*Gordian Knot's icon was originally different, but was changed in update 7.1.0.2 after it was discovered to have possible associations with musician Lorin "Bassnectar" Ashton due to the similar appearance of his personal logo.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/13vxgqt/lil_graphic_design_quirk_on_the_new_dungeon_exotic/</ref> The patch notes for this change erroneously state that Protective Weave's icon had been changed; this is untrue.
