Yup. I would definitely recommend the (unstroked, as you show it) XO
icon within the box, as well. The badge feels just a little high in
your mockups (it should be at a 45 degree angle from center, and
positioned so that the lower-right corner falls outside the 55px
recommended icon region, at (70,70)), but that's just an issue of
defining the hotspot correctly. Also, all bages are supposed to be
black fills with white strokes (and white symbols within the box, eg.
the XO itself). I think that never happened because entity support was
never added for badges.

Does someone know how to add that so we can fix the badges up?
Alternatively, does someone want to update all of the default SVGs for
the badges so that they use the correct colors without use of
entities?

Thanks Gary! (For the mockups, that is; I'm not volunteering you for
the above task)
