Questionable Screenshot of iCloud Login Page Surfaces

Questionable indeed. While the errors in the cloud icon have been correctly spotted, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the most obvious error: the font.

Sure, it's Myriad Pro, but it's Regular. But based on this photo it's clear that Apple is using a heavier weight, probably Semi-Bold:

Here's an example of Regular vs Semi-Bold:

Beta must be the key here. Apple doesn't do beta. Well minus that no way to tell if it's fake or not.

Apple doesn't do Beta? Did you just pull that out of your ass? www.iwork.com, off the top of my head.

Also, you guys proclaim everything to be a fake. This looks real enough. Fakes are generally easy to spot. Noone would go through the trouble of creating something like this.
 
There is no one who can do the design like this

Its definitely Apple's style and there is no one who can do the design like that, if can he/she would work in Apple as a designer. So stop being a Sherlock.

Yes i forgot about iWork, but i still don't think that with something that big Apple could slap a beta tag on it.
 
I think that it is quite valid. Could be a slip with SJ not there. Because it is internal anyways.

You should pick up a book on informational design. You'll see that there's many designers that are capable of designing a Name Tag.

Apple has excellent UI designers but by no means are they all under apples roof.

Apple might do a beta with MobileMe subscribers to prevent the backlash of the MobileMe conversion from .Mac.

It'd be rather smart to Beta the program for a month, see where it stands, open the Data Center piece by piece and then hit the ground running.
iWork.com still has a noticeable BETA on it, and they've not touched it in a while.

Ignorant...

Any mildly good designer can copy any style and mold it...

Hmmm... if you compare the cloud logo to the official one that's appeared on the WWDC publicity material, they don't quite seem the same. In particular, look at the angle of the join between the two 'bumps' at the top of the cloud - this one looks more acute than the WWDC one and - at least to me - a bit aesthetically wrong, which doesn't sit right for Apple. That said, the WWDC shots are at an angle so the difference could just be an illusion.

There is nowhere else but MacRumors where I can spend my Sunday morning drinking coffee and reading a serious detailed analysis of the differences in angles of the bumps between a spy shot photo versus a supposed screen shot of an icon of a cloud.

And somehow be interested enough to reply. :D

Pretty cool looking if you ask me.

The exact same logo as the "fake" iCloud home page, but where the logo is totally filles like on the iDisk icon :

icloudpng.png


It's the exact same thing.

The picture is probably not fake anyway, it is very well done and the "name tag" thing would be too random for it not to be from Apple.

We'll see tomorrow.

*Edit* I just read the last posts about it being fake. Ok, I was wrong. But still it was not because the logo was wrong!
