The whole piece was redesigned, so making . Let me know if you feel that's off-base.

(expanding on animuson's comment)

The rows of dots illustrating badges is silly. It doesn't convey any useful information. It doesn't even visually convey the number of badges, since the size of the dots is adjusted depending on the number of badges. This picture (with both screenshots scaled at 80% to fit on the same line on the desktop site) suggests that I (left) have more silver and bronze badges than Jeff (right), if I go by badge-covered area!

Gilles's badges Jeff Atwood's badges

Drop that and use the space for something useful, such as having a column for recent badges and one for the most notable badges (suggestion by Monica Cellio). Or one for the counts and one for the notable badges. Or drop the column formatting altogether.
