Hey so everyone has different opinions on this so let me know what you think
https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/10539
Also I'm pretty much going to just throw the poll out if nobody actually talks about their opinion.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't think this change is necessary. The worst case scenario you provided would probably never happen, and you can still make out all the icons in it anyway.
I'd probably be for this though if the icon looked better, but the blue clashes with the red and the flashing draws constant attention that loyalty implants don't need.
Just my two cents.

I prefer if the icons are kept separate, from experience officers already rarely notice if someone is lacking a loyalty implant already, thus proposed change will make it just that much harder since currently you can at least tell from a glance is someone has a implant.

I liked the flashy box, why is this being dismissed?
Also, if it's because it flashes and you can't tell instantly, why not just make it solid?

Solid blue blends in too well with command and medical hud icons.

Fair nuff.
But still, I liked the flashy box, the more obvious one.

Also this is not a good poll, it should have been Yes, No and Abstain.
Either way this really comes down to personal preference, and the worse case scenario you've listed will never happen in game by normal game play standards.

In any case the most obvious one seems to be winning?

I'd still prefer the implant icon to go back to where it was and for antag icons to move next to their feet

Welp, it got merged, surprisingly.
I guess we can try it out for a week and if people are sick of it then we'll go with Malkevin's way.

ugh these flashing loyalty implants are seriously hurting my eyes. This is 10 times worse than it was before.

Already implented?
Bah
Why would anyone think that having an ENDLESSLY FLASHING icon on their screen is a good idea.
When I play sec I don't want my screen to look like Christmas came early.
Who are these people voting yes, do you really see a big bright blue blinking box and think, "YEA WHEN I PLAY SEC I WANT THOSE ALL OVER MY SCREEN, BECAUSE HAVING A SEPARATE ICON WAS SOOOO DISTRACTING COMPARED TO A GIANT LIGHT SHOW".

I completely agree, Robustin. Personally I said yes because, frankly, I wanted it to be more distracting. It is 100% a matter of opinion, though.

As long as things are consistent people will get used to them.
Sec hud stuff should be on the same line because otherwise it looks like arse.
Antag icons changing corner might confuse people at first but they'll get used to them in a couple of weeks, same as with the old UI

Only played one round with it so far.
At first it annoyed and distracted me.
Later on it freaked me out because I was looking for the old icon when I ran into a sec officer in the dark maint tunnels. I guess i"m just not used to it.
