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.  
Unless you are being sneaky and want all admins to experience a quick-win, in that case, leave it as it is
