I have some notes about creating images for microbadges.

>> Dave, in what format (jpeg, png) and how should I send my masterpieces to you?

Dave:
>> PNG with transparent background. E-Mail them to me at [email protected] - if you upload them here the ATP system will convert them to jpeg and that's Thumbs down

>> Also, all microbadges are 32x32 in size.

It must be hard to get a clear image into 32x32 pixels!

Here is an outline of Arkansas someone could work from, but directly copying it might be a copyright violation.
I sent that site a question once, asking about re-using their maps on other websites, but got no answer. They offer 'printable' versions, so they don't seem very concerned about re-use.

It's not a very distinctive state shape, especially after reducing to 32x32.

How about the state flag with the center reduced to just "AR"?

An apple blossom (the official state flower)?

A quartz crystal?
("Mount Ida is known as the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World. "
and "The quartz crystal is the official state rock")

A pine tree? (The official state tree)

The honeybee is the official state insect.

The state seal is too complicated for a microbadge, but has some nice individual symbols:
"the Angel of Mercy, the Sword of Justice and the Goddess of Liberty "
"a steamboat, a plow, a beehive and a sheaf of wheat"
