Sorry, but I'm afraid this design is still a thumbs down from me. 🫣

(Plus, for a redesign, we'd also have to take into consideration compatibility with #609 )

[jguddas]

I think it's more lucidy and has fewer guideline violation, it doesn't need to be perfect.

[jamiemlaw]

For reference, GitHub's accessibility icon uses this kind of design:

Open lucide studio

And a very crude representation of that style of figure walking:

A few more ideas for consideration, just to have in the backlog:

Open lucide studio

Open lucide studio

Open lucide studio

Open lucide studio

Obviously not the last one!

What about a wheelchair user and cyclist variant?

[jamiemlaw]

For the wheelchair, I'm thinking something like this but it might require some extra work.

Open lucide studio

There would also need to be a version for a wheelchair user on the move.

For the cyclist, I've seen some of the past attempts by other users in this repo. Here's where my head's currently at:

[karsa-mistmere]

The current primary (intended) use case of this icon is to represent accessibility, this redesign does not fulfil this use case:

As such, I'm against it.

Why does it not fulfill that use case, it's literally used that way on GitHub?

But yes, the accessibility icon in a lot of places is based on Vitruvian Man.
I'm not opposed to adding a circle-person-standing, I'm actually quite in favor #921, hehe.

[jamiemlaw]

I'm torn on the issue.

Some icon designs look much better to me in the stick figure style, e.g. wheelchair user, cyclist; but others like standing, walking and running feel way more "Lucide"-y in the fatter outline style.

In any case, here are some potentially suitable stick figure designs, with ever-increasing leg gap. I'm favouring the last two.

Or taller still?

[jguddas]

I love the GitHub-y version, what I struggle with is consistency, how are we gonna manage to update the cyclist and wheelchair-user to feel just as awesome?

The stick figure version also feels a bit male to me, while the GitHub-y version feels quite a bit more gender neutral.

[jguddas]

I love this GitHub-y version and want us to merge this 🙏

I agree with @jamiemlaw on this one, I like the stick figures more.

Can we do a vote on this one?

The stick figure has a guideline violation of not having a 2px gap in the head, and I hate that.
It also just generally feels male, and I prefer the GitHub-y one due to being more gender-neutral.

My vote:

In the case of icons representing wheelchair accessibility or universal access, because these are somewhat brand-like (i.e. well-recognised, standardised), I think they should probably remain as stick figures.

However, I think that the outline style of person should also be added, and people can choose to use it as an accessibility icon if they so choose.

If I were to be really pedantic:

• person-standing - change that to this icon: a person standing, arms down . Or even change it to person and make person-standing an alias.
• accessibility - keep as is, the dynamic wheelchair icon.
• universal-access - whatever the new stick figure design becomes, rename it to this, as I think that's how the symbol originated, a design from Apple.
• person-arms-out - add the new outline figure under this name (or similar), and give it a tag of access, accessibility.

We should not be recreating copy righted works, be it the wheelchair user or universal access symbol.

In short, I am trying to get rid of the wheelchair icon, but it's hard since it's quite useful, just like the brand icons are quite useful.

I do like your idea of creating a person icon + person-arms-out icon.

Another idea for a wheelchair user:

Open lucide studio

Certainly an improvement on my previous attempt, but still not sure how well it works at low-res.
