Code review comment for lp:~allenap/launchpad/dd-beta-icon-bug-827508

Thanks for taking the time to find the best way to communicate that this feature is in beta.

If Huw were here, we'd have sorted this fairly swiftly, I think. We need a re-usable recipe for indicating that something's in beta.

I agree that the red strip is better than the original beta icon. However, it looks a little lost on the full page.

Could we re-use the privacy ribbon from the Managing Disclosure project for the full page beta indicator? That would make it more clear that it's talking about the feature/page, rather than just one part of it, and it wouldn't interrupt the flow of the page.

The Teal squad originally allowed for dismissing the privacy ribbon, so that'd be a good way to avoid it being annoying.

I marking this "Needs information" because I want to know how long it would take to re-purpose the Teal squad's privacy ribbon. I think the portlet beta indicator is fine in the circumstances; we need Huw to re-work the design of the portlets generally.
