Updated: Jul 18

Ever wondered how to breathe life into your static logo? Look no further! In this tutorial, we'll unravel the secrets to animating any logo imaginable, right from the comfort of your Canva canvas.

Step 1: Duplicate and Break It Down

First things first, we duplicate our canvas page to ensure we have a clean slate to work with. Next, we embark on the thrilling task of dissecting our logo into separate shapes. So duplicate your logo on the page.






Step 2: Crop, Crop, Crop!

With precision and finesse, we use Canva's cropping tool to isolate each element of our logo. It's all about refining those edges to perfection!

Step 3: Magic Erase to the Rescue

Now, here comes the fun part – magic erase! With a wave of our digital wand, we make unwanted elements disappear, leaving behind only what truly matters – our logo in its purest form. In this case, we erase the leaves and the top part of the text from each side of the feet.

Make sure you have each leaf, each foot, and the logo text each as a separate element.

Step 4: The Animation Begins

Hold onto your seats because it's time to animate! With each page duplication, we gradually move our logo elements, creating a mesmerizing happy feet dance.


Duplicate your page, and move your elements a little bit. Duplicate your page again, and move the elements some more. Repeat this process.

Step 5: Adding Flair with Leaves

What's an animation without a touch of nature? We create an illusion of the leaves growing and appearing in the composition.



Here's how to do it:


1. Add a square shape in the same color as the background.

2. Place the leaves on both sides of the square.

3. Duplicate the page, and on the second page, hide the leaves behind the square.

IMPORTANT STEP!

Add a "Match & Move" page transition between all the pages to make the animation smooth.





Step 6: Fine-Tuning and Sound Effects

As we approach the finish line, we add those final touches – adjusting timing, enhancing contrast, and adding sound effects to elevate the entire experience. (Watch the video to see the details).


You've created a masterpiece in motion! With Canva as your creative playground, the possibilities are endless. So, go ahead, unleash your imagination, and let your logo shine like never before.
