So let's start.
Import the files you need into After Effects.
You can download the project files and the
template separately, this way you will be
able to create this logo reveal animation
even if you don't want to download my template.
You can find both links in the description.

reveal. I'm using a FULL HD 1080 pixels preset,
with 30 frames per second, and 8 seconds long.
Bring the logo into your composition.
Right click on it, and pre-compose it.
Name the new composition: logo.
Don't forget to select move all attributes
into the new composition.
Create a second composition, and name it:
particle animation.
Change its width and height to 300 pixels.
Select the pen tool.
Make sure to set the fill to none.
And the stroke to solid color.
My stroke width is set to 5 pixels.
Draw a path like this.
Rename this shape layer: line.
Select the ellipse tool.
Set the fill to solid color.
And the stroke to none.
Hold shift pressed, and draw a shape like
this.
Click on ellipse 1, ellipse path 1, and change
the size values to 10 pixels.

Open its position options, and drag it like
this, until it's placed over the left edge
of the line.
Click control D, to duplicate it.
Then, drag it like this, on the other side
of your line path.
Take your time and place it as good as possible.
Open the line layer options, and click on
add, trim paths.
Open the trim paths settings.
Change the end value to 0, and create a keyframe
here.
Move to 15 frames, and change the value to
100%.
Move to 1 second and 15 frames and create
a hold keyframe.
Then move to 2 seconds, and change the value
