Can I change the color palette to match my company branding?

Yes. All vector elements, callout cards, and low-poly graphics are built natively in PowerPoint. You can easily adjust the entire deck's color scheme using PowerPoint's built-in theme color menus or modify elements individually.

Does this template require premium fonts?

No. To maintain complete cross-device compatibility and prevent broken typography when emailing your presentation to clients, this template utilizes universally available, premium-looking system typography.

What makes this different from standard corporate presentation templates?

Unlike standard corporate slide decks that rely on unstyled bulleted lists, this template enforces strict McKinsey-style presentation principles. Every slide features an action-focused title, a distinct data-driven anchor point, clean negative space, and semantic color logic that guides the viewer's subconscious through a cohesive narrative.

Are the iceberg, cargo ship, and submarine graphics separate assets?

Yes. Every 3D low-poly graphic is a separate design asset within the presentation. You can copy, scale, reposition, or reuse the custom iceberg and submarine elements across other slides or internal corporate documents.
