OK, the 8 o'clock news showed a piece covering the Zurich meeting and they showed a nice close-up of the bid logo:



The textual portion "Bidding nation(s)..." seems exactly like the one in many of the other bid logos, with the same font and all. Could this be a FIFA template?

Portugal should include one more stadium to their proposal. And I couldn't think a better final match for 'Iberia 2018' than Brazil X Argentina

Exactly. It clearly conveys the message of "two countries united around a single bid".

Wow. Where did you find that? Is it a homemade Paint version of the close-up above? I really hope so. The shapes of the dark red and yellow stripes don't look the same, and I had imagined it would have brushtrokes like texture.

Renders of the other two new stadia you include in the list:

New San Mamés - Bilbao



San José - Zaragoza

The logo has been officially presented today in Lisbon. It's been created by the same Portuguese agency that designed the Euro 2004 logo. Three Portuguese agencies and three Spanish were competing.
