A Picture's Signifigance

http://vgtribune.com/zenimax-media-buys-id-software-bethesda-becomes-its-publisher/

I came up with this picture during a google search of "Bethesda" it highlights ZeniMax buying out ID but thats not what caught my eye.
The picture they use puts bethesda trademark on a sort "cloth" background with a TES letters.
My question is if anyone else has seen this on any other Bethesda games or if it might be coming from a future game?

It's the bottom border of the Oblivion box/manual.

EDIT: For the sake of completeness, it translates as "The waters of Oblivion [indeterminate]."
EDIT2: After consulting my manual, as best I can make out (that print's tiny) it continually repeats this phrase cyclically: "Forever reborn in Blood and Fire from the Waters of Oblivion for Lord Dagon" There is no determinate beginning or end to the phrase; it could begin or end wherever you choose it to.

And "The waters of Oblivion" is apperently a book in Oblivion(thegame) evidence that the picture maybe just reused material.

Depends how new the article is. Not entirely sure what the pic means (if it means anything), but I wouldnt think about it too much, probably nothing.

perhaps its a hidden meaning underlying the truth of the buyout of Bethesda, with the programmers sending encrypted secret messages to others fluent in daedric..... or maybe its nothing lmao

Hey all,

It's a screenshot of the logo on the box art for Oblivion ( http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/1041/full-res/1122479510.jpg ). It looks a bit different, but I think that's just attributed to some photoshopping fromt he image's originator. The only meaning to the pictures is that it features Bethesda's logo with a cool background. How can I be so sure? I wrote the post on VG Tribune, lol.

Sorry if I'm bursting any bubbles of hope for new Bethesda games . . .

However, Bethesda . . . I haven't forgotten about the next Elder Scrolls game. You did say it could be coming out in 2010. http://vgtribune.com/bethesda-new-elder-scrolls-title-in-2010-potentially/

That's what it looks like to me too, in any case, it's too close to the Oblivion box art to be for a new game if that's what people were thinking. I'm sure it doesn't mean anything. I'm sure we'll some day see an Elder Scrolls V too but this isn't a sign that it's currently in the works, or that we'll be hearing about it soon.
