About this design
Where the PwC Style style comes from, and what it signals.
PwC Style is inspired by the publicly observable deck conventions of PricewaterhouseCoopers advisory presentations: Georgia-equivalent serif headlines in sentence case at pure black #000000, Arimo body text in dark gray #464646, and a five-color warm accent palette applied one or two colors per slide. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by PwC; it reconstructs the aesthetic from what is visible in the public domain.
The signature motif is a mosaic of translucent rectangles sharing a bottom-left corner and fanning up and to the right, in burnt orange #D04A02, tangerine #EB8C00, yellow #FFB600, rose #D93954 and red #E0301E, with visible overlap blends. It appears on the title slide corner only. Charts use gray columns with one warm-colored series; a thin 1px red-outlined callout box annotates the key delta. Section dividers carry a giant warm numeral at around 260px beside a serif title. Headlines use Gelasio, a metric-compatible Georgia-style serif; body copy uses Arimo.
The theme reads as authoritative and formal. Its strength is color management: five warm colors under strict rationing create richness without chaos. Use it for client deliverables, board readouts or any context where a professional services register is appropriate.
Use it for
- Client-facing advisory and management consulting deliverables
- Board and executive committee readouts requiring formal credibility
- Financial analysis and market assessment presentations
- Proposal decks where the visual register must signal seniority
Skip it for
- Creative or brand presentations where the formal serif register reads as stiff
- Technology or startup audiences who read the aesthetic as old-fashioned
The slide design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation in the 'PwC Style' theme, an unofficial homage to the Big Four advisory deck. Background: white (#FFFFFF). Typography: headlines in 'Gelasio', a warm Georgia-style serif, regular weight, sentence case, pure black (#000000); body copy in 'Arimo', a neutral Arial-metric sans, in dark gray (#464646), both Google Fonts; emphasis through bold serif runs, never colored type. Accent palette is five warm colors used sparingly, one or two per slide: yellow #FFB600, tangerine #EB8C00, burnt orange #D04A02 (the hero), rose #D93954, red #E0301E. Greys are pure black tints: #2D2D2D, #464646, #7D7D7D, #DEDEDE. The signature motif is a mosaic of translucent rectangles sharing one bottom-left corner and fanning up and to the right, in the warm colors with visible overlap blends; place it in a corner of the title slide only. Title and closing slides carry a logo placeholder: a dashed 1px #7D7D7D box labeled 'YOUR LOGO' in letterspaced caps, replaced with the company's logo. Title slide: small serif date top-left, large serif title in the lower-left third, an italic serif event line beneath, and 'Strictly private and confidential' in tiny italics bottom-right. Footer on every content slide: 'Company | page number' in tiny gray text bottom-left, with 8px gray source and footnote lines directly above. Stat slides use flat full-bleed color blocks in orange, tangerine and yellow with white or black type. Charts: gray columns or bars with exactly one warm-colored highlight series and a thin 1px red-outlined callout box annotating the key delta. Section dividers: a giant warm-colored numeral, around 260px, beside a serif section title. Generous white space throughout. Strictly avoid: blues and greens, gradients, drop shadows, rounded corners, bold or colored headlines, all five accents on one slide, claiming affiliation with PwC. Use this theme for my slides. Ask me what the presentation is about first, then apply the theme to every slide.View this prompt and its data on GitHub
