The people on the list are those I tend to hear about a lot and whose work is often referred to in papers. But yeah, there are a lot of other great and talented data viz people out there... ben schneiderman, ben fry, casey reas, simon urbanek, antony unwin, all the guys at stamen, everyone with bestiario, everyone i've referred to in the past, etc... @Marius – i kept the list short on purpose b/c otherwise i would have just gone forever :).

So, I think it depends on your field. I surely wouldn't say no to any of these iconic figures if they offered. :D I voted for Few because I am in the business arena, which like you stated is mostly his focus.

You're missing some obvious names that have been responsible for a lot of recent popular visualizations: - Martin Wattenberg - Ben Fry - Golan Levin - Tom Carden For the more design-related part of things I'd mention Catalogtree, Stamen and Strukt. Depending on what you had in mind there's plenty of others. Also, Manuel Lima of VisualComplexity.com has put together a great resource for the field of visualization.
