I hope this link works.

P.S. I know it is small and bad quality, i just did that so it would be fast



THANKS!

that's awesome, nice job!

Spruce up the logo a bit though (if you made it, if you were given this logo it's fine i suppose)

the logo text seems too plain, other than that the animation is beautiful! :flower:

is there a way you think to spruce up the logo w/out adding too many colors?.... I hear its bad for logos to have too many colors..... thanks for the encouragement...

Its ok, Looks like you used masking. Try using the write on effect for a more dramatic look also look into using a adjustment layer with that. Also use the 3d layer on precomps.

uh.... huh?........ please explain a little....... precomps, adjustment, write on????? Im so confused!
