It's hard to say because they are such basic crystal designs (whereas the Mega Evo symbol looked a bit like DNA etc), but the only thing worth noting is that they complement each other, so it's pretty safe to say that these games are gonna be really involved in each other's plot.

I'm almost certain they will have some significance to the legendary mascots. Like you said we had the mega evolution symbols in the X and Y Japanese logos and then in ORAS they included the red/blue orbs. Hard to say at this stage what they could represent, but they seem to be reversed with the gold colored crystal being on the Moon logo whilst the blue coloured crystal being on the Sun logo?

I think these crystals, similarly to the orbs of ORAS, will be related to our main legendaries in this game. It would be obvious if the crystals counter-acted the mons, so I say they might be related with summoning those legendaries.
Ah... shards of the Dark Crystal?
In all seriousness, given that they appear in around the same spots as they did on X and Y's logos, it may be a hint at a new mechanic. Or it may hint at legendaries exclusive to both games.

I wonder if they are some type of sun/moon shard that will have an affect on the legendary mascot? :o Based on the logos from XY you would have to assume they are pretty significant!

Volcanion has yellow diamond shapes on its chest.
I'm also curious about the comet/meteor pokeball in the logo. More evidence that Sun & Moon will have a space theme?

Did you make this thread because of the image I posted in the speculation thread? :P

It could be merging with pokemon or some new super duper shard evolution that's like stone evolution but temporary or maybe something even better... or it could be a hint towards the mascots.

Maybe it's a sort or yin and yang thing. We know that in real life the moon reflects the light of the sun.

*absently hums the menu theme from Final Fantasy I*
I find it most interesting that they're the opposite colour to what one would expect - the blue crystal for Sun's logo, rather than the orange one - which makes me suspect the two games will tie into one another a little more than previous ones. I still think the games' central plot point will be an eclipse of some description, so perhaps these two crystals will work in tandem with that to...do something to the Legendary in question. Wake it up, power it up, bring it under the control of whoever wields the crystal...take your pick.

Someone in twitter said it is a fusion with the pokemon. I doubt it but it can be real.

Well, we've had Pokemon fusion in the past, with Kyurem in B2W2, so it's not entirely outside the realm of possibilities...but then, what would fuse with what, and why?
Would the two mascots come together during the eclipse for whatever reason, maybe? If they were originally one Pokemon, I guess that could make sense. Reshiram/Zekrom were supposed to be one Pokemon, and Kyurem is the corpse leftovers, so the whole fusion thing kinda made sense. But the Sun and the Moon, last I checked, were never originally one celestial body. So yeah, I'd be inclined to agree with you that it probably isn't viable either...although it'd be interesting if it was!
Pokemon... fusion? It's hard to say. If that is what the crystals are it would likely mean the evil team uses it against you, which would be incredibly interesting. We've never had fusion between a Pokemon and a human before, at least not in a main game. I don't know if Ash Greninja counts as fusion though, as that crystal isn't present and Greninja seems to be borrowing from Ash instead of fusing with him outright.

Maybe the mascots have some power from the other.
Yupp, saw it on Twitter. Wasn't entirely sold on the Pokémon fusion theory, but it's still clear that they're significant for something. Based on the way the colors complement each other, I'm more leaning toward the theory that these are physical features of the mascot legendaries, in some form or another.
