The most recent champion from your examples is Diana, who is two years old. Riot started focusing more on clarity recently. Look at Azir's passive. It's his turret. Gnar's passive shows both mini Gnar and mega Gnar. Braum's passive shows the fragments his passive applies. Same with Vel'koz. Yasuo's passive icon displays his shield. Jinx breaks the pattern, but Lucian's icon also shows his passive in effect. Then Zac, Thresh, Nami, and Elise. Skipped Quinn, Vi, and Zed because it's debatable whether their icons represent the effects like my other examples, but they do appear to try to communicate what they do.

I can understand they can seem similar, but I sort of addressed that. Straightening the tail on Q would be a bit more appropriate and help differentiate the icon without negatively impacting the overall theme. Her ult doesn't look similar enough to warrent changes for the sole purpose of differentiation.
