Did they really used Comic Sans?.. With that yellow discount star sign?.. What. the. hell.

  It's ok guys. It's just our high-power server CPU architecture. Totally cool to slap a yellow star sticker with misaligned text on it. I'm not sure if that's comic sans or a knockoff. Also I just love the teal bevel and big bank bag of cash. And the stock icons for checkmark, arrow, and question mark. And the complete and total misalignment of all the text. Goodness grief.

    Oh god, even the copywriting is awful. This is a master class in what not to do. Someone give this designer a government job already!

    No No No - you are totally missing the point. The design language used in those slides has been iteratively refined over decades and exhaustively A/B tested. It has many years of psychometric analysis applied to make it one of the most powerful sales tools in the world. To win over enterprise PHBs, you need to make them think that you are one of them. That you understand and empathise with them deeply. That you speak their language, and that you are part of their culture. What better way to do that than to give them a powerpoint presentation that looks just like the ones they give each other. That shows that you are already part of their world, and that you are worthy of the key to the executive washroom.
