[Cfat] Re: Director's Office : TRIUMF Style Guide - Our Visual Identity

[Chris Ruiz]

Great step forward I agree!
One thing that occurred to me however, regards the powerpoint  
template. Tim Meyer created a .ppt template for the International Peer  
Review Committee that has been extensively used at large presentations  
(such as NSERC visits) by TRIUMF BAEs and Nigel, that appears to have  
been quite successful and looks great. I wondered if this might also  
be added to the style guide as an alternative choice to the one that  
is there, as it has an off-white background which is preferable in  
some cases (such as when adding borderless scientific graphs with the  
standard ROOT off-white background).

Thanks!

Chris

Wittgenstein: 'Why do people always say it was natural for man to  
assume that the sun went round the Earth rather than that the Earth  
was rotating?'
Friend: 'Well obviously because it just looks as though the Sun is  
going round the Earth.'
Wittgenstein 'Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked  
like the Earth was rotating?'
