Building a Powerful Brand with Custom Animation: Our Process

In today’s fast-paced digital world, capturing attention is more challenging than ever. A strong brand needs more than just a logo and a tagline – it needs a unique presence that engages audiences instantly. That’s where brand animation comes in. Custom-tailored animation helps businesses bring their brand to life in a way that static images and text simply can’t. From animated logos to fully branded video content, animation is one of the most effective tools for creating a lasting impression.

At Hatch Studios, we’ve spent decades developing high-quality custom animation for brands of all sizes, industries and types. Our expertise in brand animation has helped businesses establish a unique visual identity, communicate their message more effectively, and stand out in crowded markets. Whether it’s brand logo animation or full-fledged marketing videos, our process is built around understanding what makes each brand special and translating that into compelling animated content.

Why Brand Animation is Essential for Modern Businesses

A well-designed brand animation does more than just look good – it tells a story, evokes emotions, and reinforces brand identity. Here’s why animation is so important for businesses:

• Increases Engagement: Animated content is more visually appealing and attention-grabbing than static graphics.
• Improves Brand Recognition: A well-crafted brand logo animation makes a brand more memorable.
• Boosts Marketing Efforts: Animated videos are versatile and can be used across social media, websites, and advertising campaigns.
• Simplifies Complex Ideas: Custom animation helps break down complicated concepts into easy-to-understand visuals.

Our Process: Crafting Custom Animation for Your Brand

At Hatch Studios, our approach to brand animation is methodical yet highly creative. Although it is unique for every project, and it varies according to the medium, it does tend to follow a general guideline. Here’s a basic breakdown of our process:

1. Discovery & Strategy

Before we animate anything, we take the time to deeply understand your brand. This includes:

• Analyzing your brand’s personality, values, and goals.
• Identifying key messages and target audiences.
• Researching competitors to ensure your animation stands out.

During this stage, we work closely with our clients to determine the best approach to their video branding needs. We suggest the best ways to convey those messages and offer insight into which animation style might be most suitable.

2. Concept Development

Once we’ve gathered all necessary insights, our brand animators brainstorm ideas that align with your brand identity. This phase can involve:

• Creating rough sketches and storyboards.
• Modifying and / or improving the scripts if the animation requires voiceover or text.
• Choosing color schemes, motion styles, and overall aesthetic direction.

3. Design & Animation

This is where the magic happens! The animation process varies according to the medium and style. For example, 3D animated characters require a rigging stage, whereas videos without characters do not. Our skilled brand animators bring concepts to life through:

• Brand Logo Animation: We create smooth, eye-catching animations that make logos more dynamic.
• Explainer Videos: Custom animation that breaks down your product or service in an engaging way.
• Marketing Animations: Animated advertisements, social media clips, and promotional content tailored to your brand.

Our animation process includes:

• Rigging characters and assets for smooth motion.
• Implementing transitions and effects that enhance the visual appeal.
• Synchronizing animations with sound design, voiceovers, and background music.

4. Refinement & Revisions

We believe that the best animations come from collaboration. Every project includes a number of revisions so after the initial draft is created, we:

• Gather feedback from clients.
• Make necessary adjustments to timing, visuals, or messaging.
• Ensure the final product aligns perfectly with the brand’s identity.

5. Delivery & Implementation

Once the animation is finalized, we can provide it in multiple formats suitable for websites, social media, and advertising campaigns. We also offer guidance on how to effectively integrate it into your broader video branding strategy. There’s a lot of technical considerations for every platform and we can advise on that.
