10and5 *NOT* Shutting Down
EDIT: Thanks for taking part in our Aprils Fools prank (Some of you might remember last years one.
Thanks also for all the great messages and love shown, great to know that 10and5 is loved by you as much as it is by us.
So don’t worry, we won’t be closing down anytime soon. Expect more great creative work over the next few weeks.
Love and Regards,
Johann and Uno.

10and5 has been a long time project by Uno De Waal and I (Johann Schwella). We’ve spent many many hours writing posts, scouring the internet, phoning agencies and chatting to people to get content to showcase the best of what South Africa has to offer creatively.
We’ve done this without asking for much back.
10and5 has cost as quite a significant amount of time and money (we don’t make any money out of this) and we’ve decided that it’s time to hang up the proverbial hat and move on to bigger and better things.
We’ve loved the journey and all the great people we’ve met along the way, but ending today we’ll stop searching for and writing content, and let the blog lapse. We’ll leave everything as is for as long as the domain is active but once that is over, 10and5 will be no more.
Thanks again to all you great people out there and keep creating.
Over and out.

Happy Holidays from 10and5!
The end of 2009 is nigh (giggle) and we’d just like to take this opportunity to thank you guys for your support. And to everyone we’ve featured this year, thank you! Without your amazing creativity and hard work we wouldn’t exist. So, before this starts to sound like an Oscar speech, we just want to wish you all a happy festive season and new year! And as our present to you, we’re putting together all our favourites of 2009 for you to enjoy!
Cheers,
the 10and5 team
Kate’s Favourite from 2009:
The reason I’ve chosen this ad as my favourite piece for 2009 is because the first time I saw it I didn’t like it very much. But looking back on it now, I love it. When discussing the ad, one friend said to me “It’s lifestyle, it’s cool and edgy. Just like scar.” (thanks gmail chat history!) And despite the furore it caused on the site (read the comments here), I don’t think anyone can deny that. So well done to IdoIdea for getting people talking. And thanks to you guys for taking the time to debate creativity, it just goes to show what a passionate bunch you are.
Uno’s Favourite from 2009:
It’s difficult choosing from massive body of work, and the amount of great creative work being punted out this year is astonishing. I’m picking the Ami Collective BARE project as my favourite creative piece of the year as it shows a broad collective of artists and illustrators that we’ve featured during the past year. Check out the rest here.
Johann’s Favourite from 2009:
What a great year for South African design and illustration. When Uno and I started this project I was slightly worried that we wouldn’t have enough content. Boy, was I wrong.
My favourite piece for 2009 was the VW “Cheetah” advert by Ogilvy Cape Town. Some hated it, most loved it, but no one can disagree that it didn’t make an impact.
Here’s the ad again in case you missed it:
Mari’s Favourite from 2009:
When choosing my fave post for this year, I decided to stick with the post that came to mind immediately: Jan Spies for Cremora. It’s a known fact that I’m a huge fan of Afrikaans and a little known fact that I have a collection of Jan Spies short stories that I treasure in my bookcase. The ad is the epitome of the writer’s dryness and humour – an absolute treasure to have discovered!

New logo is here!
We’re very excited to show you the final logo that we’ve gone with.
We’ve shown you quite a number of iterations and doodles that the agency, IdoIdea, experimented with. The final concept of the logo shows our involvment in the creative and design community by subtly using the colours that designers work with ALL the time – CMYK and RGB. The font is clean and understated in order to take a backseat from the rest of the design – We didn’t want to overpower the site with one logo, and felt that it should take a backseat so as not to distract from the content on the site. Kind of like wearing a dress that’s not as flash as the bride at a wedding. We’re very happy with the design, and feel that the response from you guys has been great as well, we’ve gotten some GREAT feedback, and we’ve also made some last minute tweaks here and there based on this. As one commentator said, “Don’t design by committee” – we were happy that we didn’t send out an open brief (some people were expecting this), but we’re confident that the logo reflects the spirit behind Between 10 and 5.

As promised we’re going to reveal the second or third iteration of the logo design. This time round it’s a lot more 3D and techy. You’ll see that the 10 is made up of 10 blocks, and the 5 from 5 different blocks. The rest of the blocks spell out AND.
