The Goal:
To make it clearer as to which content type a user is viewing. According to some users, it is difficult to tell the different types of content in the stream.
Proposed Changes:
- Add the icon that we use in the tabs next to the author text line
- Add the name of the content type ('poll', 'post', etc.) to the right of the icon. This would be the same color as paragraph text, not grayed out, to increase emphasis.
- Remove the word 'submitted' to gain the horizontal space
Rationale:
Since the information in the activity stream wouldn't appear unless it was submitted, that text is not necessarily value-added. With its removal, we can add valuable metadata around what the post represents. The icons increase the emphasis and can be styled in the future. This is scalable for new content types regardless of the name length.
Looking forward to hearing what you think about it and whether I can improve it further.

Zarabadoo commentedThis will add a class the to the type in the submitted line of the node and also adds a new document icon that is the proper shade of gray. One thing of note is that the page and document types are using the same icon as that is what was the pattern previously.
Comment #6
Zarabadoo commentedThe posts should now have icons.
