I may be crazy but what if we just wrote "The Team" sort of caddy corner across the forum badge. In like a black spray paint effect. We can do the same thing for the blog and write "The Blog" write across the badge.
I'm serious, like the badge was hanging and the wall and some kid walked by and spray painted on it.
I'm not good with the stuff but If I get chance I'll try or if someone else jumps on the idea go ahead.
