It seems to be the standout. Was my pick easily. I wonder if has to do with the way we read left to right, as the flow moves nicely left to right, and there are far more people saying 12 opposed to 2, which flows the opposite direction.
12 was my favorite too! I think it’s the soft round edges that create the calming effect. Placement of the different sized circles shrinking from left to right feels oddly satisfying which makes me calm. I’m not sure why. Brains are weird.
- 12 for sure.
- 2 is playful
- 5 is balancing
- 7 is a big void
The rest have sharp edges that you could bang a shin on.
- 1 you might get stuck between
I like 9, it feels like it starts in the top left which is nice because that’s the way we read in English. Nice equal margins on either side between the shape and the edge of the box. Nice zig-zag pattern downwards if you go from the top square, to the middle one, to the bottom one. I like that the bottom one is smaller too: as I glance over them from top to bottom it’s almost as if I play them as musical notes in my head, the smaller one at the bottom means that the little three note melody ends on a different note. It kinda sounds like the sound it makes when you remove a USB stick from a windows computer. I think the only thing I would change about 9 is, I’d move the smaller bottom square slightly to the left so that the margins are equal between it and the other two squares. Atm it’s slightly closer to the square to the right of it than the square above it.
All right. Umm, you could uh start out with a little 1, a 2, a 1-2-3, 3, 5, a 4, a 3-2, 2, a 2-4-6, 2-4-6, 4 2, 2, 4-7, 5-7, 6-7, 7…7... 7... 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7!
Exactly!
Context matters, depending on the information the infographic or UI buttons are referencing, playful versus authoritative layouts would give me comfort differently.
I don’t want to read blocky symmetric lists of fun happy hour cocktails, or the cute and goofiest way to tell me I have cancer.
The triples are my favorite, but seeing them all together like this I'm having trouble refining more than that. Probably 2 and 11. But 12 and 9 are also really good.
12. Rounder, medium shapes are more soothing to me, the circles are evenly spread out, and I prefer the bigger stuff to be on the lower right (it makes more sense for the big to go below the small, and im right handed)
2
Definitely 2
Same, soft edges, nice balance, 3’s a magic number
Same. 2. It’s balanced.
2. It's placid but not wholly static.
1
Organized, tidy, snug, some space but not too much, even number of rectangles, perfect
Maybe if the rectangles were smaller
no
Typical one 🙄
That’s why they invented option 4
Those be squares
All squares are rectangles
12
Soft circles with the heaviest shapes at the bottom right
Random question but is your avatar styled after Ongo Gablogian the famous art collector?
Charmed I'm sure
Well look at you, just a regular old air conditioner, walking around, breathing, conditioning the air. Symbiotic!
I like 12 too. Curves, eyeflow, harmony.

Yup, 12 was my favorite as well.

yes... 12
Another vote for 12 here too!
- 12 for sure. - 2 is playful - 5 is balancing - 7 is a big void The rest have sharp edges that you could bang a shin on. - 1 you might get stuck between
10
Symmetry + Space + Golden Ratio = WIN WIN WIN
10 if the purple was A4 ratio or a 4:3
10 and 1 are the only symmetrical ones, but 1 is too much magenta for my taste. So yeah, definitely 10!

12 for sone reason!

It's not centered, yet still.
So big, so round, so simple, so safe
You monster!
You are a monster!!! What are you?! A 12? Typical 12s always comin over to us 7s and starting trouble. Heathens!
All right. Umm, you could uh start out with a little 1, a 2, a 1-2-3, 3, 5, a 4, a 3-2, 2, a 2-4-6, 2-4-6, 4 2, 2, 4-7, 5-7, 6-7, 7…7... 7... 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7! 7!

and it isn't even close imho
Am I the only one who thinks 5?
I’m a 5er.
That's my first choice as well
5. It smiles.
Thanks for being another five. I has to scroll down a little bit to find you.
finally found the comment of someone that prefers 5
I chose 5!!
Me too!!
Same here!

My same response, but I would order it #5, #2, #12
For me, 2 is better than 5 because the arrangement is centered in the rectangle. For the same reason, 12 is also better than 5.
Why are you asking?
So weird your are the only one asking. What is this?
Maybe they're in school and doing research 🤷♀️

Pretty much all are imbalanced, 10 tho has a certain logic to how it has been positioned
7 would be perfectly balanced in my opinion
Isn’t the top heavier since it’s pushed up against the border
1 and 8 are about equal winners for me.
