Adding the logo to all slides at once
You want your logo, brand colour and a footer on every slide of your presentation. Pasting it onto each slide separately is a lot of work, and it never ends up in exactly the same spot. Use the Slide Master instead: whatever you place there appears on every slide.
Step by step
- Go to the View tab and click Slide Master. The Slide Master tab appears.
- Click the top, largest slide on the left. That's the master slide, and the smaller slides underneath are the layouts based on it.
- Insert your logo via Insert and Picture, and position it where you want. You can also choose the background, font and colours here.
- Click Close Master. The logo now appears on every slide.
Not on the title slide?
Then don't add the logo to the master slide, but only to the layouts where you want it: click that layout in the Slide Master (for example "Title and Content") and insert the logo there.
Pitfalls
- Is the logo missing from one slide? That slide might be using a layout without a logo, or you've changed the formatting on that slide itself. Right-click the slide and choose Reset slide.
- In the Slide Master, you can't accidentally move the logo while creating slides. If you want to adjust it, go back to the Slide Master.
- A logo you paste onto a regular slide only appears on that slide.
