The buttons need to sit side-by-side to take away the visual hint that there's an upvote and downvote.

I adapted to the current style rather quickly and did not have trouble or confusion that it might be downvote. I'm willing to bet a lot more users adapted too. The only people who might have confusion are new users. They might get used to it in a matter of days. But yeah, you're not wrong. The feeling of up and down/ positive and negative still remains due to our past experience with other platforms. Maybe it could change if we associate more experience with this design.

They also need to be higher resolution. Or maybe an svg that can scale. Honestly they look cheap.
