Make liked and unliked icons more distinctive from each other

This is a very minor request, but I just noticed that it's very hard within the Cover Stories macros, and in the News Hub, to tell the difference between news (blog) posts I have and haven't liked. It seems currently the thumbs up sign just gets bolded, and turned black, but the difference is so subtle it's really hard to see (screenshot attached). Would be great if the thumbs up got filled in as well, to really distinguish the two. Currently I find myself sometimes accidentally unliking posts because I didn't realize I'd liked them already.

I never actually closed this one ... but we improved the visibility back in version 2.14 of the Enterprise News. My bad!

A quick update on this one: we are implementing right now that in News Feed macros (Corporate and Personal News Feed) the "liked" status is visible better. It will be colored like it is in the microblog (global link colour for "liked"). We were able to squish this one in because it indeed is a minor change.
However, on news tiles it's a different story and way more complex, since we have a lot of cases to consider - two different tile designs, the various different teaser types and a variety of possible background colors. Simply setting this to one fixed color value, like we can do in the feed macros, would lead to even worse visibility in a bunch of very likely cases, so we have to figure out a better way there. Can't make any promises on an ETA, but at least for the feed macros it will be improved with the next release.

Angela Gaida: Out of curiosity, why can't you just fill it in once liked, and leave it outlined when not liked? And do this with whatever color it would be regardless? It seems not that far off from your current implementation..

Misha Thornburgh: Actually that's a neat idea. When we implemented this (which was a while back ...) we didn't have the new design yet (which is the main source of trouble with a color indication) and I think we didn't have filled icons available .. something along those lines. I don't fully remember. But I'll run this idea by my team. Thanks!

Merged in a post:
Better visibility if a news was liked or commented

Currently it's hard to differ between a news I've liked or comment and one I've not (e.g. the icon is only a bit darker but not very much).
I would suggest to make it easier to differ which news I've liked/commented and which not. e.g with a blue liked and green commented icon
This issue is about the cover stories macro.

I regularly unlike posts I had already liked, but couldn't tell because of the poor design. This should be an easy fix, right? Just use a secondary color you're using for something else already... #prettyplease #withsugarontop

Thank you for the detailed description of your use case. This helps us a lot to understand the exact problem.
I will report that to the development teams. I will keep you updated! :)
