I think you've opened up a can of worms now KW - Tiananmen Tank Man is a pretty iconic image. :P

I was thinking of a female soldier from WWII for the Red Army forum, to put a human face on things whilst avoiding "macho" imagery.
I like Tails' propaganda image, though I'd prefer something in colour. The above image wouldn't convey obvious meaning when reduced to 50x50 pixels.  06 Oct 2011, 22:36
I've provided a colour version and made a Cuban icon as well.

With the colored one I can't help but hate the angle. Oh and you edited out the hand which kinda makes her look goofy.

She looks more like a 1920's flapper or jazz singer than a propagandist.

I agree with Che. The "Red Wedge" is instantly recognizable by those "in the know", and it seems to convey itself even at 50 pixels, as demonstrated by Che's example.
