As the title suggests does anyone have ideas for additional badges for SO?
I liked the idea of 'hidden' ones that are triggered by odd, random criteria. Basically Easter eggs.
Also:
Edit: Made it a community wiki so people can edit easier.
Slacking Off at Work
For people who spend most of their workday on SO!
Revisionist - Based on the ratio of posts to edits for the original author of a post. The higher the number of edits, the closer to the badge you get.
Perfectionist - Based on the ratio of posts to edits by anyone, including the original author. The lower the number of edits, the closer to the badge you get.
I don't know where the badge threshold would lie for these, but I think they would encourage better quality in posts.
We Understand You - Provided a answer that was accepted when another answer had 10x votes.
Shows that you understood the question better than the majority of the community.
Almost equivalent to unsung hero (what it should have been maybe?)
Bronze/Silver/Gold
(Insert Name Here) - Number of accepted answers doubles the number of asked questions. With more then 10 accepted answers
(Insert Name Here) - Number of accepted answers doubles the number of asked questions. With more then 25 accepted answers
(Insert Name Here) - Number of accepted answers doubles the number of asked questions. With more then 50 accepted answers
Maybe instead of number accepted answers it could be doubles/triples/quadruples. This badge is more aimed at all the people who answer more questions then they ask.
EDIT: (A negative badge)
Duper - First post closed because it was a duplicate
Another one may be Gives Credit (as chaos suggested in his answer) for users having accepted answers for all/most of the questions they asked.
Googled, for when N one's answers / one's questions appear as first in Google search results ;-)
Just kiding. I think while it is a nice concept, it would be too hard to implement: first one would have to decide how to detect 'first result in Google search', and second decide what search query to use (whole question title?).
Bridge
Given to answers which are voted down because the answerer misread a word in the question.
The name comes from the Cream song "Badge," which was famously titled by mistake.
The title has nothing to do with the song. Clapton saw Harrison's notes for this, and misread "Bridge" as "Badge." He thought this is what Harrison named the song, so they used it for the title.
Competitor (Probably Silver)
After reaching 10K Rep, every 2 weeks there is a calculation taken of everyone else on the site with over 10K rep. Whoever has the most upvotes in the past 2 weeks gets this badge.
Anyone who won in one of the last 2 rounds is taken out of the running.
Cannibal — deleted own accepted answer when other answers had more votes
Edit: based on bobobobo's observation, maybe Seppuku is a better term for it... or in Japanese: 切腹
Has anyone suggested badge images yet, like the ones seen in Team Fortress 2 or on Kongregate?
(I haven't read all the suggestions above. Perhaps there should be a badge for 'failed to read all previous suggestions because of short attention span'?)
Charity A silver badge given when a user piggy backs on another user's question and offers a bounty to answer it. Resulting in an increase by 5 upvotes
Philanthropy A gold badge given when a user piggy backs on another user's question and offers a bounty to answer it. Resulting in an increase by 15 upvotes
A badge for anyone who asks or answers a question on the Trilogy on Christmas day
Similar to Beginner's Luck, Rookie of the Year (or "of the Week"). Hit 1000 rep within the first week of joining.
Detox: User with more than 200 reputation abstains from the web site for more than a week.
Remorseful
Give a down vote to a user, and then give the same user an up vote within an hour (or similarly short period).
Basically a "well that's just wrong", followed by "but no hard feelings, ok?"
Professor
User who's majority of rep (maybe 90% or so) is from up-votes on accepted answers. With a minimum rep of 10,000.
Pupil
User who's majority of rep (maybe 90% or so) is from questions. With a minimum rep of 10,000.
Minority View
User who commonly up-votes something that has very many down-votes or down-votes somthing with a lot of up-votes. (Basically disagrees with community)
Poor Sport
User who down-votes all competing answers to the same question as himself.
Thats all I can think of for now, I may add more later.
What about badges you have to be nominated for? Like..
Above and Beyond Must be nominated by 20 users for going above and beyond to help them.
Vote your own question closed.
Best of a Bad Bunch - For every X answers where you're the highest voted (and at least 2 upvotes) but the answer isn't accepted. Acts as encouragement to give good answers to questions that are unlikely to ever satisfy the OP.
That's not my name
Change your name from "Unknown (google)" within 5-10 minutes of registering on the site.
Underminer, or Zealot

Obviously, the criteria could be tweaked but this is intended to encourage people to write on-topic contributions that don't troll or incite others into angry responses.
Overlord — Awarded for having the most rep. This badge can be lost when you no longer have the most rep. (could also be calls The One Badge.
A Hall of Fame badge for those who will reach 100k reps.
Blowhard for someone who posts in many different tags, but doesn't have any accepted answers... a failed generalist.
Socrates/Know Thyself for very large percentage of answers (100%) upvoted or accepted
Badger for someone who suggests a badge here that becomes real
Downer or, Parent
