Well, I'm new to this discussion, but here's what I think: First, if I had to pick one of the images proposed thus far, I'd go with Sango123's version of the original image but without a background. But if I may suggest, maybe we could go beyond just coloring the Barnstar, maybe we could make something (in the shape of a Barnstar, of course) that evokes resilience (maybe something highly resistant but very maleable at the same time, such as aluminium). Second, and I'm in doubt about this: the adjective "resilient" is in reference to the "always finishing with a smile in one's face" or to maintaining one's opinion and making it heard, as it was put? Because if it's about one's ability to always finish graciously, even if one was wrong or had to concede to someone else, which would mean that one didn't really "maintain the previous shape", as "resilient" is described in dictionaries ("shape" here being a metaphor for "opinion"), it would be perhaps better to call it "The Enlightened Barnstar", or something, which would make reference to one's constant search of personal growth, which propels a constant openess to reviewing one's views and opinions. I got a little confused with the final part of Sango's original proposal for the scope, which makes reference to not allowing mistakes hinder growth. Maybe I'm overthinking this.

Thanks for a long-awaited response! :D The image to the right is about as cast iron-like as I can get it. But for "resilience", which metal is better suited?

Ah, thanks, Sango. I like the look of cold, hard iron. -- Death phoenix 05:41, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Changing concepts again, how about a bonsai plant, a bouncing Barnstar ball, or Barnstar-on-a-spring? ( SEWilco 05:08, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC))
No new images have been proposed for 17 days. Should we open a Vote or Die and accept one of the existing images? Sango 123 June 30, 2005 16:13 (UTC)
Okay ladies and germs, we've all done this before. I've put in the images that you seemed to prefer, but as always, if you want to vote on anything else, just enter it into a blank table cell. No real deadline; we'll just continue until we reach a clear consensus. I think we all agree on Resilient Barnstar, right? -- Death phoenix 1 July 2005 00:13 (UTC)
