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

What's the difference? Honest question

Comparing it to music, a typeface is a song, a font is the audio file. You wouldn't say "that's a great mp3," you'd say "that's a great song."

Yes but if that were the case it would make more sense to make that the FIRST version of OS 11, not the LAST of OS X. Like I said, I think an extinct cat would be fitting for the last version of OS X.

By using the "mix" at the end instead of the beginning, you assure a fresh start without back references, while the last one points to the future.

Sea Lions are not cats.

Personally, I think they should end the OS X series with an extinct cat, such as Sabertooth. Or they could go with the Caspian Tiger, which is extinct but who's name is also a sea. Would make a nicer transition to Ocean names for OS 11 than Sea Lion!

OS X Sabertooth.. That's something Scott Forstall would like.

I really love this thin font trend (don't care who started it). They look so nice on screen

They look fantastic on the retina display - love seeing Google stuff on it as the font is just so sexy!

I don't see waves.. i see a forest of trees below low sitting clouds.

Aqua?

Apple uses a GUI called Aqua for their design. could the wave possibly have something to do with that??? I found the wiki page about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_(user_interface)

With this new design, the beachball finally makes sense...

Extinct animals = sadness. Bad for marketing. Only exception might be the dodo

My prediction for WWDC:

I will get absolutely NO work done!

Seriously my boss is away on business and I'm about to leave for vacation. Should I even bother coming into work on Monday

On topic: I really love this thin font trend (don't care who started it). They look so nice on screen

That's one of the advantages of being in the UK, it starts at 6pm our time so work doesn't get in the way

Think I figured it out. It's not finished yet.

Looks even better honestly

I hope this means 10.9 is gonna be released. Pleas don't disappoint me Apple.

 

[iMikeT]

Look out, a hurricane is coming through!

 

[mattjackbrown]

looks like we are getting water proof iPhones and MacBooks! YES!

 

[Mac21ND]

I love it! This is gonna be a fun thread

10.9 Jaws

 

[Larry-K]

Please be the system font.

For some other system.

It will be. We're on yearly release cycles. IIRC Mountain Lion was announced at WWDC and was on the App Store a couple of hours later.

I dunno. If Apple called 10.9 something like Saber Toothed Tiger, we'd all think it was pretty bad 'n rad. The only thing that'd be disappointing about it is if it didn't live up to its namesake.

First we changed the music industry.
Then we changed the publishing industry.
Now we're about to change the adult-entertainment industry.

(Hey, there's a lot of money to be made there.)

The older I get, the more I appreciate things getting in the way of work.

There's only one cat to end the series...

With no beta testing? Hmmm...

But Mountain Lion was announced in February 2012.

You must be new here. This is tradition!

Relatively new... but the long wait for Apple's new products has sort of made me impatient!
