Here's the Iron Man poster they showed at the SDCC Marvel Movie panel:
And a summary of the panel, along with some relevant quotes:

Granov is doing design work for the film, and the image shown, Favreau said, is not the final armor design.
There's one tech-based suit," Favreau said, explaining that Iron Man himself will be the major effect, rather than a world of special effects. The director said that the feel will be Tom Clancy, "But because it involves Tony Stark, there will be some James Bond in there."
Favreau said that he's looking at the anime Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, and Neon Genesis Evangellion for inspirations, but still trying to ground the film in the real world and real technology, "So the only buy you have to make is a guy in an Iron Man suit."
Also asked, if his Tony Stark will deal with his alcoholism, Favreau said that he's looking at Iron Man as a group of films, so he'll have time to explore how his weapons manufacturing and captivity (now in Afghanistan rather than Southeast Asia), and in looking at a the history of Tony Stark and Iron Man, as the stressors grew up around him in the comics, the alcoholism came in, and a similar path may be followed in the film. Favreau said that he'll be starting with the gray armor in the film, before moving on to a few different types of armor, and will end with the gold and red, evolving more into a weapons platform than a flying suit.
And just as the panel was closing, Favreau said that the villain in the Iron Man film will be Mandarin.
