Food Icons questions
Hi Bogdan & Alexandra -
The food icon set is being final designed now by Sydney, it will be ready in June. She worked with us on design of the Icons since 2020
When we made the draft set, we used a mix of existing Green Map Icons and new Food Icons. We used the same green as the Nature Icons (2021 draft chart) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-M0vdLUhEFFakry0UdXmtD2CMW8PS_0zeem050ERRpo/edit#gid=0
Now we are melding in all comments (2023 chart) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jwAl8a8p0qEvnxatkDqjCABIIbQaGYhXiQMdQ_BEAWw/edit?usp=sharing
Each existing icon has its parent selected (but did not use its image). We will not change the design of any existing GM icon and I know how to edit the description (Question 1: does the icon description need to be identical in the GM set and the food set? Small edits were suggested)
Each new Draft icon had a related parent assigned from the GM set. We are changing the icon images for some of the Draft icons. Several people have used them on their maps already. (Question 2: Can we change the order of these icons for the final set without messing up maps?
Question 3. 15 new icons will be added, must these be added to the end of the draft set or can they be mixed in without issues?
Question 4. Should we add categories to the set? There will be about 40 icons, an increase from the current 25. I have sketched out 4 categories, Food Growing, Eating, Enterprise, Specialty. I love the new way Icons sets appear with 8 showing regardless of categories in the search. Any recommendations here?
thanks so much! I will make a note for next time, based on your answer! enjoy the weekend, Wendy
