Animating the X Logo in 9 Styles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
- I'm animating Musk's redefinition of pixels, the X logo. I'm using all of my design, animation, motion graphics, and miniature diorama skills to redeem this mistake of a logo and I'm barely taking any shots at Elon himself, barely.

Footnotes:
00:02 - $4 - $20 Billion is the latest estimate.
00:34 - Rumor has it his father got his share of that mine by trading a private jet for it. (was probably not that fancy of a jet, but still)
00:38 - This belief is purely based on the average age of learning to swim confidently in the deep end of the alphabet.
01:51 - His head and heart must be just massive to take on that burden. Poor Chap.
02:31 - If it's not clear, The Wall is a critique of Fascism, and while your here American Psycho is a satire.
02:40 - Why is twitter verification not government subsidized?
02:55 - This is a real channel & Wham Baam Teslacam is the greatest channel name in history.
03:28 - I couldn't find a way to include it in the video, but one reason for the rediculous number of safety violations is Elon's dislike for the colour yellow, so it was removed... even on the hazard markings and safety signs.
04:45 - Pantone's stranglehold on the colour market is unacceptable. It's the colour of a plant! itgrows out of the ground!
05:21 - Even softer than you'd think.
05:43 - The Namek Sage should be mandatory in all art schools.
05:59 - I was particularly proud of getting the cheeks to bounce opposite the muscles for this one.
08:14 - I'm not discounting using circles, guides or grids, I've even used circles myself in times of need. But they're not the be all and end all of good design.
08:43 - One Step Closer has aged beautifully. Even the video.
09:28 - I'm ashamed of how proud I am of this creation.
09:50 - If you don't know, they're jailbraking primates brains to presumably emulate Diddy Kong Racing.
I'll be adding to this answeringmore comment, so stop by later for the extended edition!
pin this!!!
What’s the big blocky red font you use between segments?
You could say this comment has been elongated.
@@StaterNeu Fat Frank! It's on Adobe Fonts too
Being from SA, I loved the origins joke 😂😂
One of my favorite videos you've done. I love how you bend genres and make me feel like I've just watched 5 different types of RUclips video wrapped into one
whoa crazy seeing you here
wait a minecraft youtuber in a non minecraft video???
NO WAY WSG
Yo mog wsg fam you are right though this video is sick
marbl
I've enjoyed every fricking second watching this show, this is a massive masterpiece!
You legend! you've unlocked the bonus seconds, with even more fricking :D
what he said!!! 😌
This video was the trifecta of perfection:
- Educational process video
- Extremely entertaining and well-edited
- An exceptional roast
Well done!
How many animation techniques do you want to see?
Marriot, Ben: "Yes!"
I learned my lesson. Next time I'm animating a single frame
DAMN Ben, you went hard with this one hahaha. Roasting Elon with acid humor + good old Ben design and animation.... It may have become my new favorite of all your videos!
Thank you! I was afraid I may have gone a little too hard. My premiere file certainly thought so
@@BenMarriott One can never go too hard on Elon Musk, my friend.
This is fucking hilarious Ben!!! Not only are the designs brilliant but the video is written and paced so well. Had me giggling throughout!
Thank you! but this is a serious video about a serious logo for a serious app, no giggling
x gon' give it to ya@@BenMarriott
''giggling''.... Man childs do tend to giggle I guess :D
Of all the incredible roasting in this video, saying "long list of exes" and then playing the bassline to Oblivion by Grimes at 10:06... *chef's kiss*
Fuck, I didn't pick up on that. Birlliant!
A masterclass in subtlety. You were always a clever egg
Why thank you, I finally upgraded my neurolink
Do you all realise how generous this man is?! Entertaining, educational and we get the project file after. You're a legend Ben
Take a look at all the top comments. YES. WE ALL REALIZE.
I expected nothing less of amazing from you and you still blew me out of the window with this one! Your storytelling and humor are a treasure, Ben.
Oh bless your heart, thank you. The real treasure is the friends we made along the way
This is such a fantastic video. also subtly adding Grimes' Oblivion at 9:59 is insanely funny.
I find it hilarious how people believe Elon works 24/7 meanwhile he didn't even create Tesla
Man you are a damn psycho! Not only the (amazing) X ideas and animations, but the amount of PREP... Collecting assets, screenshots, screen recording, research, scripting, etc etc etc.... Commendable work man, you are a massive inspiration! Would love to meet you at The Nod Melbourne next month! 😍
See you son my friend!
The most anticipated video EVER is finally here!
The cybertruck of Ben Marriott videos!
incredible effort, man!
Entertaining and educational at the same time. We appreciate the hard work!
Thanks for watching :D Glad it tickled your noggin
Your production quality is maxed out, I couldn't think of how the video could be better! I hope that it's a popular enough niche for you to keep making videos because I enjoy them a lot!
This is hands down one of your best, with so much visual goodness and roasting. And ending on a miniature - the best!
Free project file from Ben? Thats a steal
After 3 minutes into the video I knew I had to subscribe. This video is one of the most entertaining RUclips videos I have watched in a long time on this platform! Every section felt like it's own different video! The humor was excellent, and the animations were incredible! Great job!
this is awesome, and I really appreciate the detailed explanations about how you applied these patterns/themes. Research! One thing that REALLY helps with creating meaningful work. tanx!
This is an amazing video, thanks Ben!
It brought a tear to my eye how well crafted and executed this was! Not kidding. Keep it up man, loving this direction ! This has to be one of the greatest youtube videos I've seen this year ! ❤
The blue and white logo at 6:29 actually looks cute! If they'd chosen that one, i think less people would be as upset. It keeps the same whimsical vibes as the little birdie, but with the X musk wanted. It was fantastic!
the only problem is it directly and explicitly leans into the American flag symbolism (“the social network for freedom”) and giving that to Elon is not a very good idea
@@woahmamaawoogahonkahonka what? I'm talking about the light blue background and white X that kinda looks like the previous twitter logo.
Ohhhh yeah now I see the logo you were referring to. The images move so fast that it's hard to write down the exact timings.
@@carimeslockdownedtree2654 ah okay I’ll take a look at the one you’re talking about. Sorry for the misunderstanding
edit: Oh yeah that’s fantastic
lol, you really upped the humor slider for this video. One of your best video's so far! Love all the different styles!
amazing collection of effects, as well as some top class commentary on all things Xcessive
loved everything about this man. great work
Loved this video. With different mediums being incorporated feels like a mashup with Jazza, as he experiments with different art style or mediums and would love more of this
You are hilarious Ben! Great animations, what an incredible amount of work. The legos alone! I've been reading/practicing from elemental magic over the summer and I love how you broke down your smoke animation.
It’s giving everything everywhere all at once. Incredible video. Thank you!!!
This was such a great video. Loved seeing all of the iterations you came up with and that there was a concept and reasoning behind each one. The Gatsby and Mars logos were top notch! 🙌
Superb video! Perfectly accomplished satire, yet also, amazingly educational. Loved it.
This is incredible. Great work
Oh, again such a beautifully thought out and detailed video. I love the part with the circles on the logos, just today I explained a new logo of mine like that.
Why did Elon even change it in the first place it was a good logo.
Genius moment 💪
He's has no qualification in marketing or trends.
He’s cheesy
He has a personal obsession with the letter X and saw his chance to ruin Twitter I guess... A brand that literally made it into the dictionary.
this was an insanely creative video Ben!
Hands down some of your best work. 11/10, no notes! Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish! 💪
What a video! Congrats, Ben!! This was awesome
This was incredible. It's been highly anticipated with your small teases through insta stories - but I never expected this. Brilliant and funny, as always ❤🔥
i had no idea you could make miniatures and compose music. just how skilled are youuuu!!! lots of love man. you inspire me to do better
the editing on all your recents are extremely well executed! loved the subtle course plug. understand these tubers got to get their money up, but i always fly past their 3 hour long explanation on why i should buy their course.
You are amazing dude id seen your daily stories on IG and is mindblowing the amount of work you put in this video.
That was amazing literally every second is pure gold
You're so creative. Truly inspiring work. Thank you for labeling those layers. 😊
Absolutely brilliant!
"Genesis" song intro on the part when you spoke about the eXes is GENIUS :D
bro how are you so talented and funny???????? definitely signing up for your course. hoping to catch the same humor sense in your materials too!
love your videos :D
sense of humor is to the spot (marked with X)!
Superb, no other words.
Every second is a cinematic masterpieces, even the memes
Why are your videos so f-ing good? I can't believe how high-quality production and natural they feel at the same time
It was an incredible dose of inspiration only for 12 minutes!
Fantastic work and I feel how much time you spent doing it!
Ben, it's absolutely worth it!💖🤟
Fantastic video, man. Your content just continues to get better and better. This is quite a feat, seeing as it's always been top-notch to begin with.
yeh this is your new type of videos now Ben - so good bro !!!
aside from your amazing animation skills, I love that you are not on that self made billionaire bullshit propaganda
you are clearly educated on the matter and I respect you even more for it 💗
Love how you added some of Grimes’ music in there!
A testament to your creativity! My fav was the old film version Horcrux No 7
You could make a tutorial about each logo version for about an hour and I would love to watch it.
And I dig your humor.
Uh I forgot you teased this on your IG stories! What a treat to come home to! :D
You did your research. Went above and beyond in quality of jokes, production, variety, and writing. The satirical nature here is perfect, it slowly reveals more information to those who might still be unaware Elon Stans without raising the guards. Going on my favorites playlist. I would say to keep making these but i cant fathom the work it took to create this project so successfully, so ill just say next time you feel inspired to do something like this i think yiu should!
The fact there's a musical cue at 10:00 I've not seen anyone comment on... a good double joke
Found this channel yesterday because I needed learn how to create a simple animation in After Effects. Wasn't expecting awesome content like this too 😂
I'm impressed! The production quality has reached a new level, man. Super well-structured, full of useful information, witty and entertaining. Seriously, well done!
An incredible balance between entertaining content and useful tutorials seasoned with top quality. Just wow!
This video is a GEM
You're well out there Ben, love it. Mad skillz too
"All the way down to the top." seems like such an underrated joke
This video is so inspiring. The creativity on display is through the roof! You are always outdoing yourself!
Ben, this is absolute brilliance. Bravo. 👏👏👏
Awesome!
Favorite little Easter egg was when you where talking about Elon’s “long list of X’s” and had the song Oblivion playing in the background, aka a song made by his ex lolol. So good.
The editing and attention to detail are just spot on. Great video.
this is WILD. I love the ideas, the humour AND final video. great work!
this was so good! best video yet! also love that minilogue!
Absolutely hilarious. Clever as ever and love that you're composing more music. Elon should be proud of your no-holds-barred animation tour de force.
That montage was incredible
I wish I was capable of creatively dunking on someone this hard
You're a treasure as always Ben
Absolutely adore this video 🎉 love all the hard work and Lego pieces you invested into this video, cheers 🍻
might be your best video yet! all the animations are top notch and the video itself was truly a joy to watch!
Your humor and design/animation style is flawless!!!
Ben Marriott is not only my favorite artist, he's also my favorite comedian.
All the bits are just well-timed and hilarious, executed with such grace and cleverness!
“Every horcrux was in place … I’m not 100% on the metaphor I’ve never finished the hunger games” 😂
Brilliant, thanks for the laughters
Like always, Ben Marriot's videos perfectly combine great motion graphics and superb editing. A Masterpiece!!!!
wow. Just Amazing. So much efforts to do this little piece of art, but wow...this is so inspirational, this is Motion at its finest. Bravo!
So many clever touches... Loved the little grimes
This was incredible!!!
I followed the whole process on Instagram and let me tell you an unfathomable amount of effort and experimentation went into this, great work!
the effort put into this video is crazy. well done once again.
Thank you for the sacrifice of your RUclips feed to bring us this! Is the roast we didn't know we needed.
Consider the bar raised for your next video, dude! Excellent stuff!
“Empathy” just feels like Ben became scared people would miss the satire…
Criminally underrated video
the art deco one is pretty legit IMHO
8:16 Here are the details that scream "This man is a P.R.O.F.E.S.S.I.O.N.A.L."
Really loved this new style of presentation Ben, the humour and the editing in this video was honestly too good, 12 minutes flew by so fast.
Also, did you hire an editor?
Fantastic video! I enjoyed all the jabs and the clip choices LMFAO
Excellent video!
This rules. Not only does this video feature sumptuous animation, design, cinematography, and sound design, it genuinely made me laugh.
just so good and i am definitely smiling
i wish i could like this video twice, you did an amazing job!
Example of motivation! Well done, love your work and personality.
