On the Mystery Shack forum, a viewer from Italy wrote in to say that the series in his country has a completely blank fez until the "Bottomless Pit" episode, and then it suddenly gets the new symbol. This is in line with the images in "Dreamscaperers," where the old symbol has disappeared from Stan's memories. This suggests a copyright or other symbol problem, but there could also be plot purposes in play here.

If true, it also means that the reflection mismatch in "Boss Mabel" is going away, so I shouldn't pin too much on that. Okay, so maybe there was something wrong with the symbol in those countries, and AH changed it so it could appear in those countries, but the symbol was fine in America, so they didn;t need to change the reruns?

I still think there is some significance in-universe.
