status-declined - the suggested design is much too busy. We did try to design something like this in early on, but decided against it.
The "Badges" should contain all the badges information you show -- the 'next tag badge' in the "Reputation" section to its left should be in here --- and you could show much more information.
If it's something I'm going to look at regularly, I would soon be wanting to see much more of the information I could be getting (and care about). I suggest something more like:
... thus showing the next tag badge info in the "badges" section, the newest of each badge color (though the most recent 2 badges would be a decent alternative), and the mouseover text replaces the redundant color information with how many of those badges are tag badges.
This is quite deliberately busier, since the "clean" look -- while it is nice for locating the information the first time you look at it, quickly becomes "bare" looking as you get used to it.
That will free up space in the 'reputation' section for other data (I suggest weekly/monthly/quarterly reputation, but there are other fine choices)
