The Dragon Age forum theme is the premiere of the new (and apparently final) DA logo. Here's Chris Priestly commenting in a thread:
The logo you now see at the top of this page (if you don't, try hitting the F5 key to refresh) is the final logo for the game. The previous logo was a stand in until we finalized things. You will see the old logo disappear from where it is now and the new logo be put in its place as the web team catches up.

And yes, the box art you had seen previously is also not final. I have seen the final box art and it is frankly quite stunning. Definitely not what I think a lot of people are expecting, but very striking and eye catching. I'm not sure when we'll be revealing the box art yet, but it is going to make a big impact when it appears. Stay tuned.

Goodness, that looks quite dark. Not to mention gritty.

Reminds me a zombie game but I still like it better than the previous.

That didnt take a heck of alot of imagination. Personally I like the old logo better. If you are going to use blood splatter though - there better be blood in the game. Every clip I see looks increasingly sanitized.

Imo the old logo looked exactly like the Drakensang logo. In fact, so much so that for a while I thought they were the same game and that Drakensang was Dragon Age in another language.

Kind of generic but I suppose logos tend to be that way. Maybe they're trying to avoid the fantasy cliches of swords and flaming skulls and things.

To me the old one seemed reminiscent of some of the pleasant medieval eccentricities in the Baldur's Gate games while this one seems more austere and gives the impression that the dragon age is a dangerous one fit for dangerous people.

I like it.

My first impression was: EA felt the original logo was too "tame" and wanted to move more copies with a brutal-looking logo that featured more blood splatter and cold steel. Perhaps that is just my kneejerk reaction, but well... I can think of few game companies I dislike or distrust more than EA, so there it is. Old logo was fine.

I thought the old one was kinda generic Dragonlance-D&D-swords-n-sorcery thing; this is somewhat fresher when applied to a fantasy cRPG anyway. I was just poking fun at their PR -- Dark! Gritty! seems to be so much the party line.

I'm quite looking forward to to some good clean Dark! Gritty! BioWare fun on this one. If there's a clingy elf girlfriend romance culminating with a <smooch> "I luv you but we have to save the world now so our relationship has to wait" thing, though, I hope at least that there's an option to sell her into slavery afterward or something. Just to make it properly Dark!, not to mention Gritty!, you know.

Have a look at the new trailer. Pretty sure it will satisfy your blood splatter needs.

New logo sucks like a jet engine on 'roids and looks like a straight L4D rip-off with the blood splatters. But who cares as long as the game is good, right?

Hey! What about the logo I got on my Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne? I demand they come and replace it? In fact I going to hold my breath until they do...

The one at the end of the manly, sex & blood trailer is better, though it still reads a bit like Eragon Age.

Oh, what a Jest ! And for Drakensang they just changed the international logo, because it was so much looking like the one of Dragon Age !

See?! That's exactly what I was saying earlier. Both logos looked the same.

@txa1265 : This is nothing new. The trend was developing throughout the last years.
