Apple is putting up new banners promoting iOS 7 at the Moscone Center where its Worldwide Development Conference is taking place next week, as noticed by MacStories.

The company had previously confirmed that the next version of the iOS operating system would be unveiled at WWDC. The extremely simple banner features a svelte number 7 against a minimalist background.

The banner is very different stylistically from the more traditional iOS 6 banners that Apple used last year.

Some of the banners already up at the Moscone Center include the tagline 'Where a whole new world's developing'.

WWDC begins Monday with the conference opening with Apple's annual keynote presentation. The company is expected to unveil iOS 7, OS X 10.9, the iRadio streaming music service and new Mac notebook models.

Update: The 7 appears to be from Helvetica Neue Ultra Light, an extremely thin variant of Helvetica.

DAMN that's a nice font.



Also, less than 3 days before we see more than just the number 7. In fact, I'm fairly sure that's the number I've seen the most over the last few weeks...

Definitely different than anything we've seen before from the graphics dept. Usually it is the number on an app icon-style logo.

Even the typography is intriguing. Very cool.

This simplicity better not mean removing features from a already limited feature set.

Even though this is just a banner, this is a total design change from what they've done in the past like that embedded link in the article shows. I'm very excited to see the changes now.

I can see it now. "This is our thinnest and lightest seven ever."

This definitely looks like a hint toward a new visual style. Monday should be the most interesting Apple keynote of the past couple years.
