CC-licensed PowerPoint-Free Zone logo
I’m with Edward Tufte and Kathy Sierra on this one. I never use PowerPoint in my presentations because it:
- Limits interaction and spontaneity
- Focuses people’s attention on the slides rather than on what’s happening in the room
- Often requires dim, snooze-inducing lighting
There are great uses of PowerPoint too, but why risk it when doing your presentations “live” makes them:
- More fun
- More interactive and dynamic
- More interesting
So a while back we got our excellent designer to create a cool logo to celebrate the fact that out presentations are 100% PowerPoint-free zones.
We’re now releasing this logo under a Creative Commons license, so go ahead and use it if you want to go PowerPoint-free too.
The logo is available in Danish, Swedish and English and the CC license allows you to change it to your language if you’d like to.

This is a nice and really humorous idea! Thumbs up! & let’s hope for more and more powerpoint free zones, both in the academic and business world…
Cheers,

I’m with you my friend!
What do we want? PowerPoint-Free zones everywhere!
When do we want them? Now!
Catchy, no?

[...] Anyway, I read about this Pecha Kucha thing and went “hmmmm, that sounds like a new challenge” (regardless of my normal resistance to PowerPoint slides). Mind you: I decided to do it 1 hour before the session started, so I had to furry and cut down a previous “Happy At Work” presentation and figure out what to say. [...]
