New Civ 7 logo found via Steam

The Obelisk of Axum is an intriguing thought I hadn't considered before. I can't find any depictions of it that show it in the context of a low structure like we see in the logo. It certainly doesn't discount it though. Previously, I was leaning towards a misproportioned depiction of either the Temple of Karnak or Luxor, which feature prominant obelisks.

A Kremlin came up in my discussion group, and it bears certain features that give it credence. It certainly seems like a sort of embellished administrative fortification. I was personally leaning more towards a South Asian style, though, like the Red Fort. Although it admittedly doesn't precisely have the same combination of features that you see in the Red Fort.
Although Obelisk of Axum wasn't the exact one we got; the "Great Stele" was one of the three Royal Obelisks; so I like to think I still got it right~
