Icons on the Records search page should be in columns
Currently the icons for each record are right justified. example:
but the makes it hard see which have image and which are connected to people.
It would be easier to read with icons in columns

@Michael Benzi Since Suggestions are now closed, I'm taking this method to respond to your suggestion. https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/157595/icons-on-the-records-search-page-should-be-in-columns#latest
The icons are in columns when you are at a location where all images can be viewed. I'm at my Affiliate Library this afternoon, and I'm working in old German Catholic records, which cannot be viewed at home.
This is a screenshot when I'm not logged into the Affiliate wi-fi.
The same view when I am logged into the wi-fi and can view the images of the records, not just the index. The icons are aligned in columns.

That's just a side effect of the availability: the icons are still actually right-justified, exactly the same way they are at home, but because the last two "slots" are always filled at the AL/FHC, the third icon always ends up in its own column. If you do a search with a mix of results from, say, the SSDI (which has no images) and various US censuses (which always do), then the icons will not be in homogenous columns even at the FHC.
Question about the suggestion: should there be four columns, with separate ones for torsos (hints) versus stublets (attachments), or would those two kinds be OK to combine in one column, given that they never occur together?

Ummm, your second image doesn't really show enough examples to say that.
You need a source that is linked to a person AND without an image to show the columns.
I'll show another example that needs columns:
Between the two of these you can see 5 icons: The tree and person icons can be in one column, The two image icons in the middle column, and the document in the last.
