A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Make the foot more of a cartoon foot, and I think youv'e got it.
In the previous discussions, I suggested a Monty-Python-esque foot, but some thought that would be too frivolous -- that the image should be a little more serious. I think Gus found a good balance!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Maybe something like Gus's, but with a bootprint instead of a footprint, to emphasize the "stompy" part.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Woops. I went away and did this , and missed Jon B's post. Kinda too frivolous, huh?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm picturing the stompy foot as a Doc Martin. Above the boot there is a black and white striped stocking and above that a frilly black goth-y skirt.
But that's just me.

Art Crawl!!!
I was picturing a Doc Martin too!
But my imagining didn't go further than that.

Cool. Doc Martin, with goth-wear. Is that the consensus?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm okay with the Doc Martin. But I definitely agree that the idea was to create a graphic that could not be misunderstood, as it would only be used in times of trouble. The goal was to get the attention of the warning recipient, to notify them that something official is happening. So I was kinda okay with the original image. It was no-nonsense and clear.
The other concern was that Stompy is a term that we use here and on TT. There was some concern that a newcomer might not know that a Stompy was an Admin, and that the warning came with teeth.
