I am not with the groupies, and I don't really like to sugarcoat critique, so, if you don't mind :) -
Shield icon is iff-ish. It looks flat compared to the smiley, V is off-center, its color is a bit too desaturated and the icon almost blends with the background.
That being said, it might work quite well in a larger context... 400x300 crops tend to skew perception quite a bit.

I might be having a stroke but I think that your "V" is 1px too far to the right. :)

@Alex, the styles of the two icons aren't lining up well, you're right. Good eye.

ps. the v is exactly centered, though that doesn't mean it should be, it might visually need to go left a hair.
