- We thought of including the text along with the icon, because all mediators cannot be represented with just an icon. EIPs can be used for few mediators, but not all mediators cannot be represented with EIP icons. And the text below the icon can be anything (such as a comment) that user wants to add (which will be saved as the sequence/mediation description in the config). - I prefer the icon shape as with concept-3 with a different color scheme (and with out fancy colored icons inside)
