Dark, sharp, high-contrast · PowerPoint & Google Slides
6 Cool Presentation Templates
Cool in the sense people mean when they search it: dark backgrounds, sharp contrast, a little swagger. Velocity is the flagship — navy field, lime-green accent, HUD-style headers built for a dim investor room. Spectrum cycles through navy, forest, burgundy and more, one per slide. Waves and Squares in blue and green bring the same confidence to a business deck, and Starlit's midnight sky does it for the holidays. Six templates, all 16:9, all with type large enough to read from the back row.

Good to know
Cool template questions.
Do dark templates work on a projector?
Yes, with one caveat: cheap or bright-room projectors wash out dark backgrounds. If you don't control the room, bump the type size a step or choose Waves Blue, whose ground is lighter. On a screen or a decent projector, a dark deck reads crisply.
Is a dark deck appropriate for a formal pitch?
It's the norm in tech — Velocity was built for exactly that room. For a bank, a board, or a government audience, Squares Blue gives you the same confidence on a lighter ground. Match the deck to who's watching, not to what looks best on your laptop.
Can I switch a cool template to a light background?
Waves and Squares yes — change the background on the Slide Master and the accents still work. Velocity and Spectrum are designed dark; flipping them light means re-choosing every accent, at which point you're better off starting from The Basic.
