Less ambiguous icons to represent like/dislike?

Is there a chance we could revamp the red heart/green heart icon system? When I first joined the site last week, it was super confusing to me what the red/green hearts meant, especially when it came to field types. Red hearts are a pretty universal symbol of "like" elsewhere. Coupled with the fact that, for example, ice type pokemon experience "green heart" in fire fields, it pretty seemed intuitive to me-- ice types would NOT be happy inside a volcano. So green hearts = bad, red hearts = good. Except it was the complete opposite. This might be helped by changing the red heart to an X mark, or the green heart to a check mark. Having different shapes for like and dislike would also adhere better to colorblindness web design standards.

"Green = good, red = bad" is, at least in my opinion, fairly universal... But your point about colour-blindness is a very valid one. I shall look into some options there. Even if it's just making the red heart be a "broken heart" icon instead, that's better!

Yeah! A broken heart would be perfect. Thanks for the speedy reply.

Yes, but context matters. There's a reason all the valentines cards feature red hearts instead of green ones :p I like the idea of dislike being a broken heart or a cross, to hopefully avoid others making the same mistake.

I also like the idea of a broken heart for dislike! I've long since come to understand them, but I will say they personally gave me a bit of pause as well at first, I think partially due to my experience with the Harvest Moon games; green hearts being around halfway to max affection, red hearts being max affection. So there definitely a moment of "okay is this saying green=they like it, and red=they love it, or like and dislike?" I definitely also agree that context matters, red and green are pretty universal, but when hearts are involved, a red heart is universally known as love, so using it to mean dislike can definitely give pause lol.

I just realized with field types i thought the red hearts = love. I think it's because the heart shapes. red heart = love is also fairly universal, as @skiddo mentioned. It could be useful just to have a brief summary of what the like/dislike system is for fields in the tutorial, or something similar. It's mentioned in the beginner's guide but I didn't see it until now.

Okay, how's that look? I just threw together some pixels :D

yeah!!!!!!!

I love it! You did an amazing job with it Niet!
