Although statues do not really encompass the nature of Terraria or the wiki as a whole, and I do not believe they should be used to represent badges or achievements, Scyther does appear to be onto something here.

You see, Terraria, as an RPG, has a very well-encouraged order of progression that is covered. This means that one will go from wood/cactus gear to metal, to Demonite or Crimtane, and so on.

This could go two ways that I see:

The first way involves using just the metals as progression tiers, like Scyther mentioned with statues. This would be encompassed in easy things such as swords for edits, pickaxes for images, and so on. (Customize as necessary). We'd start at copper, then silver, then bronze (likely tying in with the colors of the badges themselves).

The second way has us cover Terraria's entire order of progression until a landmark (such as Hardmode). We might start with the Copper Shortsword, moving onto stronger ore gear, then Evil gear, Jungle, Dungeon and finally ending with mighty Molten gear.

I personally am in favor of the first method (the ore progression) as it ties in nicely with different "tiered" badges, but I am fine with either. Discussion?
