People asked Blizzard about the desktop icon of Diablo3.

You know that a good game desktop icon is the first way to get people to play that game ?

Blizzard knows this, the above is a temporary icon for DiabloIII but it will change.

Here is what Bashiok said:

Haha, well the icon right now is literally the Diablo-skull-sans-soulstone from this piece of art - http://www.blizzard.com/shared/blizz-com/images/diablo2/wallpapers/d2deathlogo/d2deathlogo-640x.jpg but I can almost guarantee it will change.
Some fun trivia about that piece though: That piece of artwork was originally created as a logo mock-up, a very long time ago, for Diablo III. The middle numeral was taken out and it was re-purposed as a piece for post-release Diablo II.

The update tomorrow is pretty cool, it’s something you haven’t seen before.

Great things are waiting for us, i simply can’t wait to see what it is. A new Character ? A new skill/spell ? A new gameplay effect ? More lore ? What can it be?

I love the desktop logo though.. nice and simpe in a Diablo kind of way

I will post everything i find on this D3 fan blog
