Unlike everyone who ignores all the facts that we are presented, and staying with one single idea dispite evidence against it, i for one have been monitering all of the teasers and information and have come to a final conclusion:
I feel the face will not be diablo, lich king, or protoss, but will be the face of the "next" evil, and most likely a diablo character, much like baal was the boxart for LOD.
why?
evidence we know:
1.the numbers in the hidden images are the "LOST" numbers, but also relate to that equation tells us when man will extinguish themselves, which is known as "Doomsday"
Doomsday = Armageddon
Armageddon = Hell on earth
Hell on earth = Worldstone was destroyed allowing demons to come across easily. Diablo could come back to earth, thus hell on earth
2. The eyes do not match the lich kings helmet as it is known now, they would have to redesign the brow of the helmet for it to match, as it doenst come to a point like the teaser pic does, obvious sign of not matching
3. "Icy" "Cold" "Tundra" "Cavern" can all be considered areas in Diablo2, yet only 1-2 can be related to WOW, and none to SC as far as i know.
4. Keep in mind, even with all this, Diablo is the final franchise to be in need of an update
5. much like SC last year, D2 recieved a patch not even 2 weeks ago (VERY close to WWI)
6. the biggest hint: Diablo2's release date being june 29th. That right there is the solidifier.
but with that, comes the other half. How do we explain the blue ice tha tlooks like the lich king ice? what about the symbols too? and the purple pinguin???
in my opinion, the ice isnt related to the game, but a sort of metaphor representing Blizzard themselves. last WWI we had a timeline showing the past games, this year we have ice/mountain/crystal that is an ice blue with symbols showing up daily, each representing a different game (WC, SC, D2, Unknown, and Lost vikings possibly) that blizzard created.
Blizzard is known to have logos that are cold, icy, etc etc, the name itself is BLIZZARD, thats why i think it makes since for the ice to represent blizzard and not the game.
With that, the new game is slowly being unviled just as last year. im not using rocket science to get my theories as you can see, just comon thinking.
Purple Pinguin theory: I dont think it relates to the game in any way directly, but instead the artist that made it, IMO it will be made by an artist that is the lead designer or something for the next game (whatever it may be), speaking of which, why has no one tried finding out who the artist is?
So why do i think its going to be diablo related face in the ice?
simple logic really. there are 3 franchies, SC, WC, and Diablo.
-SC: you fight protoss, zerg, and human (Granted, zerg could match with my theory)
-WC: for the most part, the enemies are humanish in nature, ie the facial features are pretty much human feeling, elfs, gnomes, even goblins and undead. for it to be a final baddy, it would almost certainly be a humanish creature.
-Diablo: The demons in diablo nearly all have a "Beasty" design, not looking very human. Diablo looks like an animal, Mephisto is well, obviously not humanish in-game, same for baal, they all have very distinct facial features
with that described, the face in the teaser looks to be VERY wide, his brow is going to come out well past the eyes, and the only creatures i can think of that would match that type of profile would have to be one of two things:
-most likely a demon in the diablo universe
-COULD possibly be a zerg creature, though i doubt it
theres my 2 cents. for all the newbies here: Note how i put thought into my typings, and didnt decide to link to some retarded obviously photoshoped picture that has been posted a million times.
About no one having attempted to find the artist who illustrated the evil penguin... I spent several hours after the signature was revealed looking through blizzard concept art, fan art, desktop wallpapers, google images, deviantart, and also attempted to find the names of artists who work for blizzard/on the Diablo projects to seek out their portfolios to attempt to find a similar signature. I didn't find anything.

Somebody did, I think he was an Artist in Diablo 2.
Why ice?
How just about "Hell has Frozen over" it's depicted in many many ways before, so it's Strongly possible

Blizzard, please put back the single player offline mode!
Yes Dragonskull, we need to track down the artist. As I posted elsewhere, there's a similarity in style between the WWI promo artwork and the evil penguin.
Minutes away from the next reveal pic anyway...

So we've got over the problem of colour in D3. Great. Now let's argue about everything else not yet set in stone and help make this game simply great! Game on.

its also possible the ice has to do with (as many said already) how act5 was the end of d2 and obviously, icy.
1 minute people!!!!!
