New design for Habitat Diversity not clear?

Post by MadeleineW »

Hello,
The design of the Habitat Diversity conservation project seems to have changed and now looks like the Species Diversity one, with several colours of circle including ones that are not continent-coloured, and more than five. It's okay on a laptop but on a small-screened phone it's not easy to tell which is which. Please could we have the old design back, it was much clearer.

It would be great to have a clearer icon on small screens.

+1

New design is worse. I have problems even ion laptop with 125% DPI.

Please, make an option to revert back to old icons. They are MUCH better for readability.

Agree that the new design is not good.
I would propose having the the continent diversity project icon just be the 5 continent icons arranged in an olympic ring arrangement. And the animal diversity can be the 7 animal icons in a 2-3-2 arrangement. This way they differ in both shape and color.

Agee,

it's unclear on whatevery platform I play. Screen size has nothing to do with it.
The icon is just terrible design imho, having more than 5 colours on Habitat makes 0 sense.

Yeah, the icon is super unclear to me as well. I didn't like the previous icon but it was better than this - I find myself needing to check at the start of a game by hovering over it, which defeats the purpose of the icon.

Agree. Maybe something like an Olympic symbol ( 5 rings) could be an icon more clearly.

It's my fault, not the designs, but I was replaying a game today and it took me 16 turns to realize it was species was habitats; I only realized when I tried to project. :lol:

+1 to this. The new diversity icons are a garbage fire. Even on a laptop screen I have to zoom in to figure out which is which.
