Free After Effects Project: Beginner Logo Motion in Three Levels (よしつぐ峻平, Vook)
Preview from the original source by よしつぐ峻平 (Vook)

Overview

Designer and motion grapher よしつぐ峻平 shares the After Effects project behind a beginner article on the Japanese video-creator site Vook that animates one logo at three difficulty levels. The beginner level splits the logo into letters and animates their positions with easy ease, the graph editor, offsets and motion blur; the intermediate level traces the logo on with Trim Paths, an alpha matte and CC Force Motion Blur; the advanced level extrudes the logo in 3D with the CINEMA 4D renderer and adds walls, a floor, a camera, lights, materials and Camera Lens Blur.

The AEP (motion_logo.aep, with three Illustrator logo files) sits in a free Dropbox folder linked at the end of the article with no signup; the author asks that it not be redistributed or modified, and the version is not stated.
