PowerPoint files which incorporate Purdue brand elements and the Polytechnic co-brand logo are available below to serve as templates for your own presentations and/or research & capstone posters.
To create additional slides in your presentations, simply click the tiny arrow next to "New Slide" (near the top left of the PowerPoint window) and select the layout you need.
The downloadable presentation templates include an instruction slide (delete after you've read it) and a "Contact Info" slide which could be shown while you answer audience questions. These templates are configured to use the fonts Franklin Gothic and Impact by default, as these fonts are already available on most computers and are the approved substitutes for the brand guide's Acumin Pro and United Sans fonts.
Presentation templates are available in gold, black and white editions; example slides and download links are below. See below for the research poster template as well.

Research & Capstone Poster Template
The template for research poster sessions and capstone presentations was created in PowerPoint for convenience (since we think of PowerPoint as the tool for presentations), but it was designed around the idea that you will print it rather than use it in a traditional on-screen presentation.
Design elements consistent with Purdue’s brand are included. The poster template uses the fonts Franklin Gothic and Impact by default, as these fonts are already available on most computers and are the approved substitutes for the brand guide's Acumin Pro and United Sans fonts.
