Looks like it could be going back to its 'gangsta' roots judging by the graffiti!
Here is what I was able to gather from this limited amount of information:
1) The skull reminds me of "The Day of the Dead" from Mexican culture. It seems to me like it might be a gang similar to Los Carnales.
2) The top of the skull has iconography that looks very similar to The Brotherhood. The Brotherhood and Los Carnales had close ties to one another, and you can even see a cross (Los Carnales' Symbol) within The Brotherhood's wolf symbol.
3) I am thinking that gangs within the new game might have a similar structure to The Syndicate in SR3. In other words, maybe the main gang is an equivalent to Los Carnales and the equivalent to The Brotherhood is a sub gang or "set" that falls under the umbrella of this new gang. It is possible that the Luchadores might return to some extent and fall under this umbrella as well.
4) The skull has a tear tattoo, which signifies that they have killed someone or might be seeking revenge for the murder of a loved one. This might tie into their backstory, if they have one. The tattoo has multiple meanings, but these ones stuck out to me the most.
5) The color scheme reminds me of "The Joker" from "The Batman" series, which is somewhat important because South Park made an episode about "Mexican Joker", so this would tie in perfectly. I think it would be a great reference, as well as provide some craziness to the game. Imagine a terrifying, insane, Mexican Joker as the leader of the gang.

Flippy from YouTube made a theory that due to the coloring on the wall, we might have a blend of Saints Row the Third and Saints Row 2. Also, he hypothized that the initial images (fox, Illuminati sign, and disco-jackal thing) were symbols of gangs. Of course, with the recent two new images...
I'm not sure which ones are just graffiti and which ones suggest gangs.

Chrymzon, I would love a Mexican Joker.
It’s possible.
This said, I wonder if it’s possible we’ll not see the characters we’ve come to know since Saints Row 2? As in, we won’t see Pierce, Shaundi, Kenzie, etc. If it’s a reboot, it’s possible we’ll be playing as Boss to a whole new cast of characters. This said, it’s equally possible we’ll see them again, but not in the forms we’re familiar with.
