Oh, my confusion here is that I always hide labels. I have so many
pinned gets rid of the confusion.  But chrome manages to change the text
of the icon based on the profile.

With chrome I can "Manage People" and add more than one profile.  I can
then pin each profile to the taskbar. Each profile contains a different
set of saved passwords, bookmarks and other data.  There is only one
executable with different text for each icon on the task bar.
