Learn how to design and animate a logo from scratch and visually communicate the essence of a brand

A course by Holke 79

First impressions are essential for a brand, and a logo is often the very first interaction a potential client experiences. That’s why creating animated logos is an effective way to build brand awareness. Graphic designer Borja Holke, known as Holke 79, has been creating animated typefaces for clients like Converse, Aerosmith’s Las Vegas residency, and sports programming for Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Copa América.

In this course, Borja walks you through the entire process of creating an engaging animated logo design from scratch. He covers the basics of working with After Effects and Cinema 4D, and teaches you how to create visually striking animations ready to share with clients.

This is Borja’s fifth Domestika course. If you are interested in learning animation to boost your portfolio, see Portfolio Animation with After Effects. If you want to learn typographic animation in more depth, take a look at Animation for Typograhic Compositions. Check out all of his courses here.
