This logo animation was built using classic animation principles inspired by traditional animation. Techniques such as squash and stretch, anticipation, timing, and easing were applied to give the “G” a sense of weight, elasticity, and rhythm.

The movement feels smooth and intentional, guiding the eye naturally as the logo appears. Instead of relying on effects, the animation focuses on motion fundamentals, creating a result that feels playful and polished.

By applying traditional animation techniques to a modern logo, the animation feels expressive while remaining clean and easy to use across digital contexts.

The restraint in the warm palette really lets the sound-object concept breathe—especially that shift from readable type to atmosphere.

I’ve been slowly updating all of our project imagery across a new website update and and our internal decks. Logos are only a small fraction of what we do for clients now, but I still love starting there. They often set the tone for the wider identity, the visual language, and the story we’re trying to tell. Also, pretty satisfying seeing some of my favourites all together on one page.
