Hey everyone
Wanted to run a poll about the community icons to choose between a couple options
Option 1 - Use UBP icons - Use unified icons for all of the communities similar to beehaw
Option 2 - Use UBP for general communities and specific language, etc. icons for specific communities
Option 3 - Dont use UBP icons
Vote using the strawpoll here (doing strawpoll so it can be ranked voting) [removed in favor of new post]
EDIT: I have remade the poll with two more options. If you voted in the previous one please vote again in this. The new options are just for adding different colored gradients to the unified icons for different communities
Quick example of this:
You must log in or register to comment.
I like the bottom one the best (option 3) for the reason that they have different colours. The colour tells something about the community you’re looking for.
A 4th option where you still have the UBP icons, but with the colours as shown in the bottom picture would be a good middleground.
just my two cents
Actually yeah true, forgot to add that to the poll. I can remake it real quick
Maybe just let each communities decide? If some want to have a uniform theme between them let them have it and if others don’t too. Like, I wouldnt like to see any style, or lack of, being enforced on anyone.
Ill switch all the icons according to what gets voted on. Will leave voting open for a day
For context, check the comments here for the discussions behind proposed options:
Also if a UBP option wins ill run another vote for hexagon vs circle
I can’t vote due to VPN, but the UBP icons look awesome, and I think using them across the board will look great. With specific language icons, can still use the actual icon with the modified color gradient (like git community is) and still gets the point across and looks great IMO.
Due to issues with this poll would you guys be open to running it again on rcv123?
Things that would change
- Random ordering of options
- Better descriptions of options
- Handling so theres no accidental voting
- Better ranked system (transferable vote instead of points)
Better ranked system (transferable vote instead of points)

Yes! You could also change the post so all the options have a preview like you did before adding the new poll options. So changing “Quick example of this:” to "Option 4 - … "
Example
Option 1: <image> Option 2: <image> Option 3: <image>Might clear things up as well.
