It may simply be the icon to select when changing to another user profile. Open Uers & Groups. Click on the lock icon and enter your admin password. Click on the Login Options button. The fourth checkbox is labeled, "Show Fast User switching ...." If it is checked, then uncheck it. This will make the icon disappear in your menubar.


If this is not the issue, then you have installed something that causes the icon to appear in your menubar.
