Project Description

This experimental logo animation project was self-initiated to showcase a cinematic and high-detail identity reveal using both 2D and 3D workflows. It explores personal branding, motion storytelling, and technical execution through a professional pipeline involving Illustrator, Photoshop, Blender, and After Effects.

Problem

Wanted to push the creative boundaries of a personal logo animation using industry-grade tools with a cinematic look and real-time render feel.

Solution

Designed a bold “Y” mark in Illustrator, textured in Photoshop, modeled and lit in Blender using Cycles render, then finalized in After Effects with custom easing, sound sync, and post-glow FX. Portrait resolution was chosen for vertical platform optimization.

Impact

The result was a polished, cinematic motion piece used for personal branding, video intros, and portfolio showcasing. It reflects creative direction, 3D integration, and precise motion control—perfect for social media intros, brand kits, or design reels.

My Responsibilities

  • Sketched and vectorized the base Y-logo design in Illustrator.
  • Created grunge overlays and matte elements in Photoshop for texture realism.
  • Built 3D scene in Blender, including lighting rig and camera path animation.
  • Used After Effects for final animation timing, glow effects, and export optimization.
  • Explored cinematic branding use-cases for social media intros and reel openings.
