What does the yellow check mark mean?

I noticed a change, in the top right where my name is, if I press my name there is now a circle with a yellow check mark. Does that mean something? It use to be green.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

It is the Fast User Switching menu item.

White on orange mark denotes the logged in user.

This has been around for sometime.

If Fast User Switching is enabled, one user can login without already logged in user logging out.

Just checked mine on my MBP and it is a orangey yellow. so It looks like it might of changed with the 10.9.1 update.

Not sure as I have never looked at it before.
