 Fernando Rodrigues | it does. every single one of these icons follow the same template, including org owners. they all have their globes cut off. | 21:52:58 |
 @emma:rory.gay | as for this one, this honestly feels too generic | 21:53:38 |
 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 paste) | 21:53:46 |

| 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 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | In reply to @emma:rory.gay
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 |
