Um, how about words? In the past icons used to make sense, but now they are often times just a symbol that no one can initially decipher (hence your question).

The dashboard already lists the typically long app names of which there are currently about 15; I think more words would clutter it up and take more mental effort to see the status words.

Don't forget to include the words for screen readers, even if they're not visible to regular browsers. Maybe using the aria-label[^] attribute.

I'd look at MesageBox icons, they're universal and most people get the meaning.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

And you can allow the user to select the colors/background/etc. For extra points.

All right, let's not get carried away here.  This is only for eight people in the application development and support groups, they can just deal with my choices. lol
I do offer a dark theme (default) and a lite theme.

OK - Tick mark
Warning - Triangle
Error - cross (X) or "stop" sign - cross is possibly clearer.
As others have mentioned, making sure a screen reader can also work is important

I have been wanting to build this for some of our vendor applications that I can find a pulse for.

I'd do checkmark = green, ! = yellow, and triangle hazard = red.
|
|
|

My choices are:
- Critical Error - A red letter X
- Warning - A yellow triangle with an exclamation point (!)
- A green checkmark for "all OK"
- A "men working" icon for busy, but no report
- A blue question mark for no status whatsoever

All that was lost is revealed
Our long bygone burdens
Mere echoes of the spring
But where have we come?
And where shall we end?

When I posted this thread:
Do We Have Any Aviation Fanatics Here?[^]
I was hoping there was at least someone out there who shared my fascination with aviation. Not only am I astounded to see how many of you are aviation enthusiasts, but I'm extremely glad to see that I'm not alone. What a great thread!
I'd love to see your favorite aviation-related videos. If you have a favorite photo, share that as well. Do you have a favorite aircraft? post a photo of it. I don't care if it's a bird. If it *flies, and it's one of your favorite videos or favorite photos, then share it.
*house flies, mosquitos, and moths are prohibited
One of the best videos, ever.
