*The redesigns used for the svg versions of several of these are, in many cases, direct and significant downgrades to my eyes that would damage the icons' usability. I seriously dislike the svg versions of Check Mark, Data, Disambig, Indeterminate, Merge, Move, Photo, Speculation, Split, Unnotable, and X Mark; they are in most cases harder to clearly understand at a moment's glance, especially at small sizes. I strongly encourage you to scrap as many of the redesigns on that list as you're willing to.

*:XMark was ripped from TF2 and Checkmark was derived from it, they've been on my "kill" list for years. Disambig and Split were changed in order to not have square silhouettes amongst all the circles; Merge was changed to match style with Split. Data was changed because it's harder to control text between browsers than symbols in SVGs, and converting all that text into paths would be fairly expensive (same reason the fancy curly letters were dropped from the policy scrolls). Speculation was changed to not be so similar to LowQuality (and, at least locally for me, it rendered quite differently in various browsers). Move is being reconsidered as above. I get the complaint about Photo and might make it symmetrical or change it back, not sure yet. As for Indeterminate and Unnotable, I don't see your beef with them, and would need more feedback than "no" to change anything.

*Probably just a pet peeve, but I don't really like the Metal Gear exclamation point in the warning icon. Considering the unique "traits" of all the other icons this just feels out of place, and will probably feel even more out of place if one of the icons ends up having a unique question mark....though I'm pretty sure this was intentional and and thus not worth that much complaining about. I like Nymbare's idea of the newbug icon being a "squashed bug" (my initial feeling when the icon was first proposed was to use the original icon for bugfix for newbug, while giving bugfix a flyswatter icon, though I never commented this when newbug was first proposed because I thought it was a bit silly); I partially agree with Serpent King with giving the move icon an arrow (though I'm torn on making it curved or straight), but maybe making the two colors more distinct would suffice; and pretty much everything Aidan said about the speculation icon (not a fan of the semitransparency even if its going to be on a colored background nearly all the time). - [[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 00:03, July 27, 2019 (EDT) | |||

Post here if you have an idea for a new icon and I'll consider it. An example would be splitting a "new bug" icon off of the "bugfix" icon. | Post here if you have an idea for a new icon and I'll consider it. An example would be splitting a "new bug" icon off of the "bugfix" icon. | ||
