Wonderful proposal!

Another consideration is not needing any type of iconography and just create the status as a pill/badge HTML element that just says Prefix Reserved

One icon that comes to mind though is a tag + lock, which conveys the idea of a name/id & reserved/locked. But that may compete with the existing tagging functionality.

This could sit next to upcoming work revolving around build provenance which will have this type of icon:

i.e. Forgive my 5 second mockup here:

@JonDouglas I really like the other icon that you proposed, I would definitely like to add that to the discussion of potential icons. I do, however, see the potential for people to associate it with the existing tags concept on NuGet mistakenly. Perhaps some customer research could be done here about the icon options?

I did consider the idea of doing away with the icon all-together (probably should have mentioned this in the proposal, thank you for calling it out!) However, I thought that keeping an icon present would still retain the importance of prefix reservation for security reasons and keep things consistent with what users are used to. I do think that this is a good option to consider though! Would love to get some more opinions

Great write-up!
I like the icon in this proposal, but I like the icon in what @JonDouglas proposed as well.

I don't have an opinion about the text beyond real estate considerations.

I have a slight preference towards the icon I linked.

This lgtm. May want to do a quick team review to finalize the settled concept & merge.

@albarry4 - How can we validate the icons with customers ahead of making the change?
