Escape Room Logo GIF

Animation Inspiration #5 - 7/14/22

Today's logo animation is for Memphis Escape Rooms

The idea was to make the logo itself act as a puzzle to solve so the text to escape before the time ran out.

Motion Graphic Principles Used: 1) Timing: countdown with puzzle pieces moving into place; 2) Anticipation: puzzle speed builds up to "unlock" the room; 3) Slow In & Out: logo & text move fast & slow down into place; 4) Exaggeration: gold glow reiterates that the puzzle was solved; 5) Follow Through: door opens completely.

Animation Inspiration #3 - 7/12/22

Continuing on with the "Animation Inspiration" series of animated logos, this animation was inspired by my nephew making it onto the Collierville Dragons Baseball team. I'm a proud uncle and thought it would be fun to see the logo in action, especially with the idea of a dragon and his tail.

FedEx Logo GIF

Animation Inspiration #4 - 7/12/22

As the 4th installment of a logo animation series, the idea was to add motion and movent to logos in a way that further informs the company's industry, service, and story.

Certain motion graphic principles are demonstrated 1) Arc: airplane travel path showing flight through the air; 2) Slow In & Out: airplane/arrow slows into place; 3) Anticipation: text moves backward before speeding off; 4) Squash & Stretch: text stretch to show speed & momentum.

Gym Logo GIF

Animation Inspiration #2 - 7/11/22

In line with the Blank Graphix value of Growth through continuous learning, this GIF was created as a case study for the current Morphing Trend seen in today's advertising and media content industries.

The gym's static logo design presents the problem of limited information. Instead, this motion graphic provides the solution to help inform audiences in a friendly and playful way about the different types of fitness services and amenities that the Esporta Gyms offer. Because of this motion graphic, this valuable information helps to entice and motivate viewers to seek out a gym membership.
