Seems you contradict your last statement in #3371 where you were favouring a mechanical device over a video character?

[meased]

Seems you contradict your last statement

Not at all. My point was that the icon should indicate that the venue is an arcade, regardless of whether it is mechanical or video. At the moment, the video character seems to be the best option with the best artwork, if a better icon can be made, great!

I did attempt to make a pinball icon. It was awful... You're welcome to take a stab at it.

[Adamant36]

It might be worth letting @Tomasz-W have a stab at it. He could probably come up with something good. If nothing else a front view of a generic arcade cabinet or something. There's some examples on Noun Project. Along with ones for pinball machines. As it is, this looks to out of place/loud. It doesn't work to have such an abstract icon mixed in with real world ones like that, in my opinion.

Here was my scratch:

My icon proposals:

1. 
2.

Updated to the pinball icon as it seems to be well received and was my next favorite.

[polarbearing]

Excellent :-)

I have a hard time recognizing it, looks to me like kind of tennis maybe.

+1, I agree

[polarbearing]

Well then, pinball is kind of tennis ;-)

Maybe we put the ball a bit further right, so it is on the far side of the pivot.

[kocio-pl]

For me it's lack of symmetry. Maybe pinball table shape would be more recognizable.

[meased]

It's all the way to the right.

14x14 is very small and it seems complexity is sort of what defines a pinball table.

yes, of course not the actual table, but a lateral view (silhouette) might work even at 14x14 cheers, Martin

[Tomasz-W]

Pinball table icon:

I'm satysfied with pinball arm icon, for me it's recognizable.

[kocio-pl]

This looks rather like a furniture for me, I meant something like view from the top:

it's too complicated to make an 14x14 icon presenting it

[polarbearing]

Indeed, I see when putting a ruler on the right side. Interesting optical illusion. The ball looks a bit more centred without the ruler.

Still find the flipper/ball icon more recognisable than the table side.
I had experimented myself with a top view of the table earlier. Having a frame already takes so much pixelspace that it is hard to have anything recognisable within.

[kocio-pl]

Thanks for checking it, @polarbearing.

I would go with original "monster" or spaceship icon. They are much more readable than flipper/ball icon and without the knowledge about arcade games there are no shapes that could work.

[polarbearing]

Still like the flipper more. The monster is highly specific to a particular video game, and it gives the venue a prominence it does not deserve. . But I fear the laymen test would fail for both.

[meased]

I'll try a test with a spaceship later, see how that goes.

[meased]

Trying a spaceship icon:

[Tomasz-W]

I think it looks like some kind of tower. As some people wenen't satisfied with pinball design, I would go with "space invider" design or add leirure-green generic dot for this feature (which may be the best solution, because we still aren't sure if electronic icon is a good for something which could be non-electronic)

[Adamant36]

I vote for green dot. A lot of arcades aren't exclusively for arcade or pinball machines. Plus, most of them have the name "arcade" in them anyway. Maybe leaving them as a green dot would spur people on to add the names to more of them if nothing else. Also, some arcades are inside other places. So a dot makes sense in those cases as well.

[kocio-pl]

Yes, more or less.

I would still go with invader.

Dots are poor way of communicating with a map user - if she's not able to recognize arcade, that's the same as with dots of course, but if she can, it adds some information about the object. We use dots only as a placeholder or to deal with clutter (shops) - and this is not this case. I also think green dot is too general, because leisure is much broader category than a shop or an office.

[meased]

Trying a modification to the invader:

• Lower portion is now reminiscent of a pacman ghost (combining pacman and space invader themes).
• Height reduced to lower the amount of "ink" used.

[kocio-pl]

I like this version, especially making it a bit smaller.

me too, it looks like the bastard of pac man's opponent and a space invaders ;-)

[kocio-pl]

I guess this is the best we could find and I'd like to test and merge it soon, but there are conflicts to fix after merging #3384.

[meased]

Updated with master. More testing (same areas as above):

[kocio-pl]

Thanks! My testing also shows it's OK.

This one was fun. 😄
