Closed access symbol change

Hey Daniel,

I was curious about your edit to {{Closed access}} yesterday, changing the symbol from to 💰. I don't want to change it back to the previous symbol without some discussion but I have two main reservations with the new choice:

  • The open access symbol remains , so changing the closed access symbol throws the two out of synchronicity. It's always been clear what the dour, gray closed access symbol means when compared with the sunny, inviting open access lock and I don't know that that comparison reads as well with 💰 which doesn't necessarily come across as the opposite of .
  • The other aesthetic thing is that 💰 is an emoji so it renders differently on different devices (see examples here) further putting it out of sync with the open access symbol which of course renders consistently across all devices.

On the other hand, I like the impulse to show the profit-driven nature of closed access and wonder if there's some combination symbol that could be designed, incorporating the lock symbol and a dollar sign? I don't know, just thinking aloud. Anyway, thanks for listening to my thoughts. Best, BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 23:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, saw this only now. It has been reverted already, and I can see why. Not sure the grey closed lock is indeed the best option, so let's keep thinking about it and explore some other options. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 22:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
