Guys, how about flattening the icons altogether, using material icons (or, alright, FontAwesome) as a basis? I've found myself flattening the CMS interfaces the past 3 clients, removing gradients etc. You could use a custom icon, and color it based on its status, then play with drop shadows, borders(glow shadows). I kinda feel we have the opportunity to make everything even cleaner and I feel image icons - if nothing else - should become svg's. Things are looking a bit weird on my retina here.
Otherwise - I prefer the full orange badge (Version 2) - the cleaner, simpler the interface, the more intuitive it is. It really is just an indicator - a flat round dot/circle.

Hi Paul,
For me version two, however I would be concerned with the bottom bar being
crunched on smaller devices maybe a combo of the two for small/medium
devices? So version one for phones and ...more

I like version two better too. I find it more intuitive and I think the
Preview button gets the weight it deserves in that design as an important
action in the workflow. In version one users may ...more

I tend to prefer version 2 better, although I definitely think that they'd
benefit from some user testing with some copywriters / cms users.
One thing that occurs to me is that if the typical ...more

Often the first step is preview (or review) even before edits are
considered, that is why I was interested to see if moving it from the end
step, to any step in the process. For example changing ...more

Maybe the button label needs to be something other than 'Preview'. That
label to me implies that you can view changes before you commit them (by
hitting Save or Save & Publish), but unless ...more

Some interesting ideas there, I will have a play to see if that makes sense
in practice.

I prefer version 1. The reason being that I think it makes more sense to
keep the navigation in one place (header) and actions together in the
footer. It also looks a lot less busy than version 2. ...more

I prefer version 1 as well, for similar reasons to Michael. If version 2,
perhaps the button could be more subtle? Though, even knowing it lives
there on desktop, it took me longer to find it in the ...more

Hi guys, I got inspired -- here's a mockup of how I envisioned it on mobile -- we could play with levels (e.g. children pages are "inwards a bit", so the deeper you go, the subtly darker the container goes - test of that in #2.
I just see blocks that would work well on mobile using your finger or on desktop with the mouse. On desktops, if we choose, we could probably remove the lines since they'd have to stretch across the container..

Oh, whole point of this being that the color of the icon can indicate the state of the page...
