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

[Prof.]

The next OS X and iOS will be very minimalistic

You know that a Sea Lion isn't actually a cat, right?

I'm aware lol..

Wave Banner

This must mean we are gonna get OSX "Sea Lion"

I know! Considering that a huge number of English words are from Germanic languages, French, Norse, Spanish and Latin one would think that Americans would be less ignorant. Sadly such is not the case.

Maybe that is the reason. We are exposed to such a variety of spellings and pronunciation rules it is hard to know which one to apply at any given time. On top of that you have cases where the local population has standardized on some pronunciation different from the original and that pronunciation has changed over time.

They're actually in the same suborder as dogs.

Ark! Ark! is just a bark without the "b."

Greek gods? OS X Poseidon?

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.

Ever heard of something called a double entendre? The sign has a dual meaning. Guess what those are?

 

[irDigital0l]

You know people have nothing to do until WWDC when half of the posts on this is about what its going to be named...

OS X Sea Lion

OS X Wave

...

how about OS X It Doesn't Matter

 

[AZREOSpecialist]

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.

First we started with an X. . . Then we made it 25% thinner.

Really, all this adulation of Ive is getting creepy...

It refers to "OS X" on the one hand and cancelling out the wave of Androidism on the other hand.

Obviously.

Think of it as the backlash in the making...

It's gonna get ugly, soon.

 

[The Economist]

Hmm, everything might look better with an X.

 

[nfl46]

People can say what they want about Apple, but they make some beautiful things! I love that banner!

This comment is why we need not only down-voting, but quite possibly a 'vote to ban' option.

Any Helvetica looks hideous and old fashioned to me. I can only hope they didn't select this for the System Font!! I want a font with a slashed Zero and I want something modern, techy clean, and small.
LET the USER CHOOSE THE FONT FFS!!!
I've had to go to the effort to mod my own system font.

Looks like this, in small form.

tim: "our customers.. just *hand protrudes everywhere* love.. our banners. we believe.. our banners.. are one of the *protrudes. again* best.. in the industry."

[sshambles]

Too many pages of comments to wade through. Has anyone else guessed radio waves?

You have it I think. Logical.

 

[mdriftmeyer]

It seems like Jony Ive well and truly took the 'software' part of his new job role and ran!

Jony doesn't touch software. He's touching the interface designs that interact with the software UI.

 

[damir00]

Absolutely. Because "radio" is the very first thing that pops into my mind when I see a giant wall of water.

 

[devilcm3]

thats right ...
