeup of one of the wonky spots on the eps file when opened in Designer (the horizontal line on that leaf should not be there, it should be one continuous shape and gradient, see png). Image 3 is how the svg opens in Google Chrome (looks almost correct, would be acceptable if I could even just get it to look like this in Affinity Designer). Image 4 is how the svg opens in Affinity Designer (looks very wrong). Image 5 is how the svg opens in Sketch (also looks very wrong). Image 6 is how the svg opens in Inkscape (still wrong). I have also attached the svg file. Please help!!!!! Is it normal for an svg file to appear so inconsistently across various platforms? What can I ask for in graphic-design-speak to get what I need (a vector with a transparent background that can be enlarged infinitely)?? Thanks!
