Recently, I've noticed that the classic purple lightning bolt icon , used in other JIRA apps to signify an epic, has been replaced with a multiline star symbol icon
. In addition, the legacy icon no longer appears in the palette.
Hello and Welcome to Atlassian Community @Jack Wilkins
There was a Cloud Changes note about this back in May (“Updated icons for idea types”). Atlassian essentially refreshed the JPD icon library so admins can better distinguish between different idea types like Opportunities, Solutions, or Experiments.
You can check out the new options under Project settings → Types and workflows.
It was rolled out around 18 may.

Sadly, this change breaks continuity with our broader implementation of icons in JIRA. This change now requires that we support two standards for visual cues referencing epics and features.
Ideally, rather than replace the orginal icons the JPD team would have added to the set of supported icons.
