Sorry these aren't very good, I just didn't have any ideas:

An outline of a barnstar

Another outline of a barnstar using the color from bullets ()

a barnstar with an outline on it

and the worst of them all, a barnstar being outlined.

idea

One possibility is staring us right in the face, in the edit window: each line of bulleted outlines in the edit window start with a star (asterisk).

So in the image (see below), use barnstars instead of asterisks. Make them big enough so we can work with them - we can always shrink the whole image down when we use it.

And use ghost print instead of the lines if you can.

That's a good idea, I originally had an outline overlayed on the white one above but it looked wiered. But maybe this will be better. BTW, what's ghost print? -- penubag  (talk) 20:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Lorem ipsum, but faded a bit (to make it harder to read). The Transhumanist 20:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I wish I could whip out great art like you. Here's some feedback for you. I was visualizing...

• One line of text for each star
• The text being transparent (faded), rather than faded out (how about both? Try a little more transparency)
• The stars a just a little bigger than the text (a couple font sizes bigger)

Sorry for the ambiguity in my initial description. The Transhumanist 22:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. More ideas, what about blurring the text instead? What do you mean by "just a little bigger"? Should I make the stars just a little bigger, or make them smaller so they are just a little bigger than the text? -- penubag  (talk) 23:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh well, I've got to go. Here's what I've got so far:

and just for kicks, since I thought it was kind of plain:

whatever :) -- penubag  (talk) 00:32, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

More, still...

Can't say much; it's already fantastic, but the background colour for the whole...box(?) doesn't suit the medal-look-alike barnstar. I'll see what colours match it, if I have the time, and post it here. Zacharycrimsonwolf 07:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
