Description (last modified by SergeyBiryukov)

This is a follow-up to #29444, which ended with @liljimmi listing an inventory of old and new unfulfilled requests for the next ticket:

  • "Sticky" icon for posts
  • "Move" icon
  • Email (using the @ sign)
  • Automattic products mini-logos
  • LinkedIn and other missing social network icons
  • Exclamation mark icon
  • Icons for different currencies. Such as $, €, £ etc.
  • A loading icon to replace the current gif loading icon (still in debate)
  • A table icon for TinyMCE and a dashicon variant for each icon in the TinyMCE icon font.
  • A filter icon
  • An animal icon (for zoo websites, pet shops, etc.)
  • Icon for WordPress Multisite
  • Icons to represent CSS ( e.g. {} ) and shortcodes e.g. [] )
  • PDF icon
  • A page icon that wasn't filled/solid like the Dashicons '\f498' is (something like Noticons '\f443').
  • A paperclip
  • A light bulb with rays to indicate it's on (this would complement Dashicons '\f339')

Can we divvy these up? I've already made sticky posts. Anyone care to jump in on the others?

Also, what's the flow going to be for submitting new dashicons? We've discussed moving toward SVG sprite, for 4.2. This will hopefully make it easier to submit and discuss new icons.

I had a couple other icons in the last thread which didn't make it into 4.1 (image filter, warning, table, filter, and sticky post). They could use another set of eyes for consistency and style. I'll reattach them here.

For now, let's hold off on making more new icons until we've had a chance to meet and discuss the plans outlined here: https://make.wordpress.org/design/2015/01/04/the-future-of-dashicons/

There's a dashicon named "visibility", that is an eye. It would be great if there was a dashicon that was something like an eye with a line through it, or a closed eye, or something to imply "hidden" or "not visible".

dashicons-thumbs.ai contains thumbs up and thumbs down. The icons are adapted from Open Iconic (https://useiconic.com/open/), licensed under the MIT License. I've tweaked the icon sizing and adjusted the points to adapt to Dashicon's 20px grid. Preview in dashicons-thumbs-preview.jpg

I like the cute carrot icon to represent food, it's context-focused, maybe too much. I think a plate, knife and "spork" could help define things like restaurants and eating.

Something in the fashion of the following might be nice:

#29 follow-up: @melchoyce

There's a couple in here that could likely make it in for this cycle. I'll check in with @empireoflight.

#31 follow-up: @melchoyce
9 years ago

Last night we started working on a Customizer icon for #32678 (https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/design/p1434596260000082). That could use some more eyes, and ideas.

An open lock based on the lock Dashicon could also be good to get in this cycle, since we have the base to work from.

At the end of the cycle, let's audit the list of icons and prune out the ones we don't think are appropriate.

#32 in reply to: ↑ 31 @liljimmi

Sounds good, we can figure which ones to prune at one of our Slack meetings.

I can work on the lock :-)

#33 @EmpireOfLight

Sorry I haven't been much help on these; let me know what the final vector files are ready and I'll update the font.

#34 @paulwilde

See #32733 and 32734.

I think a dashicons-plus-alt needs to exist which has the same thickness as dashicons-no-alt.

Based on our chat today (https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/design-dashicons/p1435257113000004), we've decided to add these icons for 4.3:

@empireoflight, could you add these icons to the font before 4.3 beta 1, and maybe take a look at smoothing a couple of them out before they go in? In particular, I'm unsure about the ones I made in dashicons-new_11-10-14.ai and dashicons-thumbs.ai

https://github.com/melchoyce/dashicons is updated. There are 2 image filter icons. @melchoyce design was losing clarity at actual size, so I did one with three separate circles. I only previewed them in photoshop so the best way to compare them would be actually loading them into the admin. Where will this appear so we can see it in context?

Also, can the thumbs-up be flipped w/CSS for thumbs-down, or do we also need a thumbs-down icon?

CSS transform wont work in IE < 9. Is that a concern?

CSS for new Dashicons - includes .dashicons-layout missing from last patch

#51 follow-up: @melchoyce
9 years ago

Seeing a typo in the patch:

.dashicons-layout:before { 
content: "\ff538"; 
}

The second "f" should be removed.

Do you know if .dashicons-exerpt-view:before, /* Misspelled. Use .dashicons-excerpt-view instead. */ was intentionally removed? We should ideally deprecate that eventually, but I figured we'd do that kind of cleanup when we move over to SVG.

.dashicons-admin-filter should probably just be .dashicons-filter since it's not specifically going into the admin menu.

Likewise, .dashicons-lock-unlock should probably just be .dashicons-unlock.

Sorry, should have caught these earlier. Do you want me to edit your patch, or do you have time to revisit it today? I don't want to take up too much of your time.

I think that may have been in trunk, but not in Git?
I'll add that back.

Yeah, nothing really ever moves back to the Github repo from trunk. We should probably just shut it down now that we're using https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/ for the demo.

If you guys ever need new icons, we, Icons8, are willing to donate or draw the new ones.

From what I see here, our Material icon pack would work great, providing the missing icons (such as Print) or improving some of the icons like this: http://take.ms/d27Yf
