: Anotate a List within a Presentation: As good/ok/bad I want to get away from: ticks & crosses - crosses give an impression something is wrong; red/amber/green - red gives the impression something

@Reiling762

If the presentation is not highly formal, you could go with smileys (but please no emoji). This might sound somewhat childish, but can turn out suprisingly good.

Some examples

Good
Ok
Bad

If you like the idea, have a look at the unicodeblock of smileys.

So, for this "Above Average", "Expected", "Below Average" points.
You don't want to express that some thing is just "wrong" per se, but under the desirable.

Since Ok and Good are actually Good and Very Good You can color them as blue/green, Very Good being an upward green triangle. Good being a blue circle or square, seeming stationary and impartially positioned. and for the "Bad" i think a rectangle resembling a minus symbol would be okay since it is neither too harsh as a X mark, nor too disappointing as a downward triangle. As for the colors, something in the range of orangish-yellow would convey the concept of "insufficient" while not giving the idea of "downright bad".

You can even opt out of using colors as well, just symbols, even though this could be a little counter-intuitive for the ones you are presenting to.
