Help my tab jungle with more favicons 🌿🗂️

Dear Asana teams and forum friends,

I’ve had this in my head for years, but I always felt like a total weirdo for even saying it out loud… so I kept it to myself. :upside_down_face:

Then today my colleague @Filippo_Baj that gave me the courage to post this.

The “weird” request: different favicons for App, Website & Forum

Please could the Asana design teams review the favicons across the different families of Asana web products (at least: Website, Asana app, Forum), to create slight differences?

For people like me (maybe neurodivergent, maybe just chronically tab hoarders) who work with a LOT of tabs, the current favicons are similar that it becomes genuinely hard to differentiate what’s what at a glance.

Example of the jungle of tabs

… where we could find a large variety of Asana tabs without having any (native) way to differentiate them.

If you fix this, you’ll save a small but very persistent population of power users from squinting at their tab bar.

Thanks from me, and from Filippo (who bravely admitted the struggle too :wink:).

Also, please vote for my request (top left !!) :grin:

I voted, @Arthur_BEGOU . But I think there is something fundamentally wrong with web browsers that clearly need to evolve into a SaaS workspaces!

Perhaps grouping tabs could work for your use case, so you could create groups (or containers, as they are called in some browsers) for each of your Asana ‘worlds’.

Sure, would be nice; voted.

I think I got used to spotting a slight size difference between a three-dot Asana event signup vs the others!

This was my where my thought process was going too. I also saw that there are some extensions that would actually solve this issue.

There’s also a setting in Preferences → Interface → under the Other options called “Show counts on browser icon” that may possible help with this.

Interface

In your browser tab it’ll look like this, but it of course reverts back once everything is cleared.

Not weird at all, @Arthur_BEGOU. I voted!

Thanks @Levar_M .
That’s a good idea and I’ve just activated it. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Though, it is not exactly solving my issue.
While it helps when there is new activities on some articles I would be monitoring, I’m mostly interested to navigate on multiple tabs, even when there isn’t any activity.
For example, if I’m supporting a client with a Asana related questions, and I’m searching for solutions online, I would like to be able to easily distinguish between:

  • the 5 tabs with Forum articles
  • the 5 tabs with Asana projects
  • the 5 tabs with Help Center articles
