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.

Here's my submission for Kittl's Contra Challenge. Built a Rolex Daytona ad, that Rolex didn't ask for. Took the Daytona apart piece by piece and brought it all back together. I wanted it to feel like a real luxury ad that lets you sit with every detail up close. The whole thing was designed and animated in Kittl. Kittl Project Link Tools used: Kittl: Image and video generation. Capcut: Video stitching, and sound design.
