Stop whining. I'm unemployed and don't get any gold stars from anyone. I have to download them myself and it's not the same at all.

Good luck getting a job until here have a star from me.

Omg that's the most beautifully shiny shiny gold star...

Seriously though, what's the issue? I'd assume it's a pictorial version of "thanks a mill, you're a star"... no? Humans aren't robots, most people like to have a job well done acknowledged. Do a good job, someone says thanks. Sure, it might technically be going no further than the job description, but so often it is difficult just to get someone to do an alright version of what they've been asked to do in a semi-timely fashion without having to hound them. It's nice when someone promptly does something properly, so maybe your colleague just appreciates it.

Yeah maybe it comes off a little weird but if that's the only problem...

If someone emailed me a star, I would laugh.

"a thanks will suffice".

We have a saying at work.
Whenever we get a "Well done everyone" from management we say we'll print it off and bring it down to Amber to exchange for a fill of oil.
