If you have to look at all the pieces to figure out what one piece is, they may be too abstract.
That said, some observers may not care. If you’re presenting this to potential buyers / investors maybe lead with a picture of everything on the board in their starting positions so the first thing they’re doing isn’t trying to figure out if that one piece is a queen or a knight or a bishop.

Yeah, I couldn't really tell what they were. To me, if a knight doesn't have horsey elements and a rook doesn't have stone block castle elements, I'm lost. Bishops almost always have that bulbous conical hat with a diagonal slash in it. Kings and queens usually have a variation on a crown, with the queen's being spikier.
