How do I show usergroup "icons"/"badges" for different usergroups?

This is very similar to what I am looking for but I'm not sure that the ranks system would work. I don't want it based upon the number of posts but basically one that I can add or a member can add. It will be used to indicate how many of our actual vents they have physically attended. I already have the awards system added and that works great. I want to add an image under or above their Avatar though. I will create images for the number of events that they have intended. Has anybody seen anything like this? Would be great if it was user configurable so that they could pick the image with the number from a drop down box and add it themselves, sort of the same way they add an avatar.
