Why are there even so many icons? We could reduce them to three...

Put two of them with the search... wait, that's a different skin. Though really, why can't this do that too?

But seriously yeah this needs... sorting out.

Minerva munges the two notifications indicators together, an approach I'm not a fan of TBH. It's an annoyance/confusion when I see big red numbers only to see someone was thanking me.

Interesting idea. Not sure I'm a fan of that from a UI perspective (which of the icons go with the search bar?).

Also I think it would be less pretty. :)

The original design was for it to only turn red for new alerts, blue for new notices, and grey for nothing new... but honestly I was kinda thinking we just be lazy by default and hide the notices on mobile. Because how important are they really? >.>

Hiding the "notice" icon would be interesting too. Not a fan of hiding the red indicator icon.

You could put it in the user drop down?

I'm like 50 50 for doing the same thing for the inbox icon, but that one would need to light up then (maybe?) and Good Luck With That.

I don't see why all of the icons are different sizes? And why is there such a big gap between the alerts and notices icon?

@media screen and (max-width: 850px) {
  #user-tools h2, .sidebar-chunk h2 {
    /* width: 30px; */
    /* height: 30px; */
    width: 29px;
    height: 28px;
  }
  #site-tools h2 {
    /* right: 4.95em; */
    right: 4.2em;
  }
  #p-logo-text {
    /* left: 4.45em; */
    left: 3.5em;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 850px) {
  #personal-extra {
    /* right: 7.5em; */
    right: 5.5em;
  }
}

Are changes for a quick fix, from what I can see, or at least, what would produce a workable solution in the interim based on the image above — or at least, those work for a mobile screen with a width >=350px, anything below, and it just seems a bit silly to keep working with the Wikipedia logo, and swapping it out for the 'W' seems amicable enough.
