Enjoy the tutorial and good luck!
1. Simple Motion
Try to stay away from complex animation that consists of crazy rotations and big position moves. (Save that for a music video.) Keep the logo animation simple so the viewer can see the logo and subtitle.
2. Create Depth with Shadows
Of course, you may not want a logo on a white background. You can easily create depth by rotating the logo in 3D space and turning it into a light shadow. This will give the animation more character, while maintaining focus on the client’s logo.
3. Make The Logo Pop with A Light Sweep
You have probably seen the light sweep effect hundreds of times in TV commercials. Adding a light sweep that animates across your text or logo attracts attention from the viewers.
4. Light It Up with Flares
To put the icing on the cake, finish your animation with lens flares. This will bring attention to the entire logo animation and will aesthetically piece together your final product. Need Lens Flares? Check out Radium from Rocketstock.com
