New Corporate Design of University of Bremen for LaTeX
The aim of this project is to create LaTeX templates for the new corporate design of the University of Bremen. Currently, only a Beamer template is available, but feel free to contribute a letter template as well.
The Beamer template has officially been approved by the marketing department.
Beamer
Usage
An usage example is supplied with the template. Note that the template is optimized for an aspect ratio of 16:9. Using it in 4:3 is not recommended and may require additional tweaking.
Due to the number of elements that are supposed to be be placed in the headline (three logos, title, authors, date, faculty or institute), it is hard to find good sizes and spacing that fit everyone's need. The corresponding parameters can be customized in the file beamerouterthemeunibremen.sty in the headline section. This may for example be necessary if you have a very long title, a lot of authors, or very large logos. The placement becomes better when having using no partner logo. Suggestion for a more adaptive implementation of the headline layout are very welcome.
When defining the institute or partner logo, its size (preferable its height) should be given in relation to \baselineskip to ensure proper scaling on the headline and the title page.
The columns environment should only be used with the option onlytextwith to achieve the correct spacing/margin.
For convenience, the template defines a new environment named columnsotw, where this option is set as default.
Options
The following options can be supplied to the template:
-
footlinenumber: add slide numbers -
headlineinstitute: show the institute name instead of "Faculty ..." in headline -
english: use the English logo and "Faculty" instead of "Fachbereich" -
navline={true,small}: add nav buttons at the bottom -
footlinesection: add the sections to the footline (not recommended) -
widetext: align the left margin with the U of the logo instead of with the text of the logo
Colors
The template defines the official colors of the University of Bremen, that can be used in the presentation as needed (see also colors.png):
