Badges are kind of boring me. But I do like the idea of having some visual measurement tool for usage on a service. Been thinking about having Gastropod influenced shapes. I kind of dig the idea of making it anthropogenic.
@Eli Rousso: Yeah unfortunately I just realized that. It's funny how I'll make something and then discover later someone else already thought of it. We had this interface before Github made the switch too. It sucks, photographic memory of sorts.
Reason for the push on icons It's better globalization. Use iconography and it translates better through language barriers without the need of programming. We have a larger drive of users from other countries.

Hm - I love the shape and look in general, but against the icons up above (the gear and power button) it feels a little out of place.

Really like it. @David, out of place? It's just like Tumblr's interface.
