Some cracking entries in the whole contest let alone the final 10, for me it was a toss up between the London Bus, the 2nd design and the cursor arrows.
Which did i pick? Now that would be telling, good luck to all the entrants

Agreed, the bus and arrows are the two best. But I’m going with the bus, because how can you not?

Some great entries although I’m bit disappointed my entry didn’t make the cut : (
I think Simon’s is spot on! Well done

I really like #2 because it’s about the conference attendees themselves, cleverly referencing the things we all do between (and, let’s face it, during) presentations.
The bus might make a good ad for London tourism, but “what are you doing?” is perfect for a holding slide: “the static graphic we display between sessions whilst the MC is introducing the next speaker and we are swapping out laptops.” (Besides which, a fair number of attendees will be FROM London, and as weary of bus/guard iconography as Aussies are of the Sydney opera house.)

Gabi totally rocked. In fact, so did Kassy, but I wish, his work’d be more FOWA-related.

The Moore entry is a design that comments on design, old and new.

Great work! I like the second one best. It’s not just a collection of things to do, but the slide itself gives you something to do during the break just looking at all the different icons.
Also, I wish there were links to these designers’ websites… I’d love to be able to check out more work by most of the folks here!

Thanks for including the pickuptruck! If I didn’t have a personal obligation to vote for my own, I’d pick Simon Menhinick’s (even though I thought they were ants at first).
weee!

I love Pickup Truck. Hillarious.

Thanks for such a good shortlist! If I had to choose then guess it would be eyedea’s its just so fresh and optimistic… qualities that are so evident in much web work today and which we all need more in these times of gloom. Looking forward to a great event. JW

Mine was in the group but doesn’t show in the pool, so was it even judged? Rubbish.
