If someone would like to do better, the template image is at

This is a 2 x 3 array of 16-px x 16-px images. The middle row is irrelevant for this type of rating system. The top and bottom rows need to consist of a tick and a cross. If they don’t align perfectly, there will be a noticeable shift during the mouseover.

Perhaps you could change the images to ✓ and x instead? I do know if too many x’s would discourage some from making more comments, but I don’t think that thumps up/down are the best symbols to describe “correct” and “needs some work”.
