There are two main templates that I work with - one with a subtitle for the standard and one without. The centering on the vertical text doesn't (in my experience) work, so I just have to play with the size of the parbox to make that work, but everything else renders pretty easily.
Edit: Thanks to Aaron Titus for pointing out two necessary inclusions:

\usepackage{graphicx}
