I building a responsive navigation, and I'm trying to get a nice clean simple mobile portrait menu.
In the enclosed illustration, we have a standard nav. The business requirements state that the users first name should be shown once they are logged.
My question:
In the mobile view I'd like to use some sort of icon if possible. The trouble is how would you hint to a user if they are logged in or out of the site?
Has anyone come across an instance of this they've solved visually?
I'm thinking just truncate the users name after x number of characters. That seems more obvious from a cognitive perspective. Everyone recognizes their name, and is already an indicator of status.
Any input is appreciated.
