Openstreetmap-carto: Pixel aligning some icons

[Tomasz-W]

Some of icons which I have designed at the beginning of my activity here, was not pixel-aligned, but we have added them anyway. Now I fixed them and reuploaded to Gist.
I also propose to make a line in amenity=atm icon thinner to make it less prominent.

_(Current icon on the left, fixed icon(s) on the right)_

Other icons in need of alignment that have been on my radar are:

• tourism=motel
• amenity=car_rental
• amenity=bicycle_rental
• shop=car_repair
• shop=car
• amenity=car_wash

[Tomasz-W]

@meased I've checked icons which you have mentioned, most of them was mostly pixel-aligned (it's impossible to do a full pixel-aligning, because it's not a Minecraft ;) ). As hotel icon was not pixel aligned, and other accomodation types has copied bed shape from this icon, I fixed them all:

• tourism=apartament
  
• tourism=guest_house
  
• tourism=hostel
  
• tourism=hotel
  
• tourism=motel

@kocio-pl Do you agree that pixel aligned versions of all icons are better? Which one of information=board do you prefer?

@Adamant36 It would be rather easy PR to do, because it's only icon files change. Would you like to take care of it?

[lakedistrictOSM]

@Tomasz-W The thin version of the info board is better.

[kocio-pl]

I also like the thin version of the info board. I would like to see rendering especially of wayside_shrine and atm to know the difference. It's good to remember that post box has the same slot shape, so maybe it should be tweaked too.

[Adamant36]

Sure. I'll do it after the other PRs I'm working on get done and the icons get figured out.

[Tomasz-W]

@kocio-pl Post box hava a similar slot shape (round corners), but it's a 1px wide, so difference between proposed atm icon (with sharp corners) would be unvisible in this part.

[Hufkratzer]

Maps that are mapped in OSM are not movable and not foldable. The wiki says it's a

board with a map

Therefore the current icon is a bit inappropriate / misleading. What about an icon with a board with a map, something like . This is a bit harder to distinguish from the icon for an information board: , but that's how it's also in real life; some boards contain written information and also a map.

[kocio-pl]

I prefer clear symbol (which sometimes is not 1:1 to reality) than trying to be correct but too complex and not clear.

[meased]

Agree with @kocio-pl. Icons are symbolic, not miniature depictions of real life.

[Tomasz-W]

@kocio-pl What do you think about current amenity=atm zoom level (17)? I think it's too early for such a small feature, and it should be moved higher, maybe even to only z19, but as I don't have payment card I might be wrong.

[kocio-pl]

I agree. It has nothing to do with payment card, it's about showing things according to their size:

I don’t agree with the idea that showing an atm (or when to show it) has to do with its size

[kocio-pl]

What are your arguments and (more important) what's your proposition?

[Adamant36]

@Tomasz-W, is this ready to go? Good job btw. The new icons look way better.

[Tomasz-W]

@Adamant36 Yes, it's ready.

[polarbearing]

Good effort! Should we consider #3393 here already (cleaning metadata)?
