Wave-Themed OS X Banner Goes Up at Moscone West for WWDC 2013

[MacRumors]

9to5Mac has posted a new photograph showing a wave-themed banner with an X in the middle, similar to the iOS 7 banner that was revealed earlier today. The spartan and minimalistic banners are significant change from the style used in previous years, particularly the OS X banner below.

The X appears to use the Helvetica Neue Ultra Light font, an extremely thin variant of Helvetica and the same font as the iOS 7 banner.

As a designer (and forgetting this is going up at an Apple conference): that is beautiful.

I wonder what the thin font mean.

Now THIS is getting me excited. 😎

My God, Apple is so unoriginal now. Not only does it stench of Microsoft, the X makes the picture look like it was meant to be crossed out.

I thought 'lightsabers' when I saw this 😱

 

[Risco]

You sure it is not Logic Pro X?

 

[Some guy]

OS X Catfish?

My gut is telling me Clark Little took that photo. Love the look.

OS X Liquid
OS X Fluid
OS X Splash?

Those are my guesses.

I guess they finally ran out of cats.

My God, Apple is so unoriginal now.

I agree.....they should be coming up with their own letters and numbers instead of copying the current english alphabet and alpha-numeric characters.

How unoriginal!

🙄

Aqua is coming to iOS7!!!


It will be awesome!

Please be the system font.

My guess is that's going to be the default wallpaper for OSX.. Same with the iOS 7 banner's background..

OSX Sea Lion

Looks like we're definitely getting an OSX 10.9 preview.

Looks like white gaffer's tape. Maybe they're just marking it DNI.

 

[McFreggle]

WOOHOO! Finally some REALLY exciting news!!

Overhaul for X! Overhaul for X!

'7' and 'X'. Cool. 😀

 

[elvetio]

Damn, beat me to it!

 

[KylePowers]

At first I thought it was just white tape to mark the center, heh

 

[DARCmattr]

Everybody's worried about iOS, but I'm really excited about what OS X has in store for us this time.

Wow, everything from desktops to laptops at Apple seem to be on a diet.
