The Flatiron Center for Psychotherapy / Logo animation / 2022

A wordmark that builds itself.

A logo animation for The Flatiron Center for Psychotherapy, built in After Effects and delivered as a Lottie file for the web plus a video render.

My role: Logo animation, After Effects rigging, Lottie export

Delivered: Final Lottie logo animation (1920×1080, 60 fps) with an HTML preview, and a 4K video render

Tools: After Effects, Lottie (Bodymovin)

The brief

The Flatiron Center supplied its brand guidelines and brand identity sheet (primary and secondary logos, brand icons, colours, typography) and wanted the logo animated.

The build

I rigged the logo so each letter of the wordmark is its own pre-comp, the three brand circles (dark blue, grey and light blue) are driven by controller layers, and a write-on handles the script part of the name before the "for psychotherapy" line comes in. Before the final version I ran a series of test exports exploring organic and 3D-looking motion for the circles; the final file is Flatiron_Center_Logo_VF_1.1.

The delivered experience

The final Lottie and its HTML preview are in the project folder, and a 19-second 4K render of the animation is in my reel archive.
