mainframe picture change? - not what you think.
It's a clock. It reads 09:04:26 approximately (large hole->minute hand, medium hole->hour hand, small hole->second hand)
So, the first heist starts at 09:04.26. PST or UTC ?

Perfect! The only things missing are the three circles that are also very clear lined, like the spiral, and are quite possible going to be part of the final image, also we do not know the final colour of the image.

In a completely new direction, maybe thats the new avatar of "the source"!

If you're going to read it as a clock, the smallest hand is always the hour hand and the largest the second hand. So it really reads about 5:46:05.

Most clock's I've seen, the shortest & fattest hand is the hour, and the longest and skinniest is the second. Because we're dealing w/this spiral, the closest in proximity to center is obviously going to be the smallest, so we're left to reason that the largest marker refers to the largest unit, aka, hours. Looks like about 1:47 or so.

Two moons?! The heists don't really run a couple of months, do they?
I hope not, this first wait has been brutal.

I think the three dots on the white line is the missions and the big green line would be the bundle. It sort of makes sense, but I'm just making a guess.
Usually, a correct solution ends up with something helpful. What does your guess actually tell us? That it's representative art?
You need to be thinking in line with the story and what we already know.

There many new people here, so for our sake, is there any way to catch up on the story-line(if any) of the previous heists?

From the heists. Watch the briefing video. But basically, somebody is trying to tell us something - they're not creating cute little artistic representations without direction.

I rather expected that the countdown would get more specific now that we're inside a day. You know, hours, minutes and seconds.
It does if you concur with Whitefang's theory that it's a clock.
9:07:26
or
1:45:26
or
5:06:45 (counterclockwise)

Ok, I'm reminded of the cliche line on inspector gadget (which was stolen from Mission Impossible (old school before Tom Cruise)).
"This message will self destruct in :30 seconds."
But in this case it would be "This message will self destruct in 09:04:26"

It was Thursday, and everyone knows the last few days of the week seem to drag on. Now that it is friday it should zip forward and get busy around 3pm in time for the weekend rush.
