🎥 Project Spotlight: Lesbicanarias Logo Animation Created this intro animation for Lesbicanarias, a Canary Islands-based LGBTQ+ community platform connecting people to local resources and events. 🔎 The Brief: They had a strong static logo but needed it to come alive for their podcast and social content—something that grabs attention in the first 3 seconds. 📋 The Process: Started with their existing PNG brand assets (logo + elements) Broke down the identity into animated components Built motion around the orbital design language already in their branding Designed for flexibility—works as a video intro, story asset, or standalone brand moment 🤩 The Result: A plug-and-play animation that elevates every piece of content they create. Their brand now has a motion signature. No rebrand required. Just motion that works.

Sometimes all a podcast, show, or creator needs is something quick, simple and to the point to make their brand stand out. In the case of my past client, UX En Español, they required just that. Because their content spans the educational genre, infusing their brand in a short impactful was very important to avoid distraction and dive right into their amazing content. A clever use of the logo's x allowed for a snappy, fun and on brand logo animation that has been in use now for years.

A recent YouTube Intro/Show opener I created for the Foxland.Ro (http://Foxland.Ro) YouTube channel. This was an awesome collab and one I see performing very well over time. I was supplied with the B-roll for this project along with some statics, the logo, and some reference media. The brief was to create a suspenseful, engaging and memorable opener that would help the audience transition into the videos and increase brand recognition. This style of opener is a fantastic tool for any Podcast, YouTube Channel or Creator to help build a recognizable brand that stands out and captures attention.

Final submission for the #shareyourwork challenge! This was a really fun project to work on, an animated opener for the Branding For Breweries podcast. I was supplied with a brief script, a set of brand assets and then given free rein to get creative. It's effective, and really drives home the key topics of the podcast before the audience gets to listening and sets the tone for what's to come.

An older piece of work I did for a TEDx conference. This was the opener for the conference. Featured across the TED brand and matching the overall branding and assets for the show. Love working on these short, to the point openers. They work great anywhere, Podcasts, YouTube, In-person conferences, you name it.

Today's Submission for the #shareyourwork challenge. A promo video I did for the British company AE Sewing a while back. A mix of motion graphics and b-roll blended together in a fast, energetic format, finishing off with a logo animation.

Posting one of my all-time favorite projects today. Clients still reference it regularly, and it's opened the door to so many new opportunities. I love working on gritty/grunge style motion graphics—they're less about precision and more about capturing the right vibe. This style of show/podcast opener also makes it super easy to get your subject across, setting the tone for what's to come in a short, easily digestible format.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of working on a logo animation/intro for the Crypto.NL (http://crypto.nl) podcast. Here's what it does: Brands every episode instantly—people know it's crypto.nl (http://crypto.nl) before anyone speaks. Gives the host 3–5 seconds to settle in while viewers get oriented. Makes clips shareable—that intro on a 30-second snippet screams professionalism. Separates them from the thousand other crypto podcasts with static title cards. People saying “just get to the content” don't understand podcast psychology. Viewers want that moment of anticipation. It signals the show is about to start and sets the stage for what's about to come. What do you think, are show openers still worth it in 2025?
