I don't expect any iProducts at WWDC but it wouldn't shock me if we got a new MacPro or laptop refreshes. Not sure if Apple can do a full keynote with no new hardware, unless iOS and OS X are big updates that will steal the show. One couldc argue last year the rMBP stole the show at WWDC.
Interesting. Just a note that roman numerals are normally used when describing the year a movie or television show was produced.
The font looks like Apple Gothic used on the iPhone 5 packaging.
I changed the system font to it when I was jailbroken using Springtomize and it looked superb.

I believe the typeface on the iPhone 5 box is Myriad Pro Light. The typeface on the WWDC poster is Helvetica Neue UltraLight.
Over $1500 for a ticket? Do they give out freebies like google to make it worthy to buy? If not, what's the point?
From the Logo, I'd say that we can expect:
- Live Tiles (Active icons with information)
- Themeing support (stealing from the JB community, again) in iOS7.
- Flatlook icons that waggle (slowly) when they have a notification.
- Multilple Tile sizes support.
- More than 10 pages of icons.
I really like the logo 
I wish it wasn't so incredibly expensive though Glad the videos are there but it would have been fun to go to combine it with a holiday and go there, watch the keynote in real life for once, etc.. But for a free app
dev it's simply not doable.
Apple has already cut the prices of their dev programs (used to be $500/year!), free videos etc so I was hoping they'd cut the price of actual attendance as well. But I guess they don't have to if it sells out in 2 hours. Good that there's still so much interest though at a time when tradeshows and conferences are becoming extinct.
I hope they don't go for the 'square blocks and prime colours' design language though with the new OS'es, like Windows Mobile and Android have, it's so boring... I'd be glad to see the end of the fake leather but I like the plasticyness of the OS.

WWDC 2013 Logo
As per usual WWDC is announced and our expectation knob is turned up to 11!
But never have I seen so much chat about the logo itself. It caught my eye for the simple fact that the Apple isn't there.
A new design philosophy? Cleaner, more simple, bold new colours/direction?
Could be...could be not.
It just goes to show that we've all been so starved of any real product excitement for quite a while now.
And so, my customary reminder... We all want the guys in Cupertino to blow us away with wonderful stuff. To raise the bar till it's once again five years ahead of the competition. Some will get what they desire, others will be disappointed. It's the same every year.
No other brand in the tech world inspires such emotion, devotion, love, loathing, envy and hatred.
For making us feel connected to it and to the community around it that's Apple's ultimate power. I'm just glad I'm along for the ride!

Ugh....I assume you're not a developer. Its supposed to be a DEVELOPER CONFERENCE. And seeing how it sells out in hours, I'm guessing there's a lot of DEVELOPERS who see a point in going to an Apple DEVELOPER CONFERENCE. Developers from all over the world come to WWDC.
In case you couldn't tell, what I'm trying to say is that its a DEVELOPER CONFERENCE intended for DEVELOPERS who want the hands-on labs, interacting with Apple engineers and other devs in the communities, and all the other activities that happen at WWDC. A lot of stuff goes on at WWDC, its a week long event.
WWDC in the year 2600 will be even cooler in design.
If I did this correctly:
WWDC
MMDC
Just a straight flip.
