I just had an idea I wanted to throw out for consideration. We've formalized the Trope Life Cycle -- what do people think of coming up with icons or graphics for some of the stages? I was thinking in particular that it might be a good idea to have a visual flag to put on the pages for Dead Horse Tropes and Forgotten Tropes. A graphic for the default live trope would probably be more trouble than it's worth, but these two I think might profit from an icon of some sort.

I found some clipart from Openclipart, and they are all under CC Zero 1.0 (public domain):
- A horse head and a unicorn head for the Dead Horse and Dead Unicorn Tropes. The horse ones can be colored (I would put X marks on their eyes).
- A boy thinking of a question for Forgotten Trope.
- A scroll for Ur Example.
Also, the page image for Trope Life Cycle can be used for Cyclic Trope.
