Advanced Flash

Taking Flash animation to the next level

Once we’ve designed your logo, you’ll want it to move. Perhaps you want to use your logo in a sophisticated Flash presentation complete with interactive menus and multiple scenes. Or maybe you’re in the mood for a wild 3D version of your logo that spins like the movie logos you’ve seen at the local cinema. It’s all possible with our Advanced Flash Animation package. Our designers use the latest in Adobe Flash and Swift 3D animation software and techniques to create web compatible animations unlike most other design companies you’ll find. Not content to simply move pieces of your logo around the screen, our designers create mini-movies, complete with 3D animation, sound or music (if required) and can supply you with different resolution clips so that you can add your movie to websites and multimedia presentations. As part of our Advanced Flash Animation service, we can create full-blown Flash demos and multimedia presentations with music (library), sound FX, 3D logo animation and interactive menus. To add further dynamics to your presentation, we can add music – from our library or exclusive music, or as part of a completely custom musical soundtrack. With our Advanced Flash Animation service, we’re only restricted by our imaginations!

Advanced Flash or Logo Lick?

Depending on your budget and requirements, you may opt for our Logo Lick animation services, or for a more dynamic presentation, you can select our Advanced Flash option as outlined on this page. Many clients often ask us what’s possible if they purchase an Advanced Flash Package and as with all things graphic, it’s best that we showed you. You can view examples of Flash animation in our Showroom or here. You can also see what goes into an advanced project by taking a look at a scene-by-scene Flash animation tutorial on our studio blog.

How our advanced Flash logo animation services work

When you submit your advanced Flash project via an online form, you will be asked to tell us what kind of animation you have in mind OR, you can leave it up to our designers to come up with their own brand of animation and theme. We’ll consult with you directly, or send you a proposal story board or text outline which will help you visualize the final animation. Once you’ve approved the Flash outline, we’ll create a ‘working’ movie – a quick pass of the final animation that will allow you to clearly see how your logo animation will appear once completed. You’ll be able to view this work on your very own Factory Floor client page, a client only part of our website that you can access from where ever you have internet access. After viewing this working animation, you can tell us what you’d like to see changed and once your animation is approved, we’ll render Flash files at for use on your website. You can then download these animations off your client page and use them right away.

What we need to begin your advanced logo animation

In order to develop Flash logo animations, we require access to your logo in the correct vector based file formats (EPS or AI Adobe Illustrator format – NOT extruded or trimmed). If you are a TLF client, all our logo design packages include these file formats, so we’ll already have the necessary files on hand. If you already have a logo, but only have bitmap versions available, The Logo Factory will first have to repair your artwork. Please note – logo repair services are not included with Flash animation
