Brand Color System (Quick Reference)
| Color | Hex | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Blue | #0C4A7D |
Headers, navigation, brand structure |
| Teal Green | #00B69F |
Highlights, CTAs, iQ accents — NOT for body text |
| Sky Blue | #6fb4e3 |
Vignette accent, movement |
| Midnight Navy | #002747 |
Text and bold highlights (use as black) |
| Cool Grey | #CFD1D1 |
Section text highlighting |
| Soft White | #F5F5F5 |
Background |
Critical rules: Teal fails accessibility as body text (2.4:1). Midnight Navy never as background. White text on Cool Grey is wrong — use Navy.
Typography (Quick Reference)
Font: Poppins only. Semibold for headings, Regular for body. 14pt minimum, 18pt preferred body. 1.21x line spacing.
Fourth iQ Branding (CRITICAL)
- Spelling: lowercase 'i', uppercase 'Q' → "iQ" — NEVER "IQ", "Iq", "iq"
- Standard tagline: "Powered by iQ" — NOT "uses iQ", "with iQ", "has iQ"
- Can bold "iQ" or use teal accent (#00B69F) for emphasis
Powered by iQ Tab: Teal gradient background · White iQ icon · Shadow effect
iQ in Charts/Diagrams: Graduated teal keyline or simple teal shape next to row
Fourth Dimension Messaging
"The Fourth Dimension" = the era where iQ transforms data into intelligent action.
- Capitalize both words: "Fourth Dimension"
- Frame moments of transformation; pair with momentum, control, insight messaging
- Example: "Welcome to the Fourth Dimension — where your operation moves faster than time"
- Never: use as slogan without context, feel static, focus on technology alone
Content Structure
The 4x6 Rule (apply religiously for bullets)
Option 1 — 4 lines of 6 words:
Innovation drives our continued success forward Customer focus builds lasting relationship foundations
Option 2 — 6 lines of 4 words:
Drive innovation forward daily Build lasting customer relationships
Forces clarity, makes slides scannable, prevents information overload.
Presentation Structure
Opening (first 3 slides):
- Title — company name, presentation title, presenter info
- Agenda — what will be covered
- Context — why this matters to audience
Middle (core content):
- One key idea per slide
- Visual support when possible (photos, charts, diagrams)
- Section breaks for major topic changes
Closing (final 3 slides):
- Summary — key takeaways (3-5 bullets max)
- Next steps — clear, actionable items
- Thank you — contact info + "Powered by iQ" callout
Tone of Voice
| Voice | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| Energetic | "Transform your operations" | "Operations can be transformed" |
| Insightful | "Our analysis of 10,000+ venues shows..." | "We think..." |
| Human | "We understand the complexity of managing shifts" | "Our algorithms optimize resource allocation" |
| Confident | "This will improve efficiency" | "This might help" |
White Space & Alignment
- If content feels cramped → split into multiple slides
- Template has built-in margins — don't push content to edges
- Empty areas draw attention to filled areas
- Everything aligns to something — templates have invisible grid guides
Workflow for Creating Presentations
- Clarify Purpose — audience, key message, call to action
- Structure Content — opening → middle → closing, one idea per slide
- Select Template Layouts — 62 available; match layout to content type
- Apply Brand Standards — colors, Poppins, 4x6 rule, white space (see
references/brand-standards.md) - Review and Refine — run quality checklist, verify accessibility, test in presentation mode
Workflow for Reviewing Presentations
- Brand Compliance — colors, Poppins, iQ spelling, logo usage
- Content Quality — 4x6 rule, clear messaging, logical flow, correct tone
- Design Quality — layouts appropriate, elements aligned, white space adequate
- Technical Quality — images hi-res, file size, accessibility
- Provide Feedback — list what works, specific improvements, prioritize: critical → high → nice-to-have
Remember
Every Fourth presentation should be:
- On-brand: Follows all guidelines consistently
- Professional: High quality execution
- Effective: Clear message, strong impact
- Accessible: Readable and inclusive
The Fourth Dimension should feel alive — with depth, contrast, and energy. Clarity and impact over decoration.
