CC-licensed PowerPoint-Free Zone logo

PowerPoint-Free ZoneI’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…

    What do we want? PowerPoint-Free zones everywhere!

    When do we want them? Now!

    Catchy, no?

    Great idea. I will certainly use it.

  4. […] 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. […]

    I am in total agreement that Powerpoint is so old-fashioned and corny. Can anyone suggest alternatives to PP which are easy to use, easy to deliver, and also engage the audience?
