CHECK OUT THE NEW LOGO IN MOTION!

Last week, I introduced The Athletic Nerd’s brand new logo.  It’s a small change but an important step when it comes to branding my movie blog.

Towards the end of the week, I found myself with a free morning so I decided to dust off my copy of After Effects and animate it.  I was instantly reminded how intricate but fun the software can be.

It took me a while to remember all the shortcuts I once knew but before long, I was building my animation.

It’s not the most complicated thing in the world but I’m a fan.  I thinking about creating animations for all of the images I use to brand each post.  There really isn’t an end game to this work but I definitely had fun putting this little animation together.

It was also an opportunity to launch The Athletic Nerd’s new YouTube channel.  There is literally no content there yet but there is a plan in place to utilize it in the future.
