In light of the many discussions about awards, we are looking for a way to encourage everyone to express their enthusiasm without having to worry competition or activity limits. To facilitate this, I have decided to create Signature Emblems. These will be small template images that you can place in your signature to show off your recent or past accomplishments. The images are templates so that you can modify and personalize to the individual accomplishment, although we will have a few standard styles for each.
For example, one could look something like this:
You could draw whatever image you wanted in the black space in the center, and then put the name of something underneath. You could also change the color scheme or style of them emblem itself if you were feeling very creative.
Besides announcing this program, I would like to use this thread to gather suggestions and ideas about what you want the decals to be, and gather feedback as we create and revise them. We are looking at things from the 64x64 to 128x128 pixel ranges.

- trophy
- medal
