The South African public are voting on which poster to use as the official design. What do you think? Which one would you choose?
Personally, I think it's fantastic that the people are getting to choose. Perhaps if the London 2012 Olympic committee opened their logo design process up to the public we wouldn't be left with the eye sore I'm seeing everywhere.
I'd choose the 2nd option.
The third option strikes me as pompous, because everyone knows the birthplace of football is Northern Ireland. NOT South Africa. ;)

I really like the one on the left.
It's big, bright, colorful and exciting!
The ball baby doesn't strike me off the bat as FOOTBALL! It looks more generic. It could be an ad for anything.
The central idea is neat and I love the Africa lend into the head. But it's still to plain for me.
The left one gets my vote. :)

I like the middle one. It's simple, bold, and catchy.
The one on the right reminds me of an ad for some unplanned pregnancy thing.
The one on the left is too....something. Hm. Too hard on my eyes?

Second one easily wins it for me. All the right symbolism is in place and it shows that just because it is being hosted in South Africa it actually represents a great achievement for the whole continent.

I would vote for number #2 which is my favourite, but FIFA.com have unnecessarily made it a laborious task. Their geolocation sniffing breaks for just about everyone that has tried to vote, and although they since updated making it possible to vote by going through their registration process first, I find this a waste of time. Such a pity..

I have to go with number 2 also. It seems to represent both South Africa and the World Cup.

I like how in #2, the man's head is in the shape of Africa. The colors are traditional African colors also.

I like #1, #2 second. Not sure I get the pregnancy world cup tie in with #3 - kinda scary actually

Scrivs, I agree it's good how the 2nd option represents the whole continent, and not just South Africa. This might be a poor design aspect for some, but if it attracts more publicity to all of Africa then it's only a good thing.
