Both animation looks great and beautiful(i loved both) but for me the first one works better because it take no extra long time to unveil the name while the second one takes a little longer time to reveal the company name.
Two directions for Amber House, my real estate website template. The first pairs a closer architectural crop with an asymmetric layout. The second gives the building more breathing room, with a wide view and a centered headline.
Same template, two different first impressions. Which feels stronger to you, and why?
