What's the question mark icon?

I don’t really get the question mark icon next to “leave feedback” on the top right corner.

First, it’s not clickable, which feels strange.

Second, I don’t really associate a question mark with “feedback”. I associate it with “help”. I guess “help” is a part of the “leave feedback” function, but it still feels strange.

My guess is that it’s there to make “leave feedback” stand out, but I think the big arrow on the home page already does that effectively.

Is there another way to emphasize “leave feedback”?

Thanks for the note, John. We use the icon several places around the site to represent feedback. It started with an exclamation point, but that felt like a bit much. so this was the second attempt, but I see your point about relating it to ‘help’. I’ll keep thinking about it and we might still try something else.

Yes, I agree it should be clickable. I’ve got that on my list. Thanks again!

Any ideas for other punctuation that might more effectively signify feedback?

A crab maybe?

Sorry. Tangential. But pretty cool, eh? Thank you Rives.

Maybe a notepad with a pencil?

That was my thought. I’ll get that up and see how it looks.
