Hi T.J.,
... I'm wondering what your (professional)
background is. May I ask? :-)
I'm a retired systems programmer, a ones-and-zeros guy. (A few more
details at wiki/User:TJFrazier). I never was very good at systems
analysis and human factors; it is a great pleasure to work with those
who are.
On this list, I'm mainly an art critic. ("Them as can, do; them as
can't, criticize!" :-) ) My garish tastes are so different from Ivan's,
that when something makes us both happy, it's probably approaching
"pretty good".
Or, I suggest that we add a green
check mark to the yellow user to indicate that (s)he is known.
If that "yellow user" isn't in the "participate" icon, you've lost me.
Oh sorry, I just thought about keeping the color for the user icon and
instead using a kind of "icon language" which means adding a checkmark
symbol. At this point, the challenge is the very limited space which is
available... I did a very rough mockup, which I hope will help to
understand what I'm thinking about.

Ah, so desu. Now your meaning is very clear. To my taste, the yellow
icon draws more attention to itself, in the logged-in state, than it
merits, unless you think it necessary to remind the user to log out
again. In that case, I'd suggest a white icon, with your green check-mark.
