#No, keep the current design

• Placing the main menu on the right is awkward

• The icons are cryptic. In particular, it seems nobody can find the review icon; on Stack Overflow, where the new top bar has been tested, reviewing has declined a lot

There are probably a lot of things contributing to this in one way or another. But it's hard to ignore that, after the initial "novelty" spike, the activity in review has been declining pretty consistently ever since we changed the textual link to an icon.

• Textual links (in the old design) are easier to see at a quick glance

• The search box is unnecessarily huge now and changes size in a disturbing way

• The numbers on the messages and achievements icons are smaller and therefore harder to read, particularly if you're trying to optimise resolution on a small laptop screen

• Clicking the "Stack Exchange" logo does nothing

• The colour-change of the achievements icon isn't discernable if you have deuteranopia (red-green colour-blindness)

• The Help button (a question mark) is replaced with the review button when the user is able to review. So, how do we find the help center when we want to point new users to some part of it?
