As others have mentioned, beamer presentations look like beamer=20 presentations. One of the things that I like is that it is relatively easy= =20 to create the look that you want. Once you think about it a bit, presentations are no different than regular= =20 documents. You can get a reasonable looking presentation by just changing= =20 a few defaults: https://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/creating-a-clean-present= ation-style-in-40-commits/ I would recommend creating your own style for simple presentations and=20 slowly add bells and whistles.
