| - Some ideas I've had for the icons and which I'd like some feedback on can be seen at <a href="http://img171.[That">http://img171.[That</a> shack with the images that I can't link to because of the filter].us/img171/9430/completecomprehensiveap.png. These are just rough ideas made in MS Paint, the finished icons should look a lot better. They were designed with the plan of making a visual metaphor for completeness. My own personal thoughts:
* Death Stars Pros: Recognisably Star Wars, fits with the theme of the site Cons: The FA and GA icons aren't Star Wars themed, may not scale well, may not be immediately recognisable what the metaphor's supposed to mean
* Progress bar Pros: A full progress bar appears in computer programs when a task is complete, a partial one when it's not Cons: Looks too much like a battery
* Circular progress bar Pros: Same idea as the other progress bar, except it doesn't look like a battery Cons: Has a tendency to look like the inside of a lemon instead
* A/F grades Pros: Fits with the academic theme of the FA star and GA tick Cons: A grade ranks higher than a tick or a star in terms of importance, whereas CAs are supposed to rank lower than FAs and GAs (AFAIK) There's also the possibility of the cresh symbol, which is used here. Like the Death Stars, it fits the Star Wars theme, but is also not immediately recognisable. I'm not sure which Aurebesh letter would be used for the former CAs either. -- I need a name (Complain here) 15:28, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* I personally prefer the Cresh symbol (File:Cresh.svg). Former CAs could simply use a grayed out version. --Imperialles 15:37, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* I'd simply prefer a "C", as using cresh would also create a situation where only 1 of 3 symbols are star wars themed. —fodigg File:BlackRebelStarbird.png (talk) | 15:41, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* Here's an example of what an era icon using the Cresh symbol would look like. Consider this, too: using a "C" would create a situation where only one out of three icons used alphabetical characters. --Imperialles 15:52, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* What about, rather than a segmented circular progress bar, having a simple circle? Circles are only ever complete. For FCAs there could simply be a cross through it like the FGA and FFA icons have. NAYAYEN:TALK 15:48, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* I like it. Would it be a circle or a disc? Meaning, would the center be hollow? I would think disc, with center filled in. —fodigg File:BlackRebelStarbird.png (talk) | 15:52, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* A solid one would work better. We don't want it to be confusing by looking like an "O". NAYAYEN:TALK 15:53, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* Here is a possible combination of the solid circle idea for CA and FCA. An alternative to the red sector in the FCA icon could be a simple cross or a break line over the circle. I'm fairly sure that the scaling isn't right, they're just suggestions at this stage. NAYAYEN:TALK 19:41, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
* img15.[that shack with the images].us/img15/7/comp2j.png - Cresh, circle and plus/minus versions. I'm thinking something with a circle would be a good idea. -- I need a name (Complain here) 15:41, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
* I like the circle/broken circle personally. --Eyrezer 12:03, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
* What about just like a plus sign? It fits with the star and the tick mark (check mark). I personally think that they should be consistent.—Darthtyler (Talk) 04:14, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
* Good idea. I think a plus sign could work. —Master Jonathan File:New Jedi Order.svg (Jedi Council Chambers) 20:48, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
* Yes, and when it is a former Comprehensive article it can be a minus! —Unsigned comment by BLAT (talk • contribs).
* I just noticed someone already suggested that. But yes, the plus sign is consistent with the other "academic" icons of the star and tick marks.—Darthtyler (Talk) 17:50, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
