February 1st Apple Invite?

Dunno if anyone else has seen this but an image has appeared of Flickr of what seems to be an Apple event invite. The weird thing is that it doesn't use the standard Apple font I don't think (although I suppose they could always change) but it seems to be legit since someone who works for a finacial mag has confirmed that they also received one and has posted a full screenshot of it (none of these blurry mobile phone camera images). Could this be when they announce the new iLife and iWork and a beatles deal - it seems to fit the rumours.

I sure hope this is true - i'm excited already! :)

Anyway the links to the pics are:

dont see much...

eh, the font doesn't seem right.... i'll leave it to Photoshop masters ;)

Sorry for forgetting to put the links in first time everyone. I have added them now. What do people think. Is it legit???

Apple uses myriad not gill sans...

This thing looks pretty good to me - if it is a fake it's a good one. I noticed that the font is different (as did the guy/gal who posted this) but in some ways I think this makes it more likely to be true. The think is that if someone was trying to make a fake they obviously wouldn't use a different font (particularly when there's obviously been quite a lot of attention to detail in it elsewhere) so m guess is that for whatever name Apple has decided to use a different font. It just seems to fit the rumors to have an event now.

Forget about the font and messed up :apple: (I've been waiting to use that), the fact that there are reports for an event on the 20th and 1st make it fake (no way Apple would have two so close).

A little Time Machine-ish.


Google'd the quote, and one link led to this. Happens to be an excerpt from the song 'Days of long ago' by Auld Lang Syne.

Thoughts?

I really don't think it is real...I might eat those words on feb 1st though...

Auld Lang Syne isn't a band – it's the title of the song, which translates roughly as 'days of long ago'. It's actually a poem written by Robert Burns – thought to be inspired by older folk songs – and is traditionally sung at midnight on New Years Day over on this side of the Atlantic.

As for the invite... looking at the link my first instinct is to say fake. As others have pointed out, the font is wrong and certain features of the design seem very unAppleish to me. But hey, I might be wrong – we'll see in about a week's time.
