Animated Logo - 5 sec Intro

> * For consideration, please provide: View the attached logo(s) and read the description below. Provide a proposal of your approach to the project, contact information, a pricing estimate, and a link to your portfolio of similar and related work. > * Purpose and usage of the animated logo: We are looking to create an animation stinger (no longer than 5 sec) of the corporate logo. It will be used primarily as an introduction to video content, as well as for the company website. This can be achieved in whatever program you wish, though AfterEffects or Flash are preferred. > * Recommended time line for the animation Our timeline is 1 month of production. > * Concept behind the logo and the visual message to communicate on the animation We want to communicate a message of progress, action, and integrity. The animation should reinforce this in a few seconds. Progress: Catalyst's logo, formed in the shape of a "C" shows a series of spheres progressing forward, accelerating their way around the word "Catalyst." Action: The orbital spheres appear as though they are moving fast. This is to reinforce the definition of a catalyst––a substance that can accelerate change of its environment. Integrity: Catalyst as a company aspires to use its "spheres of influence" to improve the circumstances and lives of its clients and employees, not just provide loans. A direction we are considering: On a neutral or white background, the each of the orbs begins spinning around the screen with dizzying speed. The orbs come to rest in the shape of the logo mark, with "CATALYST Lending Corporation" fading in and coming into focus as the orbs settle in place. These are some examples of stingers we like: [login to view URL] (first 3 sec) [login to view URL] WT.ac=item_more_thumb&WT.seg_1=item_more_thumb&WT.z_author=roddinthemighty (Hit Video Preview.
