*Picture this: a barnstar made of wires and steel plating. Need I say more **That idea sounds good (I was initially thinking of something similar), but it seems like it might go against the tradition of barnstars being very simple. Also, it might look weird to be awarded to someone who contributed a vast number of articles on the industrial revolution, for example. If someone made a high-tech barnstar that people liked, I d probably vote for it, but for now, here s a rough draft of my attempt. Any comments -- 16:11, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

At the moment, I would vote for this one, I think. I like the lightbulb idea. – 17:48, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

***I m neutral on this. I like the idea, but I don t like how bright it is. I was also thinking of maybe using little LEDs in the shape of a star, or maybe replace the star with circuit boards. -- 21:06, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC) **I ve attempted to make a diamond-plated barnstar, but its harder to make than it seems. I can t do it with my photo-editing software. Maybe someone else can. -- 04:59, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

I love the idea, though! – 05:10, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The light bulb is too bright, how about a NON lit bulb like this where B stans for the bulb

: |/ :-B- : /| **I ve uploaded a 3rd version where the bulb is lit but the background isn t brightened by it. Let me know how this can be improved. -- 14:14, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How about adding cartoon lines -- 05:16, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, I actually like the brightness effect: 14:48, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I say #2 with a light bulb that is not lit but is lit in a cartoon way.

I actually think that bulb2 is fine. It seems like the bulb is lit, without throwing out the barnstar. How cartoony are you talking about 17:20, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

In the absence of any better ideas, I m going to move that we open a vote and accept one of the above images. Any seconds – 03:50, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**Second. 20:42, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

===Vote or Die===

I suppose we might as well open a vote and accept one of the three images. 16:25, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

A consensus hath been reached! The proposal then:
