How do I turn my logo into a short studio style intro?

September 19, 2026 · 2 min read

A good intro is a few seconds of story that ends on your mark. The Animate your logo preset builds a small original scene around your logo and resolves it into the logo itself, whimsical, majestic, playful or minimal.

It works for channel intros, event openers, ad end cards and podcast title cards.

What you need

  • Your logo

    Required

    A clean flat logo file on a plain background. Simple solid shapes work best.

  • Describe your logo

    Optional

    Shapes, line thickness and exact colours, so the scene can be built around it. You can skip this.

  • The mood

    Optional

    The kind of scene that turns into your logo.

  • Brand colours

    Optional

    Colour names or codes. You can skip this.

  • Picture shape

    Optional

    Wide, tall or square, depending on where it will be shown.

Step by step

  1. Prepare a clean logo file

    A flat logo on a plain background works best. Simple solid shapes read better in motion than fine detail.

  2. Open the preset and add the logo

    Open Animate your logo and add your logo on the first card. If you like, describe its shapes, line weight and exact colours so the scene is built around them.

  3. Pick the mood

    Whimsical, majestic, playful or minimal decides the kind of scene that turns into your logo. The directions under the preset, such as the racetrack, paper boat and lantern idents, show finished examples.

  4. Add brand colours and the shape

    Give colour names or codes, then pick widescreen, vertical or square for where it will play.

  5. Create

    The ident renders on Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3.1, with sound, and lands in the chat and in your Library.

FAQ

Questions and answers.

Will my logo stay exactly as it is?
The scene is built to resolve into your mark, and the logo file rides along as a reference. Clean flat files with simple shapes come out closest.
Can I reuse my logo and colours elsewhere?
Yes. Save them in a brand kit, then pick the kit in the image or video composer, or set it on a project, and NOLGIA adds them to each generation there.
Which models make the ident?
Animate your logo runs on Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3.1.
Can I make a vertical version for Reels?
Yes. Pick the vertical shape on the last card, or run it again in a second shape.
Does it come with sound?
Yes. The preset renders the ident with sound on.
