How to create a ribbon banner in Powerpoint

Use this step-by-step demo to learn how to create a ribbon banner in PowerPoint.
  1. Click the "Insert" button located at the top.
  2. Click Shapes located in the Illustrations tab.
  3. Choose a Ribbon or Banner shape located in Stars and Banners.
  4. Click and drag on the slide to draw it.
  5. Right-click and select "Edit Text".
  6. Type your text directly inside the shape.

📌 Why this matters

Ribbon banners instantly signal importance and grab attention in ways that regular text boxes can't. They're perfect for highlighting key messages, awards, or special announcements in presentations. Beyond their visual appeal, ribbons tap into familiar design psychology—we associate them with certificates, achievements, and premium content. This makes your audience subconsciously treat whatever you've placed on the ribbon as more significant. Whether you're showcasing quarterly results, announcing promotions, or emphasizing deadlines, the ribbon format elevates ordinary information into something that feels official and noteworthy.
