I'm a bit slow here, I just now saw that the second editions of Intrigue and Dominion have different set icons. Dominion slightly altered; Intrigue completely different.

I'm just wondering, what's the reason for this? Is it because "Intrigue Second Edition" should be considered a different set than "Intrigue First Edition"? Or just because Donald or Rio Grande was unhappy with the original icon and wanted a new one? It seems weird for the cards that are in both editions; having multiple set icons. Though I suppose if we think of it in MTG terms, many cards have multiple versions with different icons from different sets (and often even different artwork).

Intrigue isn't COMPLETELY different - they are both masquerade mask things, if you look closely.

You also have to consider, basically every card in second edition was at least edited for formatting / font size / etc

There was no problem with the original icons; we just wanted to avoid confusion. The new cards aren't from the original editions, so they wanted a new symbol; and the cards in each set all wanted to match.

Is there any reason some of the symbols are different within the new cards?  I forget which but at least one of my added base cards has a different symbol from the others.

Two of the update pack cards have a smaller expansion symbol, accidentally. It's the same symbol, just smaller. They're correct in the set itself (Dominion).
