Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I pitched this idea to our B.net Commander-in-chief Achronos, who assumedly agreed, but only replied blaming subordinants.

I love the new B.net, but there's something amiss. Within the member's "member card", the black window in the upper-right of your screen with your avatar, name, and friends, in box, and groups page links. The former two of the links have corresponding icons (the orange "player" icon and the grey envelope). However, as you have probably noticed by now, there's no symbol for the groups page.

Now, I may just be over-reacting, but every time I go to my "member card", things seem unbalanced. I suggest an icon, which I have taken the liberty to (in an amateur fasion) conceptualize in paint, which you can find here.

Such an implementation, I feel, would help balance and make the new site more consumate.

I think a miniature "7th Column Symbol" would be more appropriate instead of multiple "Friends Online" "icons". They're too similar because it's just saying that groups are the same as friends online but different colour. I think a more easily differentiable symbol would be more suitable for this situation.

Now this I agree with, that symbol would be ideal.

That symbol is weak, you're right though it looks awkward without an icon. A mini 7th column symbol would be nice.

Maybe something like this but smaller?

Here's the icon as a small size.
Here's how it would look next to my member area section thingy...yeah.: Link

That's what I'm talking about. I would like to see that implemented, if anything.

Whatever the icon, I think we all agree we need something...

I vote no, just for arguments sake.

I think this does work the best..
And if you disagree, you guys are .. meanies. It's the Seventh Column, so why the heck would it be anything but the Septagon?

Hey Duardo, you should really PM that to Stosh, or better yet, email him at [email]stosh@moap.net[/email]. He's kind of lazy/busy so I'm sure he'd appreciate a little help.

Yeah I completely agree it does look unbalanced due to the lack of a icon. All though it is only a small anesthetic thing it is pretty noticeable due to the high frequency of referring to that box to get to my groups. A icon would make a world of difference.
