Why rename / convert IP to blue essence and not vise versa?

Just to be clear, I think the changes Riot has planed are well thought and are going in the right direction, here I am only commenting on the naming change.

So... to the point. I think that replacing a name so widely used as IP (influence points) that also makes some (not a lot, but some) with Blue Essence, a newer, less used, more difficult and slow to say word is a bad move. Also, with the way the client looks right now (with the minimalist and gray-ish design) the blue symbol looks out of place (if it stays the way it was shown in the video)

Because it's part of the hextech crafting thematic. Shards are completed with or disenchanted into essence and disenchanting shards is now the only way to get essence.
