Welcome to the McKnight Brain Institute brand center!
This webpage provides various resources for faculty, staff, and students to support the McKnight Brain Institute’s brand identity.
Through the links below, you’ll find templates, tips, and resources to help MBI members create professional and effective communications. Do you need to make a digital graphic, flyer, or presentation? Looking for the MBI logo or need to make a featured image for your website? You’ve come to the right place.
Logos
Unless you have an approved secondary logo for your department, division, center, or unit (you may inquire via a form on the UF brand website), please use the official UF McKnight Brain Institute logo. Do not alter this logo in any way, such as distorting the dimensions, cropping, changing the colors or adding/deleting text.

MBI PowerPoint Presentation Template
Faculty, students and staff may download the institute's powerpoint template for use in academic presentations, research papers, and other official communications. Please accesibility instructions below.
Before sharing your presentation, take a few minutes to make it accessible.
Add a title to every slide. Even if the title isn’t visible on screen, it helps screen readers navigate your presentation. In PowerPoint, use the title placeholder on each slide — don’t leave it blank.
Add alt text to any images you insert. Right-click an image, select “Edit Alt Text,” and write a brief description of what the image shows. If an image is purely decorative, mark it as decorative instead.
Run the Accessibility Checker before you share. In PowerPoint, go to Review → Check Accessibility. Address any errors it flags before distributing or posting your file.
If you plan to share or post this presentation, these steps are required under UF’s accessibility policy. If you’re presenting live only, we still recommend them — an audience member may have accessibility needs, and keeping these habits consistent makes compliance easier across the board.
