Apple is beginning to decorate the inside of the Moscone Center ahead of WWDC, adding banners for OS X 10.10 and iOS 8. A photo of the iOS 8 banner has been supplied by BusinessInsider's Jay Yarow, depicting a simple "8" on what appears to be a watery background.

Apple's iOS 8 is expected to retain the same general look as iOS 7, offering polish along with several new features including a health-aggregating "Healthbook" app, new TextEdit and Preview apps, and possible improvements to both Siri and Maps.

We will get our first glimpse of iOS 8 on Monday during Apple's WWDC keynote, which kicks off at 10 AM Pacific Time. Apple will be live streaming the event and MacRumors will also provide a live blog, live tweets via the MacRumorsLive Twitter account, and a spoiler free page for those who want to watch the full keynote at a later time.

Update 11:38 AM PT: MacStories has provided another image of the banner, which can be seen below:

Now covering? Wow, that seems odd for Apple! That water sort of reminds me of Mavericks!

The fact that I am excited about a banner with the number 8 on it is clear proof that I am an  fanboy ! A proud one none the less :)

Hope we don't get a hundred sycophant threads about how great the typography is, as we did on 7.

Hopefully they will get rid of the awful Safari icon and choose a decent looking one. About the rest, I really wouldn't know what to ask for, but a better functioning Siri and public transportation in Maps.

Really can't wait to see the OSX one...should give us a hint at the name. Last year it was the mavericks wave, but no one knew that.

Okay so where is the guy in the forums from yesterday who said iOS 8 was only a rumor at this point and therefore the iOS 8 sub-forum shouldn't be created yet?

I bet all the workers received years of training to contain their excitement properly. I'd be a bit more like:
