I assume this refers to status icons, so here are some important and practical changes that we need for certain status icons:
Regen, Refresh, and Regain all need status symbols that are very distinct from each other and from symbols for status such as HP Boost and STR Boost, for example.
Magic Shield and Physical Shield each need distinct and unique icons. It'd be nice if the icons would allow us to see if our drinks have worn off without looking through our "vague pink splotch" status icons.
Utsusemi icon's number needs to be visible against any background. It's often invisible unless you rotate the camera to put it against a compatible background.
Make the attack/accuracy boost symbol (a sword with an up arrow) a staff with an up arrow if it is magic attack or magic accuracy. Same goes for the sword and arrow down symbol: make it a staff instead if magic-related. Some jobs benefit from both Ascetic's and Stalwart's Tonic, so it would be nice to see which we have active without scrolling through icons and reading descriptions.
Berserk and Defender deserve their own unique icons; most contradictory JA pairs get different icons for opposing abilities (Afflatus Solace/Misery, Yonin/Innin, Saber Dance/Fan Dance). Berserk and Defender can stack to negate each other, but they are still an oppositional pair. It would be great to have a visual reminder that we have one or the other or both active.
