If you visit the Fate Reforged page on WOTC's product info site, you will see this image as the game day information icon. The shape of the horns is already on a lot of images referencing Ugin.
It's not much, but I thought it might start some discussion

Seems reasonable to assume that Ugin will get printed as a planeswalker once we start doing the time warp either in fate reforged or dragons of tarkir. Though this is probably not the walker card art
Really? I mean, I know Ugin isn't a hugely significant character (so far), but they couldn't come up with a better look for him than this?
Hopefully this is just one of those things where it's just one piece of crappy art for an otherwise better-looking character (like with Marchesa's crappy card art vs. her superior promo art).
Bolas' horns are smooth and curved close together at the tips, in between the horns floats an oval shaped gem. Bolas has Demonic style wings. (See: Nicol Bolas, PLaneswalker)
Ugin (pictured above) has angled horns that end spaced far apart, no gem. His wings are feathered like an angel.
Nah Ugin isn't one of the Elder Dragons, but he does bare close resemblance because he is some sort of descendant of the elder dragons not sure but I'm really excited to find out.
Bolas' horns are smooth and curved close together at the tips, in between the horns floats an oval shaped gem. Bolas has Demonic style wings. (See: Nicol Bolas, PLaneswalker)

Thank you! Anytime a sentient-looking dragon art pops up, people keep seeing Nicol Bolas. There are other dragons, you know.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

Ugin could be the Tarkir version of an Elder Dragon. The Elder Dragons we know, Bolas and his siblings, were from Dominia.
If he is a planeswalker, I hope he gets some kind of timewalk ability, most likely wouldn't be the plus ability but would till be nice. Nd I bet him and new sarkhan could take down bolas
Most likely he's an Elder Dragon from a group based on the wedges (Nicol Bolas' group was shards' colours). I'm guessing he's WUR.
Would make sense if he is these colors considering, Ghostfire " the eye of Ugin" and the whole Jeskia eye of the dragon parallel thing going on and simply replacing the B with W
There is most likely some relationship between the 2 dragons else Wizards wouldn't have made them so similar in look.

I think Ugin is going to end up being the second Colorless Planeswalker. Just look at every card that references him so far: Ghostfire, Eye of Ugin, Perilous Vault, Ugin's Nexus, Ghostfire Blade. Remember, only the first set is wedge-based, the other two won't be.
I think the reason that Bolas & Ugin have a similar shape and design is to underline the idea that they are equals.
If Ugin showed up as some fat Smaug-like dragon people might assume that he was either more powerful or less smart than Bolas.
If the designs are mirrored it shows that they are equals/ opposites.
chandra and liliana look the EXACT SAME why would wotc make them both female 5'6 and white. I just cant tell them apart. There is absolutely no difference between the two!
The dragons both look like dragons, but its kind of embarrassing if you mix the two up.

wow, different angle of horns and different wings=they don't look alike. totally

i think it's more like "anytime a snake-like, skinny, standing dragon with big curved horns and little jaws pops up, people keep seeing Nicol Bolas". and they are right, because Bolas has a very distinctive look (and it isn't only about his horns' angle) and Ugin is kinda too similar. There are many dragon designs, why recycling bolas one?
I think that the feathered wings are quite substantial difference...
Also, I think that the similarity in design between Bolas and Ugin is purely intentional, though we do not know why (so far).

Oh I see.. I always thought that it was Nicol Bolas in the background.. I hope we get a Planeswalker card for him..
The prevailing theory is that because of his affinity to Ghostfire, he will be a colorless creature/ planeswalker.
Ugin could be the Tarkir version of an Elder Dragon. The Elder Dragons we know, Bolas and his siblings, were from Dominia.
btw, this is the first image that shows up when you Google "Bolas and Ugin"
