When creating or editing a badge, there are text fields for both “Icon” and “Image”. However, both use the same help description: Use either a Font Awesome class or URL to an image. As an admin, I ask: What’s the actual difference between the two? Should we enter something for one, the other, or …

It’s used on the user card, what you get when you click or tap your avatar or @username here.
