    It looks very similar to the Classic icon.

    Bringing back Vanilla servers confirmed.

    Good lord, people. He's not talking about the WoW icon itself. He's talking about what's behind it.



    I agree that it doesn't really mean much, but stop focusing so much on the icon itself.

    Maybe they're going to update that low-res icon in 5.5!

    I agree, the obvious roman numeral "II" behind the icon is much more important.

    Dark below confirmed because it's dark icon.

    The MoP one has bamboo forests in the background.
    The new one has the Maelstrom in the background.

    Did the classic icon have the Maelstrom? If yes, it's meaningless. If not, then it's obvious what's about to happen.

    The graphic designer didn't just roll some dice to put the Maelstrom there.

    Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else see like a faint blob/shadow on the left side that looks like the Eastern Kingdoms continent?

    Zoom out the page and looks just like an icon I have on my desktop.

    Yes, that looks exactly like the vanilla wow icon that has been sitting on my desktop for ~9 years.

    New expansion clearly confirmed.

    Maelstrom confirmed.

    But seriously, we already had a maelstrom expansion, it was called cataclysm. It ended up being the portal to deepholm where Deathwing broke into the world, we flew through it to get to deepholm, it was even where the final battle with deathwing took place.

    Does nobody pay attention?

    Probably just a branding move to keep their icons consistent, thus going with the basic icon. They've been doing a lot of UI/UX work with the battle.net app and looks like it was a part of that.

    Also it's a lot sharper on my HD devices like retina display apple products.
