Badge Placement: Consistency or Visual Balance?
Even a small indicator can change how the entire interface feels
Adaptive Position

Fixed Position
The badge always appears in the top-right corner. This creates a consistent and predictable system, but on some icons it may feel disconnected or awkwardly placed.
