The only two icons that concerns me is the power threads, the perspective of it compared to other boots is very weird and the mjollnir ( the icon is not very detailed and not easy to read ).

Agreed, a lot of them seem really muddy and hard to quickly recognize. The old icons had more plain backgrounds and distinct silhouettes. I do like some of the new icons, but not most. I think I dislike the new Magic Stick icon the most, looks like a screwdriver with a ton of blue glow around it where before it actually looked like a magic wand.
Also, the Boots of Elvenskin icon is a bracer for some reason instead of actual boots.

the ring of basilius needs its active/inactive image swapped
I dont' like the new icons as well. They look similar to the HoN items imo.
Maelstrom looks more badass than Mjolnir..
One thing I've noticed is that items look really unnatural in the new HUD. Specifically items with colored backgrounds like iron branch.
Boots of Elvenskin aren't boots any longer. Although I can see why you wouldn't want them to be, what with all the other boots increasing movement speed.
I think I prefer the old icons for Vitality Booster, Energy Booster and Point Booster. The old ones seem to have more inner flow, while the new ones are solid blobs of color.
really big fan of the new items, specially orchid, so amazing!
but as said before,
mjollnir needs some work, as well as boots of elvenskin, it should more like a boot and not a bracer.
but good job thanks valve!
