Why are the issue types symbols different now?

The bugs have now an exclamation mark as symbol.

The impediments have a bug symbol.

This seems counterintuitive.

Hi @Shivant Kathusing , 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community. 

The icons of that project might have been affected by the Jira UI change. 

You or your Jira Administrator can easily change the Work Items type's icon form a Company Manged project by following these simple steps:

1. Go to Jira Administration by clicking on the gear Icon on the top right of the screen.

2. Select Work Items (previously known as Issues).

3. Select Work Item Types (previously known as Issue Types).

4. Find the Work Item Type where you need to change the icon. 

5. Select Edit from the three dots (actions) button. 

6. Click on "Select Image" and choose the icon you need.

Hope this helps!! 

Fede.

We will give it a try when the Jira Administrator is available again. Thank you in advance for your solution.

No problem at all. 

I you have any further concern about this, here's the Atlassian Support knowledge base: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/how-to-change-the-icon-for-issue-types-1209871380.html

Notice that it is not fully up-to-date, but it will be more than useful for this and other topics. 

Cheers, 
Fede.
