A toolkit for brand ambassadors

We're making it easier for you to live the SAIT brand with our template hub. This is your go-to resource for downloadable templates designed to align with SAIT’s visual identity standards.

From print materials to digital assets, these templates are here to help staff and faculty create communications that reflect our brand with clarity and consistency.

Please note that templates are for SAIT staff and faculty use only. Templates are not to be used by students or external vendors.

We’re continuously expanding this collection, so check back often for the latest additions and updates. 

Please connect with us at brand.questions@sait.ca before printing or publishing your piece to ensure you are using the brand elements correctly, especially as we roll out the new look and feel. If you need a custom design, please contact XCreative. Conveniently located on SAIT’s main campus, XCreative will ensure your print and digital needs are met while adhering to SAIT’s current brand guidelines. 

PowerPoint

This institutional PowerPoint template is designed to ensure consistent, professional presentations that align with our brand identity. Use it for internal and external communications, reports, project updates, or strategic proposals.

Always maintain brand consistency by using the preset fonts, colours, and slide layouts provided. Avoid altering logos or graphic elements, and ensure all content reflects the organization’s tone and visual guidelines. Keeping these practices in mind will help reinforce our brand and present a unified, credible image to all audiences.

This template is available on SAITNow only for SAIT staff and contractors with a ‘@sait.ca’ email account.

Posters

Posters are a great way of sharing information with SAIT’s community. Use them to promote events or for awareness campaigns. Select the template that works best for your purpose, always considering your audience first.

Write clear and compelling messages that engage your prospective readers. Keep in mind that posters are often read in passing — so be concise and get straight to the point. Refer to our tone of voice for further guidance on your use of language.

Last but not least, close the message with a clear call-to-action. What do you want your audience to do? Register, contact, learn more, etc.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
