Animated Logo Design — Motion is to Branding What Salt is to Food

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Animated logo design rocks. There. I said it.

Motion is a tool of branding used by the best brands in the world.  (Much like salt is one of the staples used by the finest chefs in the world, yes, salt. In fact, Kosher salt is known for its bigger crystals and flavor.)

Motion. Animation. Design. Color.

Here’s the compiled video showcasing these brands. But be warned, the music is catchy and may result in involuntary motion, dancing and a sense of feeling cooler than usual.

OK, I turn the dance floor over to you.
