Some of the changes make sense, like getting rid of the skulls and faces on DFG, Abyssal, and Glacial Shroud (since skulls and faces have nothing to do with the them of the item, their names, and tend to stand out).

Some of them I'm not really sure why they needed a change, Thornmail, really?

Revolver is the only one that looks worse imo. Doesn't particularly look like a gun anymore, perhaps that was the itention, though.
