A leaf and a sun. Whats next a sound wave and some ocean mist. I smell Naruto Clans!
Anyway it looks nice. Hopefully mourningtide will continue the planeswalker (i still don't understand how) madness.

RnD during Time Spiral:
Rosewater: "Color Pie, WTF is that, If I want Black to be able to wrath, counter and have green creatures then I will damnit!"
Random RnD guy: "RED AKORMA! FTW!"
Gleemax: "Rosewater has broken out of my mind control!"
RnD after 2008:
MaRo: Hmm how do we fix the problems of pricing with cards like Tarmogoyf and Thoughtsieze
Random RnD Guy: OO lets make a new RED RARITY SYMBOL!
MARO: OMGWTFBBQ! Thats a great idea, we'll call it Mythic Rarity!
Gleemax: NOT AGAIN! CELEB
I like it. One of the better set icons, IMO. It'll look good on cards I do believe.

But look, Lorwyn was a leaf and this is a fire, just like on the basic lands. Well a bit. So maybe it says what about the colors and they get a little highlight in those sets.

hey i have managed to evolve my axolotls by feeding them thyroid glands the thyroxine contained in these gland is enough to change these water dwelling creatures into land based creatures

Tay, that's not evolution. It's metamorphosis. Evolution means descent with heritable modification – individuals cannot evolve, unless they're Pokemon.

It's gotta represent a morning sun, not actual fire.
At least it's not another mask or sword
slightly off topic: worst expansion symbol since Exodus introduced the colored system:
Champs of Kami. Too narrow to read the silver v. gold difference.

I like the expansion symbol. To me it looks like a rising sun with a wave-like corona, great image link to morning and tide. The Logo is okay but I don't really care about logo's they only show up on the posters and the packaging not the actual cards.
So far, most of the spoilers we've seen, mostly are elves. Perhaps expansion Lorwyn is concentrated on elves, so that makes Lorwyn's symbol leaf-ear like. As for morningtide, I have a hunch its has to do something with either white or red or both clans because of its fiery-sun like symbol (Or maybe boros will be part of the Lorwyn world. Heheheh. Joking). If it's gonna be white, I'm liking Morningtide.
Also the third set will be shadowfall (feels black to me). If there's any connection, every set is associated with color. Lorwyn = Green, Morningtide = White/Red, Shadowfall = Black.

White is the one color for equality. So how do you get advantage when you're unwilling to give yourself a leg up? You find a way to turn equality into a weapon. Make it active and offensive. Wrath of God answers this call. Evening the playing field is quite aggressive when you're the one behind. Or you're the one that knew such an event was coming and planned ahead. Wrath of God gives the most defensive color some teeth. - MaRo http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr164

OOoh, I didnt' catch the ear reference. Are you serious?
Do the Lorwyn elves all have antlers? Sorry I'm having a hard time staying right on topic.

Cool stuff, thanks fnord
Thanks IM
It looks stylish and dramatic, but not too busy, in my opinion. I'm genuinely impressed. Probably my favorite expansion symbol so far, actually.

GWAH! You beat me to that joke!!!!
It looks nice though. Need to see the whole thing, but it looks better then Lorwyns so far.
There is an imposter among us...
From the book cover:
Interesting note...Lorwyn (the book) comes out in 4 days? Is this true? That is what Amazon says, at least.

Makes me think of Mirrodin's Fifth Moon dawning.
