"Put yourself in the shoes of a newcomer, or someone who wasn't involved in the previous discussion... why is that TTK the icon of the just-ended event?"

Unfortunately, understanding the icon involves understanding the origin of the face it's using. First place I saw it was as a booru tag, so I understand what it's getting at through that (The unfortunate FX investors... or LSC investors, in this case). Is he sad the event is over? I could understand being sad over an event ending. Dissapointed/Frustrated? Game runs on RNG; many probably leave the event without getting what they wanted...

As you said: "this icon clearly doesn't state why he looks like that", so how it is interpreted is a matter of what reasoning the person puts into the image's visage. The only interpretation I can't come up with, short of some terrible mental twisting, is the one where it's insulting newer TTKs. Without taking a route that involves taking the game entirely too personally (TTK is sad, I am TTK therefore this is clearly referencing ME, since this is addressing me directly then it must be insulting me for being sad), I cannot understand the commotion.

It is difficult for me to support changes to the wiki based on some being offended when I can find no reasonable comprehension of their offense. I can't empathize with their plight so I tend to dismiss it. I'd be happy to understand their point of view but I just can't see it. Being offended does not mean being right.

Moving on to the more important bits,

There are a few icons that are covering the same concept and could be combined: Community and Wiki Staff especially are covering the same material (wiki community users/meta/editing talk), and Anime and Manga (extended media). I'd suggest combining the staff links under the Community header and use the Staff icon for it. The cat doesn't mean much, a collage of user icons does.

Might extend it to Events and Seasonal as well, but I like 6 icons.
