Mismatch of the community specific badge icons in next badge tracker and activity tab

Question

The graduated Stack Exchange sites except SOFU, MSE and Stack Apps (may be I missed few other sites) are have their community specific design for the badge icons.

After the recent UI changes for the profile page, in the Next badge tracker and BADGES section of the Activity tab, there is a mismatch with the badge icons. The community specific badges are missing in those places, instead of those the normal badge icons are displaying.

Screenshots taken from ELL.

Activity tab - BADGES section:

So the mismatch with the badge icons is the status-bydesign or bug?

If it is by design, what was the reason to change the normal icons here instead of the site specific icons?

Answer 1

Your post made me wonder if it had been accidentally changed, so I rolled back my local copy back to verify how these items appeared prior to the update. Here's a screenshot of ELL.SE prior to the updates:

So you are correct there has been a small regression in the badge progress bars, which have now been fixed and pushed to production. The badge counts above though appear to have never used the badge icons. I'm not entirely sure why.

Anyway, it's a good suggestion so I went ahead and update the alternate badges to now use the community badge icons as well.

Here's an example of what this will look like now on ELL.SE:

This will also update the alternate badges and the top tags on the Profile page:

Thanks for catching the bug and suggestion as well!
