smartbluecat logo

My first attempt at a logo for myself created using maya, after effects, photoshop, audition, a coin, a table, a creaky chair and an old beaten up piano.

You were putting down 2 years ago lol, see how creativity evolves and this is already great!

@EricPinaIAmGod Yeah this is me learning as I went. I think it still has a bit of charm... that creaking you hear is my old computer chair.

:o)

Thanks mate! It was a fun little project - I only ever used it once - at the end of my showreel here on the tube.

:o)

Glad you liked it.

I was reading the description on the side here Gary! Cool job of it but the beat up old piano gave me a chuckle! Have you used this logo since making it?

[smartbluecat]

Thanks,

:o) that piano is the one at my work that I taught myself on. It's such a state - half of the keys don't come back up when you hit them. I used this logo once on a reel a year ago but since then I've shrugged off my anonymity.

:o)

It was really just practise anyway.

[smartbluecat]

Cheers, that's what I was aiming for. I needed some way for the cat to stand out against the 3d world as it built itself around him. Making him sketchy makes him feel a more honest representation of my muddled mind.:o)

Thanks!

[johnburnap]

beauty! the cat looks animated, sketchy and thats a GOOD thing. sometimes one can say more with less. (lineart)

[smartbluecat]

Thank you very much, man!

Fantastic logo animation. So many elements but they work together well.
