| Feb 24 at 20:39 | comment | added | user400654 | we're also re-using icons still. "best practice" was changed to the award icon, and so was the achivements menu that was also using the same icon as best practice previously. surely we can find a icon that makes more sense for "best practice"? 🚽 | |
| Feb 24 at 20:27 | comment | added | Karl Knechtel | Why can't web designers just label their icons? They're hardly ever as communicative as imagined. I've gotten used to the idea that the hamburger icon marks a drop-down menu, but it gives me absolutely no idea what will be in that menu. I think it's only appropriate for sites where the answer is "everything that isn't main page content". Other icons in the top bar also open up what can reasonably be called menus, and we constantly get questions about, in particular, where the "log out" option is. | |
