In a past life (and game), Harmless' forums had an award system which we had put to good use, and it's a feature we miss (and will eventually revive after some systems consolidation). We had campaign participation medals with a contextual iconic shape over a standard background, military-styled medals for great sacrifices or losses in defense of another, ribbon graphics for special contributions or exceptional performance, etc.. This would make a great addition to the game.
Let me be the first to request (in case it's not already planned) that information about player medals be made public through the xml feeds or at least accessible as an alliance-private feed so we can sync the information to all the places where an alliance congregates (which I'm sure frequently ends up being off-site). Second and equally important is allowing alliances to upload their own medal graphics. It doesn't take much accumulation before generic or formulaic graphics with no topical or contextual components become a meaningless jumble.
If either of these features are not supported, we'll probably still end up not using the system but sticking entirely with something we roll ourselves.

And crows! we want crows! I'm guessing the Eagles will want Eagles and that H? will want ...
Question marks?
I'm just tossing it out as an idea for the standard icon set, I think Crow, Eagle and/or a generic bird might get heavy use.

Cow Medals? YES!
Edit: So there's gotta be a cow in the template, right?

In the interest of being super-duper clear, players do not draw or create their own artwork to use in these. You'll create a medal out of pre-designed pieces put together within the designer. You choose color, shapes, layers, gems, etc. :)
