Other things to consider are public squares, maybe they could have their own icon (open one) similar to parks guideline: |

With the latest changes we've been doing about adding or removing background circles I've been thinking there might be icons that are better the way they are right now, these would be the exceptions: What are your thoughts? Any other worth mentioning? |

Let's discuss it! What value for a user this circled / not-circled distinction bring? Does it really matter whether a POI is "administered" / is a business? What matters a lot is that adding a circle makes an icon much more pronounced / visible. So logically it should be more about important/big vs minor/niche? E.g. for tourists viewpoints and toilets are important POIs (but not circled / less visible in the current paradigm) whereas many niche shops are not (but they're circled / more visible). |

Sometimes we have an issue with "small" feature icons not visible against a particular background, as they don't have any outline. Obstacles (gates, cycle barriers, etc.) are quite important when it comes to planning a route! We should consider adding a contract (white) outline to them just like we do for fords and named nature reserves. |

Fire hydrants are red bacause they're However it makes fire hydrants too prominent on the map, so we had to reduce their visibility to z19-. At the same time benches and trash bins are z18-! |

Hello,
The purpose of this thread is to understand the current iconography and study possible changes. Based from the wiki: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/wiki/Icons
Current Icons seem to follow this logic in general:
There are mainly circled, square and open icons (like sports).
Circled icons:
The tendency is that circled are used in general for ammenities administrated by someone present:
Like a shop:
Or a bar:
Or a hostel:
Or a church:
Fuel station:
Colors are somehow clear according to the wiki.
Square icons:
The tendency is for transport uses, including parking.
Open icons:
The tendency is for objects that are permanently open and unattended.
Like table tennis open tables:
Or viewpoints:
Or fuel vending machines:
Or bicycle repair stations:
Picnic tables:
There are some cases where this criteria isn't followed, mainly in the sports category. Here some examples:
Yoga Studios:
Fitness Centres:
Climbing Gyms:
