The reason the head on a stick was retconned was because of an incident in Japan close to AO's release there. Some kid at a school decapitated a fellow student and put his head on a stick/fence. Originally the design was only changed in the Japanese version of AO, but later it was applied to all versions of all Oddworld games.

I think the original head on a stick design was meant to shock the player, and drive home the connection between Abe's appearance and the graphic. That effect is basically absent from the newer design. |
Lanning also didn't like it.
