Flash Logo Licks

Standalone Flash animations of your logo

As a premier logo design studio, The Logo Factory has been working with Adobe‘s Flash since its introduction. This revolutionary animation software allowed our designers to take logo presentation to a new level, and combining it with our graphic design services was a natural. Over the years we’ve pushed the envelope, turning blase presentations into attention grabbing extravaganzas. Imagine your new logo spinning, flying and forming from a series of disparate shapes into its completed form. Imagine that animation greeting your web site visitors, or appearing on all your office monitors. That, in a nutshell, would be a Flash Logo Lick. And like all our design services – getting a Flash animation of your logo is simple. Simply submit your project, our designers will get to work, and you’ll be able to login to our Factory Floor client area to see the work as it progresses. Sound easy? It is.

Advanced Flash or Logo Lick?

Does your project qualify for a Flash Logo Lick treatment, or does it require the bells and whistles of an Advanced Flash? That all depends on a number of factors:

The complexity of your logo: If your logo is extremely complex or features photo blends, we may have to perform some pre-production work in order to get your logo Flash ‘ready’, and

The complexity of your planned animation: For examples of Logo Lick and Advanced Flash animations, see our Flash examples in the Showroom.

How our Logo Lick animation services work

Quite simply really. You send us a form, telling 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 send you a proposal story board which will help you visualize what we have in mind. Then, we’ll show you our work on the Factory Floor. You tell us what you’d like to see changed and once your animation is approved, we can render your Flash .SWF files at a web-friendly resolution. You can then download off our site, and we’ll send you the whole shooting match on a CD with instructions and technical guides (if required).

What we need to begin your Logo Lick animation

In order to develop a Logo Lick animation, we require access to your logo in the correct vector based file formats (EPS or Adobe Illustrator format – NOT extruded or trimmed). If you are a TLF client, all our logo design packages include these 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.
