I like the concept of the floating squares, though, as-is, they seem a bit like confetti. I think the Slack implementation works really well because, with the recognizable logos, it still feels relevant to Slack.
An idea: What if they were a different shape? Something a bit more relevant to Airflow? I recently designed an icon — attached — to represent the Airflow UI and I used these little pill-shaped icons to represent DAGs. Maybe something like this could work? Using the various Airflow colors? On Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 2:29 PM Aizhamal Nurmamat kyzy <aizha...@apache.org> wrote: > Thank you all for your feedback.
