Can’t take your eyes off this one. Literally, the eyes are the whole test A or B? Go with your gut, don’t overthink it.
P.S. The client already picked one. I’ll tell you which after you vote.
Going with my gut: Option 2, Mark. The unobstructed eye ring with NOTICE is hypnotic on its own, while the Maison Cura card in Option 1 covers the best part of the eye. Curious if the client agreed.
Even a small indicator can change how the entire interface feels
Adaptive Position
The badge placement changes depending on the icon’s shape and available space. The result feels more visually balanced but requires individual adjustments.
Fixed Position
The badge always appears in the top-right corner. This creates a consistent and predictable system, but on some icons it may feel disconnected or awkwardly placed.
What matters more in a design system: consistency or optical balance?
