Forums: Index > Wiki Discussion > Icon clutter



Pages about mobile games have at least two icons in their infobox, stacked up on top of each other. The differences between these icons, for the most part, are quite similar and make the infobox look more bloated than it needs to be. There is no reason for the 2.0 Endless Doves icon to be shown simultaneously with the regular app icon, considering the only difference is that one is smaller and has a white border.

Another example of icon clutter is Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage. There are WAY too many icons stacked on top of each other. Really, there should only be one icon for the infobox, and certainly they shouldn't be stacked so excessively.

Probably one of the most ideal solutions for this would be to remove the 2.0 icon. It's too small and would be best if kept to the Nitrome 2.0 icons page only. For the case of Icebreaker, I think the universal icon for all devices should be displayed. Having so many icons with little to no significant difference in them shown simultaneously within an infobox is overkill.  Talk Random-storykeeper Contributions 17:01, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

Woa hey I forgot a similar thing was mentioned here too.  Talk Random-storykeeper Contributions 17:01, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, I think that this is a problem. We should stick to one icon for the infoboxes and put the rest in a gallery. I don't know what you mean by getting rid of the 2.0 icons... Are you suggesting this for all game pages or just the mobile games? I disagree with the first, but I think that we should use the universal icon only for the mobile games. 220px-Takeshi64_FN0_Font.pngTakeshi_running.gif 21:59, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
Oh no, I mean just for mobile games. The point is that they already use the app icon, so there's no need to have the 2.0 in there, especially if the two look almost identical. It's better to just keep the 2.0 icons for mobile games on the 2.0 icons page. They don't need to be on the mobile game articles necessarily.  Talk Random-storykeeper Contributions 22:33, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
I'm fine with just the app's logo. --Talk to NOBODY  Eskimo 1 23:13, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
Okay removed the 2.0 icons for Endless Doves, 8bit Doves, Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage and Roller Polar. I can't remember off the top of my head if any more need to be addressed.  Talk Random-storykeeper Contributions 16:08, December 4, 2014 (UTC)
