Design Review:

Feedback, Authenticated User Badge:
- Jen
  - Likes text white
  - Square icon teal is ok, PP text white helps
- Allie
  - Likes contrast with white; doesn't feel it's overly contrast-y
  - Likes either one
  - Feels the 4th one from the bottom looks more polished/sleek, but really likes the white on the cyan
Feedback on Journo web ui presented as design "test" of system
- Nina warning: This is only a test of the established design system. It is only a test.
  - Cyan as bg to links really doesn't work well in web mockups
  - Info color (purple) works
  - Green doesn't work so well
Action Items
- Left column branding
  - Refine #2
    - John really liked #4
    - Erik neutral
    - Jen cool with #2 or #3
- Convo pane ID Badges
  - Keep authenticated user's intials in white to be uniform w/ other newsroom journalists
- Authenticated user ID badge
  - All white or 4th one from the bottom
  - Not so "punchy" as the cyan is; does it need so much attention called to itself?
