The more important question: what's up with that smoky, deep pink, partially obscured Apple?
With the black background and the organic-looking swirls of color, it's likely a reference to the OLED touch bar. Or Apple is going to perform some type of seance at the event and have Steve Jobs make the presentation from "the other side".

The Apple isn't deep pink or smoky. The pink (and orange and yellow), look more like powder (as others have mentioned). Actually, the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture was the Mythbusters' "Painting with Explosives" episode.

It's Halloween! Fog and smoke! And Pink because October is month of Breast Cancer awareness. Just my thoughts.
The accompanying images are always directly or indirectly related to announcements. This one's tricky because of smoke but I'm guessing iCloud related product. And by "hello again", it says to me that it's a new hardware product, not just another new laptop or desktop. The only thing that comes to mind is Apple's Echo/Siri/Home device because it relies on the cloud and is a new category of product for Apple.
This makes a lot of sense. The primary product featured will be a Siri based-device along the lines of Amazon's Echo. MBP updates will be a secondary announcement. If the rumors hold true for the MBP updates, I never really thought there was enough there for justify a media event. A new product category would be that justification.
The show will open with the Siri device introducing itself, just like the original Mac did.
Hate to admit it but if I hear Siri open the event with a "Hello again" I might just get douche chills.
Finally, the MacBook Pro is also believed to sport reversible USB-C ports, ditching legacy input methods like USB-A, HDMI, and the SD Card reader ...
I hope they keep the SD card reader. I find it very handy while on a photoshoot. I really don't like dongles very much, especially on a portable device.
I think that would be a stupid decision to ditch the SD card reader.
Do you have a feasible way to wirelessly move that data over? If you do, they will probably ditch the SD slot. Apple is all about wireless.

I think the color looks like it's exploded and is coming down to cover the Apple logo. It could mean a return to colors for all the machines. We already have silver, gold, space gray, and rose gold on the MacBook so maybe they are going to expand the colors across the entire line; Air, Pro and iMac all get colors...
You get a color! And You get a color! And You get a color!
Can anybody comment on how easily the MacBooks get scuffed or if at all?

So Apple isn't going up in smoke ... It's just exploding into powder?
Yeah, yeah, we get your image chops and your sarcasm.
The question was, do you have a take on what it means (if anything)?
Yes. In my opinion, it refers to the new Retina Mac Book Pros (and other refreshed Macs) getting wide color gamut support to be in line with the iPhone 7/7 Plus' display capabilities. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us.
