PowerPoint Presentations

                    
Internal Presentations
Honeywell has established a standard format for presentation slides prepared with the Microsoft PowerPoint® software. This format is to be used in all presentations for internal audiences. The use of a common, flexible format throughout the company is designed to promote consistency; make it easier to share and update presentations, data and graphics; and ensure that Honeywell presentations reinforce the company’s visual identity.

To make it easy to develop PowerPoint presentations that comply with these standards, an approved Honeywell template has been created. This is the only approved standard PowerPoint template. Please delete all previous templates.

The template contains the standard Internal Honeywell PowerPoint graphics including:

- A cover or title slide;
- The Honeywell logotype with red rule, which appears on the top of each slide;
- The standard white background;
- The correct font (Arial) and the correct font size for each line of copy or level of bullets;
- The "Walk-Away Message" at the bottom of each slide. (The Walk-Away Message contains in just a few words, the primary message that the presenter wants his or her audience to recall from that particular slide).
- 2-up and 4-up template pages;
- Instructions and guidelines;

General Guidelines

- Do not add other elements to the title slide or the closing slide;
- Do not resize fonts to fit more text on a standard slide;
- 2-up and 4-up slide templates use smaller fonts;
- Do not use clip art;
- The optional Walk-Away-Message may be used at the bottom of the slide. It should be short and clear.
- The Walk-Away-Message may be white text in a red box or simply red text. Do not use other colors.
- Do not change the color of the background area. It is costly to print colored backgrounds.
-The internal template may be used externally, as long as the entire presentation uses the internal template.
-The external template should not be used for internal purposes.

o Subheads are 26 pt. Arial Bold in caps -- red text
o Bullet level 24 pt. Arial bold sentence case black text

Printing PowerPoint Presentations

External PowerPoint Presentations
Three templates are available for creating external PowerPoint presentations. External templates should not be used for internal presentations.

External PowerPoint template - with black cover slide
External PowerPoint template - with white cover slide

Partnership Presentations

When presenting with a legal partner of Honeywell's, the partner's logo may be used. On the cover slide, the partner logo may be placed on the right side above the Honeywell logo. The partner logo should not be larger than the Honeywell logo. On text pages of the external PowerPoint template, the partner logo should be placed in the bottom right corner above the blue line. The partner logo should not be larger than the Honeywell logo.


Confidential or not?

It’s up to the creator of a slide presentation to determine whether it should be designated confidential. In general, your presentation should be marked Honeywell - Confidential if it contains:

Information, technical data or know-how that is not generally known outside Honeywell;
Specific financial information or projections that are not public knowledge;
Business, legal or personnel information related to the conduct of business at Honeywell;
Plans, strategies, tactics or projections about the company’s future;
Intellectual property or trade secrets that Honeywell makes a reasonable effort to keep secret;
Information that could provide a competitive advantage for Honeywell or could benefit a competitor;
Technical or scientific information about the company’s products or research activities.
