"New" icon

Resolved

A little "new" icon
A bunch to get the conversation rolling.
Generation 3 (may need to refresh browser).

Template: {{New icon}} Template:New icon

Request: I just made a little template for marking things as "new" (for highlighting new instructional screencasts on a page full of them). This was the only relevant icon I could find. It's good, but it looks bad at small sizes. I'm hoping someone can create a version that is simpler and looks better at 35px or even smaller. Thanks!

Graphist opinion(s): Not sure which pages/dimensions you're doing this for, I quickly threw a couple together to get the conversation started. Is there any of them that you think would be a good lead for the final design? Jon C (talk) 03:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The page I want it for now is here, although I think it would be handy elsewhere too. I think it ought to be bright, contrasty, and solidly colorful, along the lines of the stereotypical "new" star/explosion icon, kinda like this, and also have more points than the stars you drafted, like at least 7. I think the current one would work well if the text was a solid without an outline, or something a little more optimized for small size. The size of your drafts are perfect, I'd say.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 03:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Take 2. I was going to insert one into your page to see how it works, but I'm not sure how to do that (template and all). Jon C (talk) 04:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS, your second link killed my eyes :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkwchui (talk • contribs) 04:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. The red-on-gray is tough to read at the proper small size:

Maybe if the text was horizontal and a little bit wider? And sorry to spring that gif on you. I looked for something closer to the archetype in my mind, but that was the best I found on a quick Google search.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 04:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Take 3. I've overwritten the last version with larger (but lighter) font - I think it's readable at the small size now (it wasn't before). I prefer the slanted text; the slant and the red will help catch attention on an otherwise horizontal and black/blue/white environment. Taken the liberty to change the template, and it looks sorta OK in the page you've mentioned. I'm not ready to make neon-green/party pink on Wikipedia :) Jon C (talk) 04:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! I like it. It's a huge improvement over the other one. And don't worry about the colors; I can probably figure out how to change them to hot pink and neon green on my own. :D --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 04:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done Glad to be of help. Jon C (talk) 05:01, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand for what this template is usefull. Explain it to a moderate english speaker. Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 14:56, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been collecting instructional videos for helping newcomers learn how to edit: Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Resources#Videos. The gallery is getting large. The template is just a way to insert a small image into the gallery to a video as being a new addition. That way, if you've seen the older ones already, it's easy to spot what's new.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 15:06, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
