A lock may not be the best icon ui-wise, but banners are literally a bad idea. To be included for review by an ui-designer instead?
Agree. It needs to be something more obvious than the lock right now.
This was my terrible sketch which I forgot to attach.
A badge may be a good way to go. If looking for a Dojo for the first time, one of the key pieces of information for a user is "Can I go here?". A badge is obvious but reasonably unobtrusive way of communicating this.
Sidenote
The tabs at the top right are a little confusing. There's a discontinuity between those and the "Status" badges in the image mid-left, since they seem to be all "status" related. Some small changes might help reduce the clutter a little:
We need to consider how we display what Private actually means to users (like how they get in if it's a Dojo in their school), but without it looking ugly. If we could get a UI designer to look at this, it would be optimal. Otherwise, I might take a whack at it at some point.
Since unverified Dojos are no longer accessible, why bother with the verified symbol at all?
Good point.
Just to give a bit of older context on why it never had any info on how to join. The reason they were originally added is to recognise them as Dojos.
here was originally an assumption that private Dojos would be able to communicate internally (they were mostly in schools) and organise how to sign up. This is why they were just marked private before Zen got redone. It might be useful to validate if private Dojos actually need anything more than already exists with existing notes section, like with regular Dojos.
Closing off, a wall of text has been added to explain the private aspect of a dojo
For private Dojos a banner under the name of the Dojo (see terrible sketch for placement idea) should be added - the lock symbol should be removed as this is not prominent enough.
Text would be;
'Private Dojos are by invite only or for specific people who are members of an organisation or school. The general public should not contact to attend this Dojo.'
cc'ing @Giustina to confirm wording after review.
