GIF with text reading 'Last chance to buy early bird tickets for #ASDC26.' The black text appears to 'fall' onto the yellow background page and is then circled in red.
Animated gif with the text “Who cares about science?” in bold white letters on a black background. Some letters are replaced with colourful block icons - a yellow eye, a pink heart, a blue profile of a head with a brain, a teal pen, a green sigma symbol and a blue moon. As the animation plays, these icons are switched for the letters they represent, one at a time. On the right, text reads “Association for Science and Discovery Centres – 2026 Conference,” with the dates “14th–15th October” and the location “Techniquest, Cardiff.”

Animation of the words 'sign our open letter' appearing in a handwriting font. Above this is the logo for Science Centres For Our Future, which features that text in green, yellow, orange and purple blended together, and an image of the UK made of different sized circles, in the same colour. All of this is on a background that looks like paper.
