Edit to action links

[callen2563]

I am proposing a change to the action link shape from a circle icon to a square font awesome icon in order to create a more aligned appearance to the page grid, other icons, links and page content.

Here is an example of the current action link in use:

Here is what I'm proposing:

@callen2563 , this issue was discussed in the Design System Council on 3/26 and the decision was not to make this change at this time. Here are some of the discussions points on why.

• The action link is meant to stand out and not meant to look like another thing. The misalignment does its job as it forces the user to see the CTA.  
• The square is more pleasing to the eye but that’s not the job of this. 
• This is intentionally disruptive. Although not as aesthetically pleasing.  Hypothesis this will meet VAs goals and needs.
• If you want to explore ways n which we can do that w/o losing prominence to develop new solution, we encourage you to do so. 
• Consider looking at conversions by doing an A/B test to see which is more successful to get people to where we want them to go.
