Some players have noticed that the newly introduced Unique items in the latest “Campfire Chat” and on the current Public Test Realm are missing their distinctive artwork/icons. Unique Items are traditionally known for their special design in Diablo to make them even more special and exciting.
As myheroscape20 spotted, the art/icon for the new Gathlen’s Birthright helm is the same as the currently live one for Vasily’s Prayer!

On Reddit Adam Fletcher quickly clarified that these are still being worked on and art isn’t final on PTR
It will only be a temporary issue. This is a standard step in the development process and similar situations occurred during older season PTRs as well.
The Importance of Art
With its over 130 different Unique Items, many of them build defining, it is crucial to have distinct art design for each one, to help differentiate them from each other. Each item’s artwork often reflects its lore, purpose, and power, adding a layer of depth and immersion to the game. This attention to detail very often leads to even more excitement once obtaining a new Unique.
