What is the meaning of the new sigil in Game of Thrones Season 8 intro?
Game of Thrones season 8 started and it comes with a new intro, where we see the wall, Winterfell, and kings landing only. And they made some difference in the sigil.
It looks like a lion is eating a fish, next a wolf is hanging dead, and then a man is holding the head of a lion(I am not sure). What is the real meaning of these?

This is a depiction of the
Red Wedding, when Lannister and Bolton houses attack Stark and Tully houses
looks like a lion is eating a fish
Lion is the Lannister's emblem, while the trout is the emblem of the Tullys.
next a wolf is hanging dead
Wolf is the Stark's emblem
and then a man is holding the head of a lion (I am not sure).
It's another wolf, still representing the Starks. The man is the red flayed man, emblem of the Boltons.
Finally, the castle represents
the twins, the castle of House Frey, where the Red Wedding happened.
Any idea why this would only just now make it into the intro sigil, even though it's been just over 4 seasons since these events? The intro has already steadily evolved over time as is; this seems really late in the game to add such a thing.

@drmuelr Maybe history is about to repeat in some way, but maybe it's also just to show a summery of 'the whole series', as opposed to watching a slow evolution?

Kepotx answered it pretty well but I got my hand on polygon analysis which is pretty detailed too:
The opening sequence was designed as a subtle history lesson. A brief
reminder of some of the most important historical events that preceded
the events of Game of Thrones.
The images engraved into season 8’s title sequence offers a more
recent history — or, if your theory brain is wired for clues, a
glimpse of the future.
The first thing we see in the new sequence is an image that appears to
be Viserion burning a hole through the Wall, with the Night King on
his back.
In front of the wall, the Night King’s dead soldiers wait to enter the
rest of Westeros, on the other side, crows flee south. It’s an
effective reminder of just how high the stakes are this season and the
unforgettable end to season 7.
This second carving seems to be a depiction of the Red Wedding.
In the same house sigil-based characterizations from the old opening, we see a flayed man — representing house Bolton — holding up
the head of a wolf, Robb Stark, to an appraising, but pleased lion,
meant to represent Tywin Lannister who orchestrated the plot. Between
them stands the Twins, the castle of the Frey’s where the Red Wedding
happened. A Direwolf hangs from the arch between it’s two high towers.
There is a third image too but that one polygon used to speculate future events so not incorporating.
you mismatched the images, the first one you show is the rebirth of Daenerys instead of the fall of the wall
