 dgrig | * (fwiw, thank you for pushing for these changes, to me the examples shown so far make a lot of sense and are easily recognizable. The few rooms that have these icons already applied are so much easier to recognize now instead of in the past) | 21:53:49 |
 Fernando Rodrigues | Here's the icon grid, btw. | 21:54:33 |

 @emma:rory.gay | didnt embed, very nice | 21:54:57 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | rural internet moment maybe | 21:55:17 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | usually when i convert to jpg it works | 21:55:32 |

| @emma:rory.gay | also, less corporate centricism would be nice in the icons (ie. github iconography) | 21:55:55 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | What do you propose? All icons are from Material Design, since they're Apache 2.0 and very recognisable. | 21:56:25 |

| Fernando Rodrigues | By the way, don't worry about off-topic, hydra and sysops. KDE's SVG library has trouble rendering fonts with borders. | 21:57:18 |
| dgrig | This is what my element sidebar currently looks like, because all the rooms start with "Nix/NixOS something" it's hard to differentiate them. Your changes makes this sidebard much more readable, so again thank you. | 21:58:05 |

| Fernando Rodrigues | Final icon for now: NixOS Matrix Suggestions. I didn't like that it has an Element logo. Element isn't all of Matrix! | 21:58:50 |
| @emma:rory.gay | the staging one could probably use the generic git icon instead? or a 3-way merge icon. review requests doesnt really make sense to me despite using git day in day out | 21:59:01 |
| @emma:rory.gay | security also has that same issue of feeling too generic | 21:59:28 |
| @emma:rory.gay | ooh i like this | 21:59:38 |
| @emma:rory.gay | i like the contrasting black bg instead of the white one | 21:59:51 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | I'd love to get more dark gray/black backgrounds in the room icons. the category team has a yellow on dark gray scheme | 22:00:35 |
| @emma:rory.gay | also about #11, was the swearing implication intentional? xD | 22:01:39 |

security also has that same issue of feeling too generic I agree. That said, isn't that kind of the point of a room icon for a topic as generic as `infrastructure` or `security`? The Security Triage room has "`#@!%`" in the room icon. I'm sure that's probably an inside joke when the room was created, but I have no idea how that relates to security. | 22:01:57 |

also about #11, was the swearing implication intentional? xD That was long before my time, haha. I've only done Xen onwards. | 22:02:19 |
| @emma:rory.gay | ah | 22:02:24 |
| @emma:rory.gay | yeah no i kinda want to keep the non-corporate feel alive tbh | 22:02:33 |
| @emma:rory.gay | lets not make nix/nixos sterile and boring :D | 22:02:45 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | How do we do that while still keeping the icons recognisable? | 22:02:57 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | for instance, how do we show the tagging efforts from the categorisation team without using a tag? | 22:03:21 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | A skeuomorphic tag, maybe? I'm not sure how good that would look. Icons can't have too many details. | 22:03:52 |

the staging one could probably use the generic git icon instead? or a 3-way merge icon. review requests doesnt really make sense to me despite using git day in day out Also, wouldn't the git icon be exactly the same as the current icon, but inside a rounded square and rotated? | 22:04:55 |
