Just wanted to share something that we can improve:
Better default badge icons. Currently most of them use fa-certificate, but Font Awesome has soo [much more too choose](http://fontawesome.io/icons/) from 🙂
I spent half an hour grabbing some more unique icons for the default Getting Started badges, and IMO it just looks much much better, compare:
with Discourse Meta
Pretty, right? 😊
I know it’s a bit of bikeshedding, but I really feel little things like this can help a lot with a Out of the Box Discourse install.

Could you please list the `fa-` names next to the badges that you’ve coupled them with? _Edit:_ Excellent! Any additional suggestions anyone?
I don’t see why we shouldn’t polish these up a bit.

Amended my original post, can you turn it into a wiki so others can collaborate?
