We had an internal discussion about the icons and designs. Plan is to get the line art representation of the 1st and 4th concepts and draw the icons, rather than using complex artwork. The icons will be grouped according to what is used in ESB web console. These grouped icons will be differentiated by the shape of the icon container, and the color of the icon.The text in the icons will be kept since the repeating text below the icons should be the description that the user is adding. Unfortunately my previous images does not represent that idea. I am in the process of creating a new screen to visualize the proposed concept.
