How long does the 'New Provider' icon stay on my proposals?

To differentiate new service providers on Elance, a 'New Provider Icon' is displayed with their proposals and profiles.  This seal helps buyers understand why the provider may not yet have the feedback and earnings that long-time providers have on Elance.

As new service providers get feedback and earnings, that information is displayed along with the 'New Provider Icon' in their proposals and profiles.

The 'New Provider Icon' stays with a new service provider for the first 90 days of that service provider's account creation.
