Animated logo: bring your logo, choose how it comes in, download the video

A new tool in FRISO with one job: making your logo come in well. No timeline to learn, and everything stays adjustable when you want more.

Felipe RisallahFounder, FRISO

Almost every job ends with the logo. The opening of a video, the end of a reel, the signature of a presentation. It is a small piece, but it is the one everyone sees, and animating it well usually means opening a heavy program for a few seconds of work. The animated logo is a new door in FRISO for exactly that task.

From the file to the video

The animated logo in FRISO: the Sprout style selected in the side panel and a logo of a circle, two bars and a triangle in the preview
Pick a style and the preview plays it on your logo right away.

Six ways to come in

In parts, not in one block

Bring the file the way it comes out of Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape. Groups, styles, gradients and repeated symbols are read as they are, and every letter of the name becomes a part of its own.

An SVG with more than one shape comes in parts: each part keeps its color and its place and moves on its own, so a symbol and a word can arrive at different moments. A PNG or JPG comes in whole. The length adjusts itself: the logo arrives, holds for a moment and ends.

When you want more, Done opens the full Motion with your logo there, part by part: change the timing, the delay, the curve, the order and the pivot of each one. In After Effects, each part is a layer.

Free and Pro

Learn it in 45 seconds

The animated logo has its own place in FRISO: Logo, in the top bar, next to Lettering. There is a short tutorial that goes from the file to the download, with captions in English, Portuguese and Spanish, in Tutorials, under Animated logo.

Frequently asked questions

How do I animate my logo online?

Open the animated logo in FRISO, bring your logo as an SVG or PNG, choose one of the six entrance styles and download it. It runs in the browser, with nothing to install.

SVG or PNG: which one is better for an animated logo?

SVG. It comes in parts, so each shape of the logo moves on its own and stays sharp at any size. A PNG comes in whole and animates as one piece.

Can I download the animated logo with a transparent background?

Yes, on Pro: a webm video with a transparent background, to put on top of any video in any editor. The free plan downloads an mp4 in 1080p.

Can I edit the logo animation in After Effects?

Yes. The download for After Effects rebuilds the animation with each part of the logo on its own layer. The free plan gets 1 project a month; Pro has no limit.
