Has anyone else taken a close look at the symbol of the wardens? I did not critically notice the siginificance of the symbol until I was playing Legacy. But if you can for a moment picture the symbol in your mind's eye, you might recall that it is two gyrphons back to back. The symbol is extremely present throughout Legacy - on any warden's armor, giant shields, and even in the loading screens...
Now, if you can blur the some of the lines between the two seperate images - what do you start to see?
Is it just me that the image starts to represent is some odd way a figure that is simlar to Cory/Architect - different in that it is whole? Pure, perhaps?
Am I just reaching for a connection, or is there something to this strange coincidence?

Reaching. And I now know that symbology is a word.
Edit: As the architect hadn't reached his final design by then (when the symbol was designed). He looked like a normal darkspawn in the books for example. Well, they could have changed the design of them to fit the symbol, but it seems very far-fetched.

Here is a good example of the image (although this is from DAO).

Blurring it - I see a demon face with a fancy winged helmet. More like a dragon face coming at you...or maybe an old god??? (whatever those *really* look like) But not anything magister-like, at least not that has been seen thus far.

Here is a pic of the Architect...I know that when I played Awakening and first saw the gryphons on a loading screen, my mind went immediately to the Architect. Then again while playing Legacy and seeing the gryphons for the first time on a loading screen, my mind went to Cory...But as you might guess, eventually I figured out in both cases that it was in fact the gryphons.
After seeing some of the theories about who/what the old gods/forgotten ones/elven gods are...this percolated to the top of my mind...and I at least felt compelled to ask if anyone else had seen a connection. And as I suggest in the OP, perhaps the differences that we see in the images are the difference b/w light and dark; good and evil; pure and corrupt; whole and broken. It just seems odd to me that with two of the major story centered DLC's in both games, we find that it deals with the Wardens and Talking Darkspawn that seem to have (even if it is only) a slight connection through symbology...

Actually if you stare at it and let your eyes go out of focus, it almost looks like Flemeth in her DAII Dragon form.

Well, funny enough I wouldn't be surprised if we find out about a connection that ties Flemeth to the Wardens, Darkspawn, The Old Gods, etc...pretty much everything in the world. In fact I would not be surprised if we learn that Flemeth's true nature and thus her relationship to all things has already been discussed in game through the codex.
