I've re-opened the "thanks icon is creepy" bug.

I think it's a serious problem.

I think we need to separate out the discussion for each of the icons. It sounds like the consensus right now is that...

-- Some people don't like the user icon, independent of thanks

-- Some people don't like the thanks icon, independent of the what the mobile user icon is.

-- Doesn't sound like a lot of people think the original problem Kaldari and Jon brought up (that right now they look somewhat similar) is that big of a deal. Jared echoed this just now and I agree.

If the above is accurate we can call the case closed on Kaldari's original question. ;)
