- 3. Logotype on title slides To make sure that your presentations communicate our brand efficiently, flag the Steria logotype and name in a clear and obvious manner, and especially from the start First impressions matter most – take ownership of the presentation from the beginning, and feature a large Steria logo on the title slides 14/11/2013 3 www.steria.no
- 4. Logotype on content slides www.steria.no On subsequent slides, the main emphasis should be on the content. Therefore, a dominant Steria logo does not appear in the top ribbon Instead, the Steria logotype is included in the bottom right corner of each slide following the natural eye flow (top left to bottom right) 14/11/2013 4

- 6. Typeface The typeface used for all Steria presentations is Arial Arial is a system font available to everyone, including our employees and clients Using this font means that our slides will look the same regardless of which computer is being used Never use “Arial Unicode MS” in PowerPoint – when embedded it greatly increases file size Arial Narrow may be used within charts and diagrams in cases where space is limited 14/11/2013 6 www.steria.no ABCDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVWXYZ Abcdefghijklm nopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890

- 19. 1. Title slides www.steria.no Use the title slide to introduce the presentation – it should establish the theme of what is to follow Ideally, keep the slide title and subheading to one line – never make them longer than two lines Use a photo at the bottom only if it will enhance your message – otherwise use the plain option Use the ‘Title Slide (Background image)’ to ensure your image fits perfectly 14/11/2013 19
- 20. 2. Content slides Avoid running an agenda over more than one slide Instead reduce the number of bullet points When introducing a particular section, highlight the line in the agenda by changing it to bold and the slide colour, ie orange, blue, green or red 14/11/2013 20 www.steria.no
- 21. 3. Text slides Text slides may have one or two columns of text Do not use more than ten bullet points on a slide – the fewer bullet points the better If a point is especially long, consider splitting it into two or more bullet points or a sub bullet 14/11/2013 21 www.steria.no
- 22. 3. Text slides (continued) There are many ways of combining text slides with a photo, table or graph Where information is complex, consider a table, diagram or image to simplify its presentation Try to present only one big idea for each slide 14/11/2013 22 www.steria.no
- 23. 4. Table slides www.steria.no When you insert a table, the colours will match the slide colour theme. There are many ways of making tables more memorable and interesting, i.e. combining tables, photos and charts 14/11/2013 23
- 24. 5. Chart slides Make charts and diagrams as clear as possible to better convey the message The fewer lines, text and figures the better Avoid too many colours or excessive 3D effects Use illustrative imagery to add interest 14/11/2013 24 www.steria.no
- 25. 6. Image slides www.steria.no Use images with care – they should be relevant to the content The slide colour and image should complement each other When placing text over an image, ensure that the text is legible – use a solid or semi-transparent box over the image if necessary 14/11/2013 25
- 26. Image tucked under the ribbon Use the following two options from the available slide layouts For a title slide, select “Title slide Background Image” For a standard slide, select “Small Ribbon full image” In both cases, click on the icon in the middle of the slide and import the image as a file 14/11/2013 26 www.steria.no
- 27. The grid provides a flexible layout system If all your slide elements have been aligned using the layout grid, it gives the presentation a consistent and professional “look and feel” as you move from slide to slide. Make sure to turn on support lines and set them up as shown here The key points to remember are: Ensure that text blocks and graphical elements are not moved away from their default position in the master template When using additional text boxes or graphics, always align them to gridlines 14/11/2013 27 www.steria.no

- 30. Use of partner/client logotype on text slides Client/partner logos on text and content slides can be placed in the top right underneath the ribbon graphic HOW TO DO IT In PowerPoint 2010 go to View > Slide Master Select the content slide, paste the partner logo and position it top right as shown here The logo can then be copied from this position and pasted onto the other coloured master content slides 14/11/2013 30 www.steria.no
- 31. Be sure to represent client logos correctly When using corporate logos other than our own, be considerate of any special needs and graphic standards that the client or partner may require (colour, placement, spacing) Copying logos from web pages of the company often results in poor graphic quality which is not appropriate – it does not demonstrate respect for your client 14/11/2013 31 www.steria.no
