[MD extensions] which icon to use for 'info'

Project Member Reported by dschuyler@chromium.org, Oct 16 2017

Issue description

Hi Alan, I'm looking for a UX call (or approval) on which icons to use in reporting problems in the Extensions developer UI. 

We use three kinds of icons in this UI:

  - info (for: hey, this line of code doesn't look right)

  - warning (for: this line of code looks wrong)

  - error (for: this line is wrong and we're not gonna run it)

See mock-icons.png and md-icons.png (attached).


Do these md-icons.png icons look okay?

Specifically, is using the 'info' icon okay instead of using, say, the 'help' icon?
 The 'help' icon more closely matches the old UI, but I'm concerned that may create confusion with using the help icon as, well, a help icon. Help icons can normally (in my experience) be clicked on to get more help (and this isn't like that).

alternate-icons.png shows some other icons that may work. The 'add circle' may be rotated to show something similar to an error icon in the mock.

In the weekly UI meeting (yesterday) Alan decided that the md-icons.py were good. This is what they are currently set to, so WontFix.
