Giant pencil icon!!!

The pencil icon for edited comments are far too large on P.SE + Meta. It seems like every other site uses the standard tiny pencil, which works well and is unobtrusive.

  • If I can add one remark: Badges icons. I think they would be more attractive if the round effect would be less... round... Having 1 or 2 pixels round and plain center will make them looks like real ones.

  • @Pierre I didn't notice before, but you're right, they look like spheres

I have updated the Edit icon. It is a subtle squiggle line now. I think it fits the whiteboard theme.

  • When I tried a thinner line it blended in with text too much

I agree, the pencil is massively overstyled (and far too literal) for a whiteboard design, and doesn't look correct. Perhaps an editing mark would be more appropriate -- like a small squiggle indicating "this was edited"
