The University of Illinois is undergoing a rebranding campaign to shift away from the beloved “Column I” to the “Block I” logo. Per the official brand website, the colors and logos previously used were in violation. This update seeks to address this inconsistency.
Furthermore, we’ve added two new contributors to the package. These contributors have provided a second minimalist beamer theme and ideas toward a student final report template.
