2024 Show Your Cards Contest Winners
Finding information through endless scrolling and searching in traditional file folders and cloud storage can be overwhelming, leading to errors and wasted time. To simplify the process, we introduced Channel Cards and Key Cards.
Channel Cards act as “album covers” for each Channel you create, offering a visual way to navigate your content. Key Cards provide a way to visually group and filter content within a Channel. These visual gateways are dynamic and completely customizable through the use of your own graphics!
We launched the ‘Show Your Cards’ contest to encourage customers to share their creative uses of these features. Their entries were a testament to the power of visual navigation over searching through file folders and cloud storage solutions.
See 2024's submission winners below.
Best Brand Identity
Most reflective of the submitting firm
Introba
“Introba is a global company with offices in Canada, the United States, Australia, Serbia, and the United Kingdom.
In developing our AVAIL brand identity, we realised we needed separate channels for each region and shared global content. These channels had to have a consistent, recognisable identity and be visually appealing. The addition of the region’s flags and application logos allows all Introba users, regardless of their native language, to instantly recognise relevant Channels.
To ensure we can readily update Channel images, the Introba AVAIL template has been created in Microsoft PowerPoint, which all Introba staff have access to.”

Most effective in helping others find what they need faster

Show Your Cards Contest Honorable Mentions
Gray AE
“When creating the Key Cards I wanted them to be simple, easy to read, and throw in an “Easter egg” to see if anyone catches it. Our Channel 12 has the most obvious “Easter egg” and I’ve added some in other Channels. It’s a fun way to keep people engaged and checking for updates.”
Taylor Design
“At Taylor Design, we’re all about making things easy. The visual magic of AVAIL’s Channel Cards has transformed how we navigate content, providing a reliable roadmap for effortless exploration. We appreciate how a well-designed visual touch simplifies navigation and brings a sense of satisfaction to content discovery.”
