I've just recently been researching visual metaphors for one of our sites and noted that Petco uses paw prints; Burpee uses leaves; but strangely, Figleaves.com did not use fig leaves.
I found most sites use stars - in some variation or other. And I agree with Esteban that reviews are actually more effective that the ratings. Perhaps the ratings can just be considered "short-hand" to the reviews which (hopefully) provide the all important and much needed details. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
