The spell icons are clean, colorful and evocative. The same can’t be said for other icons.
[This post contains no pictures as that’s not in my skillset. Sorry in advance.]
Wyll’s imp can become invisible. However the icon looks nothing like the invisibility spell (a humanoid silhouette made of horizontal blue lines). It’s a detailed sketch of the imp’s face, 20% of which is drawn in dotted lines. The small icon just looks like an impish face. The larger icon looks ok, but it can only be seen in the tooltip, along with the ability’s name and description.
If I need the tooltip to see what the icon does, the icon isn’t doing its job.
The fix for this one is easy: make the icon a silhouette of the imp drawn with horizontal blue lines. Some will be harder to get right.
The battlemaster maneuvers are a mess. They have a bunch of angry lines, most of which don’t help distinguish them. The difference between ranged and melee maneuvers are a few lines lost in the fray representing a weapon. The difference between types of maneuvers are the many white lines behind the weapon which don’t scan when the icon is small.
Though those two are the worst offenders (to me), all non-spell icons need more iteration to make sure they’re legible as small icons on the hotbar, without need for the tooltip to tell them appart.
