Visual Design took a pass at the icons in vertical nav. Anyone have any
thoughts? They seem straightforward to me, some were unaltered from the
original chosen.

In my opinion, the infrastructure icon looks unintuitive. How about some kind of treeview?
The rest looks good and straightforward to me.

Hey,

nice, but content and infrastructure is a bit weird to me. The folded
paper icon is overused in many software and its meaning is blurry to
me.

Infrastructure is more like support software/hardware, smaller
servers, forklift or network icon would be better fit. Something like:

http://icons.veryicon.com/ico/System/iOS7%20Minimal/Computer%20Active%20directory.ico

For content, I'd go with a book or library icon or something like
that. The key idea is we handle lot of content, not a sheet of paper.

+1 on infra being unintuitive.

I'd also add that containers might not be obvious. I'd expect at least a
few because nobody runs just 1 container. Something like 1 or 2 is
more like what I'd expect, but at least 3 neatly stacked boxes IMHO.

Another this that overlaps a lot is Configure and Adminstrator. What's
the difference between configuring and adminstrating? I am aware that
this is currently also ambiguous but in the current design the left side
is operational and the right side more global. With a vertical design
you lose this difference so the labels need to be even more obvious. The
same can also be said for infrastructure. Even as an experienced Foreman
user I wouldn't know what to expect where.

Just a thought: is it possible to use Provisioning, Configuration,
Monitoring and Administration? Those are the core items we always
mention so can this be reflected in the menu and still be useful?

Thanks for all the great feedback. I'm going to pass this on to the visual
team and see what they come up with.

All - The icons have been updated based on feedback here. Note that the
cube icon has not changed because of consistency, as it is used in this
manner in other applications.

I'm not sure about this categorization: we have already remote execution
or compliance-related items it the menu under hosts. They don't fit into
provisioning, but I don't see any other meaningful place for them,
and top-level menu doesn't seem to be good fit either.

LGTM, like the infrastructure one

These icons represent exactly what they should. Kudos.
