ClearSkye: Lottie Logo Fill

An animated Lottie version of the ClearSkye logo: the cloud mark fills in through seven layered blues before the wordmark appears, delivered with a mark-only variant for use as a site preloader.

Client: Clearskye

ClearSkye / Lottie logo / 2021

A cloud mark that fills in, layer by layer.

My role: Logo animation and Lottie export

Delivered: Two Lottie files (full logo, and cloud mark only), 1500×1500 at 60 fps, about 4 seconds each, plus the After Effects project

Tools: Illustrator, After Effects, Lottie (Bodymovin export)

The brief

ClearSkye hired me on Upwork to turn its logo into an animated Lottie file. The job ran over four days in January 2021, and on the earlier portfolio the result was listed as a preloader animation.

The build

I prepared the vector logo in Illustrator and built the animation in After Effects as seven blue shape layers, each revealed through its own mask so the cloud fills in step by step, with the wordmark revealed last. The first pass ran 3 seconds; the final runs about 4. The delivery package also included a "Cloud solo" variant without the wordmark and the final After Effects project.

The delivered experience

The final Fill v3 file is the same file that was hosted on LottieFiles for the earlier mograph.life portfolio.
