That's really interesting, could you give me more references on visual
identity guidelines?
I'm currently working on the french wikiversity design, where a lot a
"emphase box" are used. The help page [1] will give you an idea of how
they look. I already began to switch some of them to a new theme[2] I
designed and that the community accepted (they only reduced the icon
size).
But now I think that the whole "box everywhere" thing was not the way
to go, so I made a new proposition[3] which only use a left dark margin
and a simple icon, like those from the noun project. I'm waiting
comunity feedback on this proposition, and even if it's targeted to the
french wikiversity, feel free to provide me some. You probably don't
need to understand french to have a look and have an opinion. ;)

Flagging this bug for the folks on this list:
"Make Wikipedia distinct by styling of a prominent UI feature
differently than the default"
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51912 [1]
To be clear, I know about ongoing work to develop and implement
visual identity guidelines. The bug above is related but much
narrower
in scope, referring specifically to a problem incurred as a
side-effect of the popularity of MediaWiki as a platform.
