I much prefer the more traditional "@" sign.

Looks (perhaps confusingly) a bit like the sequential project icon...

perhaps its an arrow of productivity piercing the heart of laziness and procrastination

The new icon is a bit too conspicuous, I think. It pokes. It prods. But the new, huge red flag in the filter ribbon actually made me hide the whole ribbon! Of course, that's only temporary, I'm sure. Or it would be the very first ugly UI element to come from Omni.

Obviously you missed the "flagged" toolbar button from a couple of builds ago. :-)

I also prefer the "@" symbol.

Actually, I prefer the first alpha build versions of the full "@" symbol. The latest versions had the tail cut off and reasons from Omni are described in another thread.

Unfortunately I don't have any screen captures of the first builds but I'm sure it's not hard to imagine what a full "@" symbol looks like ;-)

Well you can call me an ugly American but I always thought our flag was rather attractive but then again I'm sure most nationalities probably think the same of theirs as well. :)

Anyway, I agree that a neutral icon was more appropriate.

the flash is really not nice. the @ was good

I agree. My first thought on opening this build was ... Pow!

The flag filter should be a white outline, like the other ribbon items. But maybe our fearless ninjas did this to attract our notice, like the big smiley on the first build with repeat items.

However, I don't like the new context icon, not at all. Too bold, and it makes it harder to see the nesting.

I also notice the kitchen strainer is gone ... I liked that one too, but the new icon is not obtrusive. It just doesn't say "filter" to me.

I'm not a big fan of the new context icon either. However, I don't enjoy being coerced into using "@" symbol. Especially when is doesn't apply, e.g. "@" errand.
