So I'm confused.

Both are fullsize and signed.

Is there any reason why the lower numbered one doesn't have a Bioware logo?

Could be that one is a counterfit. I really don't know though.

All of my lithos even the minis have the Bioware logo on them. It might be counterfeit.

It is weird, it would seem strange that counterfeiters would not replicate the logo after replicating the rest of it exactly. Perhaps just two batches/print runs?

I wouldn't immediately assume counterfeit, but it's strange no less.

Great. Now I'm worried.

(Haven't checked my own lithos to see if they have the logo or not, but still worried)

Never noticed this before buy my Ninuteman, Omega and Illium lithos don't have the BioWare logo on them. My Citadel litho does have the logo though.

Also my lithos from Dragon Age don't have the logos either. They are Pride Demon, Price of Power and Arch Demon.

All were all purchased from the BioWare store on the day they were released.

I think there may have been two print runs. Long-time collectors may recall that in March 2010 Bioware "discovered" 187 Citadel lithographs at the Edmonton headquarters. These were subsequently put up for sale and sold out within a few hours.

Was the lower-numbered Citadel originally shipped rolled in a tube? If so, it was probably part of the original release. Whereas the other one may have been part of the "discovered" batch.

Do the signatures match? Does the paper feel the same?

Well, maybe the artist got tired?

Here's a comparison from a recent Ebay listing -

I think you're correct, and Kinnunen just got more tired and consequently sloppy as he signed. As another poster mentioned, I don't have the Bioware logo in the center on a couple of my lithographs like Minuteman. I highly doubt that yours is a fake.

Would be nice if someone could confirm if there all meant to have a logo or just a few.

My TIM is missing like 1 inch off of size so it's kinda smaller, dunno what happened to it lol

I'm comparing the two pictures and by the looks of it, the signature seems the same. It does have some differences (loops that aren't there on the previous signature), but I wouldn't suggest that's anything bad, as he was signing hundreds of them and it's impossible to make every signature look the same.

Yours is legit, don't worry. I don't think I've ever heard of bootlegged ME lithographs going around. There might have been, but as long as it matches the same feel, then I would not be worried. Plus, babychewie said some of his don't have it either.

When I get back to my apartment with the lithos I'll check to see if all my lithos have the bioware logo, I've only gotten mine from the Bioware Store.

The problem with comparing signatures is that they're easy to fake. This is especially true of print runs in the hundreds (and higher) because, as someone mentioned before, the artist gets tired. In the end, if the signature looks somewhat like the first, it's good enough.
