I agree with Brian.
IETF has no king.
If the badge said that somebody is a chair, it may imply that there has a
"king".
dot is better !

Might be a bit more logistics when chairs change, but nothing that can't be
solved with a DYMO labelmaker.
I can only speak for myself, but I find badges hard enough to take
in at a glance even with the current amount of dot clutter. I don't
think that adding more detail is wise, and I think the notion that
"dot = knows what's going on" is simple and useful, even without
decoding the colour.
Heresy: I'm *not* convinced that putting labels on newcomers is such
a good idea, because it has exactly the opposite implication to a dot
of any colour.
