to all my premium content.
So let's start.
Import the files you need into After Effects.
You can download the full project including
the sound effects, from the link in the description.
Create a new composition and name it: logo
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: animation.
Don't forget to select move all attributes
into the new composition.
Open the animation composition.
Right click on the logo layer, and pre-compose
it again.
Name this composition: logo.
Go to effects and presets panel, and search
for: simple choker.
Apply it to your logo layer, then change the
choke matte to 15.
Search for warp.
Apply it.
Then change, warp style to: bulge.
Warp axis to vertical.
And bend amount to 100.
Search for cc lens, and apply it to your layer.
Change convergence to -200.
Size to 0, and create a keyframe here, at
the beginning of your composition.
Click U, to reveal the keyframe.
Move to 15 frames, and change the size to
6.
Move to 1 second and 15 frames, and change
the value to 5.
Move 15 more frames forward, and change the
value to 17.
Move to 3 seconds, and lower the value to
14.
Then, move to 4 seconds and 15 frames, and
set the value 110.
Select only these 4 keyframes, right-click
on any of them, and easy ease them.
Duplicate the logo layer.
Then, select the bottom one, and click edit,
split layer.
Delete the remaining part of this layer.
Select the top logo layer, and delete the
CC lens, and the warp effects from it.
Change the choke matte to 40.
Search for CC Pixel Polly, and apply it to
your layer, but, it's very important to place
it above the simple choker effect.
Change the gravity to 0.5.
The spinning angle to 56 degrees.
And the grid spacing to 64.
Click the left bracket button on your keyboard,
to change its in point, and make it start
from 4 seconds and 15 frames.
Then, duplicate this layer, and adjust its
settings like this.
Change force to 70.
Gravity to 0.
Grid spacing to 10.
Choke matte to 15.
Move to 6 seconds and 15 frames, and create
a keyframe on choke matte.
Then move to 7 seconds, and change its value
to 35.
Go back to your logo reveal composition, and
let's see how our animation is looking.
Not bad, but we have a lot more until the
final logo reveal.
Create a new solid, and name it: background.
Even if in this example I'm using a bigger
size, it's better to make it comp size.
Go to effects and presets panel and search
for: ramp.
Apply it to your composition, and adjust its
settings like this.
Change this value to 540.
This one to 3000.
Change ramp scatter to 35.

Make sure to have no fill.
Set the stroke color to a dark gray like this
one.
And the width to 2 pixels.
Then hold the shift button pressed, and draw
a line like this, vertically as much as possible
in the middle, and a little less wide than
your logo.
Precompose this shape layer,
And name the new comp: text.
Open the text composition.
Select the text tool, and start writing your
texts.
This will be my secondary text, and I will
use the Noteworthy font, with the same gray
color as the line above, and 35 pixels size.
Place your text like this, then align it horizontally
in the middle.
Unselect your text layer.
Then change the text color to an orange color
like this one.

And start writing the main text.
You can always use different colors and fonts,
be creative.
Place this text around here.
And align it horizontally in the middle.
Move to the first frame, select the shape
layer, and open its scale property.
Unlink the scale sizes, change the x value
to 0, and create a keyframe here.
Move 1 second forward, and change the value
back to 100%
Go back to your logo reveal composition.
Place your text comp under the animation composition,
then click control D to duplicate it.
Rename the bottom text layer: text shadow.
Select your main text layer, go to effects
and presets panel, and search for: slider
control.
Apply it to your layer.
Move to the first frame.
Change the slider value to 25, and create

Move 2 seconds forward, and change its value
back to 0.
Click U, to reveal its keyframes, select only
this keyframe, and easy ease it.
Click P, to open the position.
Hold your alt button pressed, and click on

Again, alt-click on the stopwatch.
Paste the expression from before, and add
divided by 2, before the closing bracket.
Select the text shadow layer, open its scale
property, unlink the values, and change the
y value to 12%.
Open the position, and change the y value
to 860.
Search for fill. Apply it to your layer, and
change its color to black.
Search for fast blur.
Apply it.
And change the blurriness to 160.
Select both text layers, move to 4 seconds

number to 18.
Click on, transform repeater 1.
Here, you have to change the position to 0.
And the rotation angle to 20 degrees.
Drag your burst layer under the animation
comp.
And check how it looks.
If you fill that is not wide enough, open
the scale, and change it as much as you need.
In my case, I will scale it up to 120%
It looks great.
Select the animation comp, and duplicate it
2 times.
Click here to make the top layer invisible.

Change the transition completion to 11.
And the width to 238.
Duplicate the Venetian blinds effect.

And the width to 247.
Open the rotation of the solid layer, and
change the angle to -16 degrees.
Go back to your logo reveal composition.
Bring here the texture composition, and place
it right between the 2 animation layers.
Search for turbulent displace, and apply it
to your texture layer.
Change the amount to 53.
The size to 23.
Alt-click on the evolution stopwatch, and
write this expression:
Time multiplied by 50.
Search for linear wipe.
Apply it.
Change transition completion to 45%.
Wipe angle to -39 degrees.
And the feather to 4.
Search for CC lens.
Apply it.
Then change the size to 25.
And the convergence to -200.
Change the track matte of the texture layer
to: alpha matte.
