Beamer theme for the New Economic School

beamerthemenes is a package which adds the New Economic School colors and logo to the nice clean Metropolis Beamer theme.

Prerequisites

• Sufficiently new TeXLive or MikTeX distribution (TeXLive 2023 works).
• LuaTeX (luatex package in TeXLive)
• Lato font (lato package in TeXLive)
• Noto Sans Mono font (noto package in TeXLive)
• Lete Sans Math font (lete-sans-math package in TeXLive)
• Metropolis theme (beamertheme-metropolis package in TeXLive)
• NES logo package

Installation

Just put all the .sty files into your TEXMF tree, typically either into %USERPROFILE%/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/nes/ (on MS Windows), or into $HOME/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/nes/ on Linux.

Usage

As usual, put into your document's preamble

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{nes}

and build your presentation using LuaLaTeX. You'll see a NES logo at the titlepage and a smaller one in the frame titles. Also, the NES blue/red color scheme will be applied to the slides.

Since nes is a thin wrapper around metropolis, it inherits all the options which can be found in the Metropolis manual. Additional options are:

logo

(true or false) Chooses if the NES logo should be used in slides at all.

logo language

(auto, russian, or english) Chooses the NES logo language. auto means that the logo language is set as the main language from babel or polyglossia settings.

font family

(lato, segoe, or museo) Chooses the font for the slides contents. lato chooses the Lato font, segoe chooses the Segoe UI font (it's available in MS Windows distributions), museo chooses the Museo Sans Cyrl font, which is a commercial font from the NES brandbook.

titleformat font family

(auto, lato, segoe, or museo) Chooses the font for the main title and for frame titles. auto means the same font as for the contents of the slides, the other values mean the same as the respective values for the font family option.

The nes theme also changes default settings for a few Metropolis options:

• numbering is now equal to fraction by default
• blocks are now filled (by light-grey color) by default

Examples

Simple demo slides.

Default colors, suitable for formal presentations:

The other three color schemes are less formal.

Grey background (\usecolortheme{nesgrey})

Blue background (\usecolortheme{nesblue})

Red background (\usecolortheme{nesred})
