Logo Animation Tutorials | After effects - After Effects Logo Animation – Animate Wordmark ( Unicorn ) with Dot

In this video, I’ll show you how to animate a wordmark logo (logo made with letters only) using a smooth and creative dot movement technique. The animation is built around a single dot that travels along and around the text, interacting with individual letters using custom motion paths and masks — creating a clean and modern animated look. You’ll learn how to animate your logo in a custom way without using any plugins. This technique works best if your logo is a wordmark or text-based design.
