* Many, many thanks for the good work! I like all three images. The V does work in German ("Vandalismus"), but it may not in other languages. However, it may be acceptable in many language to learn that it means no vandalism. One point: A crossed-out "V" would intuitively make more sense / be easier to remember (i.e. ''no' vandalism). However, I imagine this is graphically undesirable (to many lines at small angles?). --[[User:Vigilius|Vigilius]] ([[User talk:Vigilius|talk]]) 10:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

* The "Approved" icon is good and even to recognise when very small: [[Image:FlaggedRevs-3.svg|13px|13 px]]. The hook could be ''slighlty'' broader.

:* No problem, will do tomorrow morning.

* The "V" first depends on culture and second two kinds of green are too complex. Every assumption that contains with "people will quickly learn" is an assumption too much. An eye on orange is better, the idea "... is watching you" is wanted, that's the point.

:* surely you are trying to say 'checked', 'passed', 'not vandalism', not trying to intimidate contributors that are ''not'' vandals. It should be a neutral or even friendly icon. Can we come up with another alternative? Blue?

* The question mark is good but could be more recognisable when very small. Compare [[Image:FlaggedRevs-1.svg|18px|18 px]] and [[Image:Blue-question-mark.jpg|18px]] or [[Image:Circle question mark.png|18px]]. This can also be read when very small: [[Image:Blue-question-mark.jpg|15px]].

:* Good point, I'll work on it further. The blue ? is a good template. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 22:53, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the revisions Dhatfield! With the bolder font the question mark indeed has become much more readable at small sizes. And as said in the introduction, I personally disliked the eye a bit myself; I would vote for the V for the time being, with the option that someone comes up with a n even brighter idea. Some comments on German WP suggest to me that the eye is being interpreted as an indication of much more scrutiny than is actually happening. -- I have tow minor technical points: perhaps the gradient of the outer ring in ? and V could be a bit less contrasty. In small size at 1 o'clock it looks like a spot on my monitor on the ? (much less so on the V). Secondly, the OK sign ([[Image:FlaggedRevs-3.svg|13px|13 px]]) might have accidentially become non circular, both in total and with respect of the width of the outer ring. --[[User:Vigilius|Vigilius]] ([[User talk:Vigilius|talk]]) 21:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

* Is it non circular or is it that the two circles have not the same center ? [[User:Hektor|Hektor]] ([[User talk:Hektor|talk]]) 07:40, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

:*I think I fixed all the issues raised. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 15:09, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
