About this course

This hands-on course teaches the craft of logo animation in Adobe After Effects, taking a static brand mark and turning it into a clean three-to-five second animated sting. You will import layered Illustrator artwork the right way, build the four core reveal techniques (trim-path strokes, shape morphs, particle and dust builds, and masked wipes), shape every move with real easing and the graph editor instead of robotic linear keyframes, and finish by exporting a transparent WebM and an optimised GIF for the web plus a ProRes file for broadcast hand-off. You will leave able to deliver a finished animated logo package a client or a broadcaster can actually use.
