The Rad Cactus - Animated Logo

I wanted my logo to do more than just sit in the corner — I wanted it to introduce itself.

The animation starts with a small square popping up from the bottom of the composition. Its top edge rounds out, turning the geometry into a half-square / half-circle hybrid. From there, the shape leans into its signature italic posture, and small spikes appear, completing the cactus form.

Everything was animated in After Effects and exported as a Lottie file for Webflow, keeping it crisp, scalable, and light on page load. It’s a simple sequence, but it carries the personality of my brand: structured, playful, and slightly off-angle — on purpose.
