The depiction of the world is mirrored by the opposing corner, the bottom right, where it appears a cartoon character is depicted; giving a thumbs up. I'm still not sure who this is meant to represent or if they are someone we should know. However, if we interpret this image at face value, I believe this cartoon is to suggest that this announcement will be something positive. In combination with the graphical representation world, I suggest that this announcement will have globally positive impact.
Now, if you compare the original with the following photo you'll notice something very subtle,
Did you realise?
Well, it is clear that the area which is covered by the StarCraft II logo is where a typical human nose would exist. In the above image, you'll notice that Artanis, does not have a nose.
This. Is. Huge.
I propose that in a soon to be announced update, in a series of single player missions, the protoss will discover plastic surgery and thanks to this, all protoss will receive a nose through surgery. I believe that this is a very viable path for the lore to take and that this would indeed be a hugely positive change for StarCraft II world wide.
