Add more selections for Note Icons please.

Dear Logos

Please add more selections in the Notes Icons panel. Surely it would not be too difficult, and it could significantly help with the visual identification of notes.

Here is an existing feedback suggestion for those who are interested in giving support. This suggestion also includes adding your own images which would be nice but a broader selection would be a great start.

Just curious: If you use all the different icons now, do you have a list to remember what each one means to you?

I mainly use shapes with different colours. I don't use all of them because many are meaningless. I would prefer to have a wider set to choose from. There is a standard set of emojis icons, maintained by The Unicode Consortium, a non-profit organisation, which many software applications use. There are over 3000 available within the standard set. That would provided a wider range for everyone to choose from. I would prefer to use emoji icons that have some visual connection to their use so I don't have to refer to a list.

I have documented my annotating strategy in OneNote; not only what each icon means to me but also what colors to use where. Don't laugh but I have 'protocols':

- a Red protocol, where I only use red icons in Bibles. I don't highlight in Bibles because I find it too distracting, and I don't want to be bothered constantly turning notebooks on and off. I use red because 'words of Christ' are already in red, and I don't use red anywhere else.

- a Green protocol, where I mainly use green icons and green highlighting in other books. I use the foreground style for highlighting because it’s less distracting to me than the layer on top of the text I would get from a highlighter pen.

Other than these two main colors, I also use Orange highlighting with the scissors icon to show disagreement, and I use Purple underlining with the X icon for typos I come across. I also have other special-purpose notebooks where I use a couple of other colors, but these are used very limitedly.

I do use several different icons but I chose them to be as intuitive as possible and I don’t have to think twice about which ones to use (e.g. star for my own notes, quotation bubble for excerpts from other resources, question mark for when I have questions or need further clarification, etc). For my own usage, I’m satisfied with the available icons. I have used emojis in the body of my notes and can see how they would a nice option for icons but that’s neither here nor there for me.

In the early days I had a complex system of highlighting but, coming back from a longish break from Logos, I wanted as much simplicity as possible. It took me a while, but I cleaned up my previous highlighting (as much as I could find!) to suit my new system. I found it helpful to document it as a procedure to keep from slipping back into the old, complicated system, but it also made me become more purposeful with what I chose to draw attention to for later.

I to would like to see more Icons for Notes. I would like to see one for "W" with different colored backgrounds, one for many different letters of the alphabet with different colored backgrounds.

I would like to see some Greek letters with different colored backgrounds.

Aaaah! A guy can dream eh? [8-|]

I hope we also get a 'hide' option if we ever get so many; I already feeling overwhelmed at the possibility of so many icons to choose from 🙈
