Why Use Logo Animation Templates
Starting from scratch can be hard, and a template gives you a good jumping off point. They can provide the inspiration to work out what you want.
A popular argument for not using a template is that it can dilute the uniqueness of your brand. While that can be true, it’s important to consider why that might be the case and the things you can do to negate that, if so. Using a template can be a good solution in many situations, as you can customise them without needing to know the software inside out.
How to Create a Logo Animation Using a Template
Customise Your Template
You want your logo animation to be unique, and templates allow for customisation. This is where you can cement your brand and make it different from other similar offerings. Be sure to adjust colours to match your brand, sticking with a simple colour palette.
Be Consistent
Even if you’re using a template to create a video logo, be consistent, and choose templates with movement and moods that match those of your brand. We have some more advice in our tutorial, How and Why: Create an Animated Logo Reveal.
Choose Carefully and Be Subtle
Your logo, even animated versions, shouldn’t change very often. For that reason, you should make your template choice carefully—don’t pick something you’ll hate in a few months. Logo animation should be purposeful and fit your brand’s style—less is more, and more is sometimes less!
