I’m curious if my aptitude for creating intuitive graphical elements is improving…

    Stream/show is blocked or offline (e.g. seasonal sports), or ‘delete’ it (if testing).

    If it’s supposed to be a person’s face/head: ‘no live host’ (e.g. automated).

    In a broadcasting or mapping context: ‘hotspot’ or repeater/antenna.

    I’m getting a “stop sign” or “do not click” warning.

    Well, the intent was an icon that means “This isn’t working – I want to add a note to report a problem”….

    One problem I’ve never solved is making this clear – if people see the word “Broken”, some thing that means I’m telling them this stream is broken, and people then report “This is NOT broken!”…
