Filter MiniMap Icons and Stash Icons

As it's known POE is FILLED to the brim with all sorts of league specific stuff. Currency, crafting items, gear, uniques etc..

Many players use filters to clean up a lot of the junk and some, like myself, will spend hours upon hours creating and editing filters. Which I appreciate GGG for adding a feature as such into a game.

However, in my tenure of playing PoE. There are times where I see an icon on the minimap and may confuse it for something I don't care about due to the minimap drop icons only being a handful causing overlap in Icon usage for drops.

Could we get additional drop icons that could allow players to have a more graphical experience with drops. Allowing players to really organize their drops more and decide faster if an item is worth picking up?

My thoughts were simple. To generalize my thoughts:
Armor Icon
Weapon Icon
Offhand Icon
Currency Icon
League Specific Icons
Map Icons
Skill Gem Icons

Essentially if there's a Stash Tab for it, have a minimap drop icon replicating that with additional

Additionally, having Glow/Aura around the icons that could be color defined would be awesome! I'm not speaking about the highlight that glows permanent or temporarily. But a glow like influenced items have on the drop icon itself. Just to really define what has dropped at a moments notice.

And the cherry on top would be if this same information could be on the item itself when highlighted in your inventory and/or stash.

And to clarify the icons, I am referring to the Star, Diamond, Circle, square, half moon, triangle, etc. icons that show up on the minimap when your filter shows an item has dropped.

I ask of this for 3 reasons.
1: Less time configuring Filters
Even though my filter is my filter, I often get lost or confused trying to memorize color patterns and remember what my own filter is doing. So really having an in-depth filter is awesome, but a curse on it's own. Additional Icons will alleviate the time spent on filters and allow more gameplay :)

2: Color Blind
While color blind mode is an option, having a graphical notation in the game that can do the same as a color filter but more understandable would be simpler for anyone struggling with color blindness.

3: Simplicity
Maybe some users don't want to see a rainbow when using a filter. Maybe they only want to specify Rares, Uniques, and top drops and use a theme that makes their play more enjoyable. Such as running all Pink :) More defined Icons would help achieve this.
