Logo Animation

1.

A little bit about them:

Logos are supposed to be fun, eye-catching and memorable. So, naturally, animated logos are a perfect fit! While traditionally logos have been unmoving for over a hundred years, now with animations so accessible in digital design, and the internet providing an ideal medium for moving images, it’s no surprise that animated logos are taking off.

What types of files should I have access to before animating my logo?

Vector File

For the highest quality of animation, you’ll need the original logo file in a vector format, such as AI (Adobe Illustrator) or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript). Vector files allow for scalability without loss of quality and provide the necessary flexibility for animation purposes.

Font Files

If your logo has a specific font incorporated into the design or in the tagline, you’ll need to provide the font files in either .ttf or .otf formats. This ensures that the animated logo maintains consistency with the original design and uses the correct typography.

Brand Guidelines

You will want to share your brand guidelines or style guide documents that outline the specifications and rules related to logo usage, colors, typography, and any other visual guidelines. This ensures that your animated logo remains consistent with your overall brand identity.

What are the different types of logo animation?

Looping

Animated logo loops create the illusion of a seamless and continuous animation as it repeats. While this style may not be essential when the logo appears only once, it becomes highly effective when the logo needs to be continuously displayed.

Changing

Changing animated logos don’t stay the same for long. This style is often used when logos shift between a pictorial representation and a wordmark, or when alternating between two distinct pictorial logos. 

Partially Animated

These logos are mostly traditional but feature small animated elements or subtle overall animation. Designing them is relatively easy because you’re essentially creating a static logo and adding minor animations to specific parts. Partial animation is typically used in the background to create a lively atmosphere and grab attention, making the logo more memorable and noticeable to new audiences.

Animated Introductions

One option is to gradually build up the logo through motion, taking the audience on a journey. This approach works well for simple logos or when additional elements aren’t desired. The focus should always be on the end goal of the static logo as the centerpiece, with animations used to bring the logo elements together.

Animated Wordmark

This style spells out the brand wordmark. Each letter of the name is animated individually as it first appears.
