Currently in Production

The production for this short logo ident started during my time at OCAD University.  It was made for a motion design course instructed by Karen Justl. We were assigned to introduce and reveal a logo over time.

A made up food produce company named “Grain” decided to change directions under new leadership.  A new logo has been commissioned to establish that arrangement. This is the brand launch video.
