As others have mentioned, beamer presentations look like beamer
presentations. One of the things that I like is that it is relatively easy
to create the look that you want.
Once you think about it a bit, presentations are no different than regular
documents. You can get a reasonable looking presentation by just changing
a few defaults:

I would recommend creating your own style for simple presentations and
slowly add bells and whistles.
