Templates for powerpoint presentations

powerpointIt is important that the University is identified throughout the course of Powerpoint presentations and print-outs with consistent branding.  

PowerPoint presentations and documents will therefore use many of the core components of the identity to be found in the Branding Guidelines. These are now available as PowerPoint templates for:

  1. Title slide
  2. Text template slide

Slides should be produced using the Arial typeface unless other text is being imported as a graphic element.

The title slide carries the University of Oxford's logo positioned to the right and can carry one or two additional logos where partners are involved in the presentation. Otherwise these Partner Logo boxes should be deleted. Identification of Department, should be entered in the top left field.

On text slides, the University logo appears at the base of the slide, aligned to the left, again with provision for one or two partner logos to follow to the right.

Background Colours

The colour of background for text slides is set to Pastel Blue as a default, but other colours from the Brand Guidelines Colour Palette may be used to either reflect the subject matter or provide a coding device for different sections within large presentations. Pure White as a background colour is not recommended for text pages as these can create unacceptable levels of glare that affect legibility adversely.

To change the background colour of the slides, go to the slide master under View > Masters > Slide master. Now you are viewing the slide master, go to Format  > Slide background > More colours > Custom. Here, enter the RGB values of the selected "pastel" colour from the colour palette to be found in the Branding Guidelines. Click OK. Then click "Apply" in the slide background box X - do not click "Apply to all" as this will also change the background of the title slide, which is not permissible.
