four step ribbon diagram

This slide showcases a Four Step Ribbon Diagram in a clean, professional infographic style. Four interconnected ribbon segments form a looped cross shape, each rendered in a distinct hue for clear visual distinction and paired with an editable circular icon. The flat, minimal design maintains focus on content, while subtle shadows add depth. Generous text placeholders accompany each segment for concise descriptions, headings, or metrics. A header section clearly labels the asset as a FOUR STEP RIBBON DIAGRAM, supported by a subtitle placeholder for brief introductions or instructions. As part of the Infographics Elements collection, this slide is ideal for product descriptions, process overviews, and stepwise presentations.

The ribbon layout is fully constructed with vector shapes on a master slide, allowing effortless resizing and repositioning without quality loss. Four circular icons can be swapped to represent custom concepts—such as workflow stages, department functions, or milestone markers—while text boxes offer flexible formatting for titles, subtitles, or data points. A neutral connector block repeats between segments to unify the design and guide the viewer’s eye. The slide supports 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios, free web fonts, and buffer space for annotations or small graphics.

Customization is intuitive: adjust the palette by selecting alternate theme colors or inserting custom brand hues. Icons, text, and segment widths can be edited via drag-and-drop or by modifying the shape attributes. Additional steps can be added by duplicating a ribbon node and updating its connector block, while redundant stages may be hidden or merged. The design’s vector-based structure ensures pixel-perfect scaling and cross-platform fidelity, making it a robust asset for team meetings, training modules, or strategic roadmaps.

Who is it for

Project managers, consultants, process analysts, trainers, HR professionals, and educators will find this diagram invaluable for mapping workflows, presenting stepwise strategies, or illustrating cyclical processes. Marketing teams and product owners can also leverage the ribbon layout to highlight multi-phase initiatives or campaign timelines.
