The title slide is the screen an audience stares at the longest — before the talk starts, and again during Q&A. The more logos, background photos, and decorative shapes it carries, the more the title itself gets buried.
The demo's ✕ scatters two logos, a decorative shape, and the title, subtitle, presenter, and date into four different corners. The ✓ puts one title front and center, then stacks subtitle, presenter, and date below it in small type, with generous margin.
Checklist: is the title the largest, first thing the eye lands on, is there at most one small logo tucked in a corner if you truly need it, does secondary information — presenter, date, event name — stay smaller than the title.
When to use
When building a new deck template, start by reserving space for the title first — not the logo or background decoration.
