Description luarvique (reporter) 2009-06-22 15:30:32 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
FireFox 3.x

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
Go to any product page that allows quick install (with the green arrow icon).

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
The green arrow icon should be reasonably cute. The original (square) icon
would probably do, especially considering that everybody is used to it.
Attaching possible alternatives to this tracker.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
The current icon is seriously ugly. 

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

I'll take ownership of this icon, but sionce the new icon came from a graphic
designer, and personallyt I think it looks better than the 5 options you are
proposing, I'm not convinced that we need to change again.

I will ask Glaubert to suggest something else which fits your requirement of
"cute". One thing I would like to see changed is to have no text in the icon.

Dave.

It looks like we're not going to have a resolution of this. The original icon's
gone for 2 years now. My email to the original designer went unanswered, Let's
just close this WONTFIX.
