Yes. It was definately different. It was much bigger, and a completely different font.

That's totally different to the version I saw. What's up with that?

Han shot first!

Yes, it is different, as you can see with this one:

Ah, I wasn't sure, but now I see the other still: yes, the first image is different from what I saw in the cinema (the last image posted by agentJamesBond007 rings a bell).

but WTF?
Is this Flick photo created by someone who wanted to have fun with the location fonts and create his own versions?

I would recommend getting rid of those images quick.

Yes, indeed. Or take it out the image tags at the very least.

I prefer the font that was used in the final cut of the film. The first one just looks a little too juvenile for a Bond film; it's the kind of font I'd expect to find on the poster or DVD cover of a family-oriented comedy. DADDY DAY CARE was the first thing I thought of when I saw that font.

This makes me wonder about the other location cards. Did the other ones (La Paz, Talamone, etc.) look different for anyone else?

Sure, it was way different. It had a (IMO) bad "Western" style font in cinema.
This is even worse

EDIT: The chinese version lacked of all those fonts. They've used the chinese characters in a default white font.

That's intriguing. I wonder if the text was genuinely different in different areas of release.

I found more screen caps on the original photo page, and they all appear to be the same as what I saw in the film (except for Haiti).

Edit: Upon further examination, I've tracked the original photo down to the typography website that made the fonts for the film. I imagine in Haiti's case it is an unused first draft?

The La Paz one is different, it's embossed and has a black shadow. It was compressed in the theatrical cut.

I'm watching the DVD now. and It looks like the text is exactly the same as theatrical version.

It is.
