I'm just going to quote the things I've already written in this thread in response to this:

Sure, everything's possible, but every option means the code is harder to maintain and it would be much more satisfying and much better game design to just have the right solution for everyone.

this is more toggleable than it used to be! BlurredD added the gold asterisk to JJ2+, and you couldn't do anything about it. Now you can replace any icon you want with any other sprite you want, including a capital S or an asterisk if you're really attached to them. You can use jjPLAYER::iconSet or save over the frames in PLUS_PLAYERSTATEICONS.
Besides that, it would be really useful if people who have strong opinions could come in and say what those opinions are. There's no way to know what problem people may hypothetically have with any given image or line of code if they won't post about them. Faw is giving his own opinions and feedback, which is good and constructive, but you and kev seem to be saying "other people don't like this," and it's really hard to do anything with that. What, specifically, do they not like? What don't they like about it? Why do they feel that way? It would be so much better if the people who actually think these things could speak for themselves so it's clear what their objections are. Can these anonymous people come in and respond to the test builds in this thread and say whether they resolve their unspecified concerns?
