How about a 'Beneficial insect' badge? A cute little lady bug would do the job, I think.

How do you guys find 32x32 png file I cannot figure it out and thus none of my badge ideas are getting made. I use google for my search engine and for some reason I'm not finding how to search for file sizes/types?

Keith, I find it easier to resize images than to search for small ones. Here's a neat tool I found:

With only 32 dots on a side, I think we have to edit our own, pixel by pixel.

Shrinking a simple image may be a good starting place, but after that, I think that some editing tool that lets you paint each pixel is helpful.

That said, I never did manage to make one that looked decent to me.

Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!

Do these editing work on Macintosh? That's an issue.

I'm having to borrow computer time I don't have one right now, so I was just finding pictures and emailing Dave but he's busy so I was hoping someone knew how to do this and could help me.

Keith, I am old as dirt and slow as molasses but if no computer expert steps up I would be willing to re-size some images.

I was unable to find a micro badge for Kansas. It looks like the Sunflower is taken.

Or the flying monkeys! Ruby slippers? With the sunflower gone, Kansas is not easy. Western Kansas has the most amazing and beautiful thunderstorms – but I don't think that would translate into amicro badge. The only thing I can truly think of is the tornado.

For Kansas ... how about the state flag?: http://www.bing.com/images/sea... I see some badges are the state flag, or an outline-shape of the particular state. It would be cute if a photo of the Jayhawk could be used but unfortunately that's a copyrighted logo.

The Kansas seal or the Kasans flag, both attractive, would be a good idea. I'd make the micro badges for you if I knew how but, I'm still waiting on the Ladybug-Beneficial bug badge.

Oh, you would have K-State fans up in arms! There's rivalry between KU and K state.

Yes, Dave is quick with the badges. He made a spider badge within the day when I requested one. :)

I am not a fan of Iowa's flag, so haven't used it. I lived most of my life in Nebraska and like that badge, a windmill. I am still debating whether or not to get it.
