How are you achieving this? I think that it is a great idea and as we inch our site towards having a couple of public categories I’d love to do something similar for them. Love the globe!

I’d love to achieve:

1. 🌐 on Categories set to `everyone`
2. No icon set on Categories allowing access to `trust_level_0`
3. 🔓 set on all other Categories
