I'm gonna be honest, I think the London 2012 Olympic Games logo is genuinely really good. Poppy colors, sharp edges, the general cartoon vibe of it. Like, idk if I'm just blind or stupid but I like it significantly more than the average logo
I wasn't a fan of the London 2012 logo at first. But I grew to love it once the Games started. Regardless of the aesthetic merit of its design, it is at least distinctive and is part of some wonderful memories of a great Olympics.
logos are actually meant to be super simplistic to be easily memorable. for example, the apple and mcdonalds logo. the problem with oversimplifying logos is most take the elements of what made the logo look good.
@@kienserapio I thought they maybe meant generic. The M and the apple logo are very simple, and that’s part of what makes them so iconic, but they also don’t resemble other logos you see much. They stand out despite their simplicity. The logos in the video were also pretty simple, but not generic.
Honestly I didn’t even notice anything wrong with the oriental studies logo until you mentioned that it looked like an obscene act 😂 I was like “why do people hate this logo so much? It doesn’t even look bad- oh. Oh that’s why”
@@jaywu4804 Had to go back to the "dancing people" logo to see why it's funny but recognized the "oriental studies" immediately... Yes, I'm into butts XD
You almost, ALMOST, had me convinced you fixed the Institute logo. But the bounce at the end made milk come out my nose. And I haven't drank milk in days!
Humour, wit, inspo and how-to. The perfect combo to your videos! What a great idea to animate old logos! Keep them up, Ben! Would love to see more animated bad logos!
This video had me SCREAMING! Your British references were on point, who doesn't love a little King's sausage fingers and beans on toast with a lavely bit o' Houses of Parliament sauce. Splendid as always Ben!
*What* *a* *masterpiece, Ben!* Lots of technical insights mixed with hilarious subtle jokes made this so enjoyable to watch. I can only imagine how much work you went through. I'm commenting here to give more than a like for the algorithm. This video deserves 1 million views right now!
Everybody's so wonderfully creative... On the Olympics logo all I could see was someone wheezing out of breath which is... unfortunate, but neither as bad or specific than Simso Fellatio.
"I've found some pictures of the old Jolly Roger" I'm crying, but it's true! 😂 The Jolly Roger being the standard skull and crossbones on the black flag, for the uninitiated
The unfortunate part about the logo animation with a hard cut to reveal the final logo is that relies heavily on the accompanying audio to make it all work. watching it on mute or behind some other music piece runs the risk of dismantling how cool it all looks by making that hard cut transition just feel awkward and out of place.
Who wouldn't click the affiliate link?! The humor in your videos is enough to make me buy a plugin I'll never use. Loved the second reveal (and yep, I remember seeing the 2012 logo and not being overly annoyed by it).
I had this weird anxious feeling that kept growing during the video. I couldn't put my finger on it but i knew something wasn't right or something was missing. It kept growing and growing until finally, when the flame of hope was about to go out, less than a minute before the video ended it happened. "We always label our layers". At last, I let out a huge sigh of relief. All was well in the world.
I should note as an additional point against the London Olympics logo that it's a roughly square shape composed of four sharply bent arms. Those are just risky in general.
Deep glow and Red Giants Glows are indeed good - however, I find it so odd that Adobe almost never updates or makes new plugins for AE - Not talking about complex things like particular etc but base level things like linear glows, noise types, unmult etc - anyways, great video as always.
That last down motion in the last logo was uncalled for 💀
