You can redefine the title page template and format the title page any way you wish (within limits of course: it all has to fit on one slide). For example, try adding this to the preamble (note that I made the image bigger, but if it doesn't fit, you can use the same method to make it smaller): ,---- | \titlegraphic{\begin{center}\includegraphics[width=5cm]{foo.png}\end{center}} | | \title{Example presentation} | \author{Nick Dokos \\ $<$\href{mailto:nicholas.dokos@hp.com}{nicholas.dokos@hp.com}$>$} | \date{04 July 2009} | | \setbeamertemplate{title page}{ | \centering{ | \inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle \\ | \insertauthor \\ | \insertdate \\ | \inserttitlegraphic}} `---- You might also try asking questions about beamer on comp.text.tex (after all, this has nothing to do with org-mode). I don't know if Till Tantau hangs out there any longer, but you are still much more likely to get answers to such questions there. HTH, Nick
