Well, I'd buy it, and I'm sure most people on here would. And I like the current design you have. As DF is pretty simplistic graphics-wise, I think this is a nice way to do it (as in, not a whole lot of colors). The sketchy look of it also adds to the effect for me.

But I don't really like the dwarf's head. Seems kind of cat-like to me. o,0

I second Aqizzar's suggestion of drowning dwarves, as it was the main thing I was going to suggest.

For cannibal elves, why not have an elf picking the meat off of a small ribcage or some such thing?

Yeah, I think Toady's left a standing "No, thanks" on all merchandising options- as he doesn't want to work with anyone on organizing it at all, and likewise doesn't want to have to detract from DF to handle merchandise himself.

can still do a poster sale + donate profits

or hey just make the image and post it up in a thread and ask for donations

[Tahin]

What about unicorns impaling elves? That was in at least one release, wasn't it?

I like this idea. In fact, selling the individual badges as buttons/patches would be nice.

EDIT: Somehow an "as" got changed to an "and."

[SirPenguin]

Better yet, take this in an entirely different direction, and use these badges for a achievement system.

hells yeah

No, there's a reason why Toady forbade even the creation of DF shirts (noble joke!) to be given out freely at the DF-Meet a few months ago.

There's got to be a way to represent a Tantrum Spiral in icon form, but I can't think of any suggestions.

As for selling them as posters... maybe not.  But provide a PDF and people can print them out at kinkos.

[Areyar]

maybe a spiral with a foaming 'beard' a clenched fist and a dead cat with (x's for eyes)....the fist is clenching the tail of the pet cat (deceased)

Here's an idea for the arrow shooting somebody through the throat, brain, mouth, both eyes, and both ears. Have the arrow go through the throat, then have it curve right after coming out. Like harsh 90 degree turn, so the arrow stays within the badge's bound. The target should have one of those "OH SHIT!" facial expressions.

Also, have a second one where a dwarf, using a crossbow, shoots several bolts at once. This one would look best if the dwarf was really small and off to the side and the arrows were more frontal and large.

Have one with a picture of a bronze collosus (and, if room, a dragon) with the tagline "Megabeasts"

Looks good.  Love the badges idea.  Will buy one.

Tantrum spiral could be represented by a sort of cycle image. On the left is a dead cat. On the bottom is a dwarf yelling in rage. On the right said dwarf could be breaking things/tossing things/beating up other dwarves/whatever. At the top he'd be throwing a table onto a cat. Each event would have an arrow pointing to the next one in a circle. Round and round we go...

In the center could be some image. A burning fort? A grave?

[SirPenguin]

Have one with a picture of a bronze collosus (and, if room, a dragon) with the tagline "Megabeasts"

Then, next to it, have the same image, only with a skeletal dragon and a zombie colossus, with the caption, "Undead Megabeasts"

These are all awesome suggestions!

I'll wait for the final word from Toady before putting anything up for sale.  I can understand if he doesn't want people selling unauthorized merch, and if that's the case, I'll just release the image as a wallpaper/pdf.

Individual badges would be pretty cool, too!  Hmmm, lots of possibilities (strokes beard).
