I doubt its the sets symbol. The details of it being a moon would be unnoticeable at card size. it would just look like a plain circle. White as the common color would be confusing with the silver of uncommon much like the Coldsnap set symbol. Also what would be the point of hiding a moon from a set with moon in its name? It wouldn't give anything away about the set. They only hide the set symbol if they think its going to give away something about the set like OGW might have.

If that's the color, I agree that it will create confusion on what is common and uncommon. However the obvious solution of making it shaped like a crescent moon is one WOTC can't do because The Dark used the crecent moon as its set symbol.
Maybe they could solve this if they used a special ink for this one set that better distinguished between white and silver. Maybe they could use an ink with a metallic sheen for the uncommons.

I think this would work better than the Coldsnap symbol, since the symbol's interior would be wide. White, Silver, Gold and Red Moons would be cool.
Zendikar set symbols related to Eldrazi have been linked to hedrons and floating geometries. Seems fine to just have the moon since we're on Innistrad.
Also, they've been doing what they can to kinda keep it on the downlow. They've already released set icons for Kaladesh and Aether Whatever, but haven't put up the EMN symbol. I think that was found a while ago, and everyone thinks it's it, or a close facsimile.

It still can't be that. Again its not something players would notice at card size. Furthermore they aren't going to keep going out of their way to hide a set symbol that gives away something we already knew before SOI prerelease, that Avacyn gets is unmade. Hiding a 'Heronless' moon doesn't give away something we don't know, it just entrenches something we already do.
Now if it was a cracked moon that might mean something, since the moon being cracked and something any Innistradi could see that would at least give away that indeed something was lock in the moon and Avacyns existence keep it locked up.

At this point, I just want EMN to be spoiled and the villain NOT to be Emrakul. Not that I have anything against Eldrazi, just for the salty reactions. Personally, I want them to work the deceased 4th powerpuff angel back into the story.
Anyhow, whatever is going to going to be in that circle can't be too complex. Unless I missed something, Emrakul (and Eldrazi in general) don't really have any icons simple enough to fit. A depiction of the titan itself would have to be seriously deformed.
Pretty sure it's the five-legged shrew in Innistrad's moon that's been erased.
Also, were people really confused by Coldsnap's set icon? I've always found it extremely easy to tell the difference between a common and uncommon from that set.
They'e said that they're willing to experiment with how the set symbol looks. Khans of Tarkir is a good example of them doing so. I don't find it too unrealistic that this image is actually the symbol.
I mean, they've been really hush-hush about it, likely because they want to see people react to it when they see it on a card, not in a vacuum. And a small set is probably the best place to try something like this anyway.
So my money is on this being the actual set symbol. I'm really actually quite excited to see how each varient looks on a card.
Thats the thing though, its just a moon, its nothing to be like, 'wow, its a detailed moon, ahhh!!!!!!', its more like a 'its a detailed moon, thats pretty cool', why would they go out of their way to hide the set symbol when its just a freaking moon? I mean, they already told us its Eldritch Moon, so having something like a moon symbol isn't totally out of the range of possibility, so my gut is still on the 'placeholder cause if we showed it, it would spoil the mastermind(which is emrakul) behind the entirety of this chaos'
Ugin is going to get really bad once all the fatties are colourless. I sold all mine. Sell sell sell!
He's going to be absolutely rotten. Hangarback walker has already nerfed him quite significantly. I reckon he'll be $3 junk within 2 months of rotation

Is this the set symbol for eldritch moon? If yes, then it's pretty weird considering that all set symbols have been geometric.
Kudos to a guy on iplaymtg.com (A Chinese Magic forum) for finding out about the info.

Considering that the link to the set symbol of Eternal masters is http://magic.wizards.com/sites/mtg/files/images/featured/EMA_SYMBOL.png, just like the link I found, it does have some credibility.
Is this another puzzle wizards want us to solve?

I agree with this assessment.
I mean, Emrakul's basically confirmed at this point; it would be silly for WotC to keep up the charade that it's not.
How long was the OGW symbol hidden? I'm not privy to that.

I don't remember if the set symbol was spoiled first, or the unofficial leaks that revealed the set symbol.

I made a cube. It's called 'babe cube' because all the cards have babes on them. http://www.cubetutor.com/draft/58369

Don't you mean White, Silver, Gold, and Blood?

EMN symbol here:
It's Innistrad's moon. The "heron" is missing.
It still can't be that. Again its not something players would notice at card size.

Uh no
That's not the symbol
It was just to show eldritch moon set so they can put kaledesh sets in as well (there's still no set symbol yet it's just to improvise till then.)
